The wait is over. EB Games will be the first US retailer to officially launch the highly anticipated new Nintendo DS at midnight on Saturday, November 20th - that is today!

From the EB Games Press-Release:
The Nintendo DS national launch celebration at EB Games' Universal CityWalk store, considered by diehard gamers to be the interactive "hub" of the West Coast, is expected to attract the core of the dedicated game fan community that has long awaited the release of this landmark system. Pre-order customers and fans, expected to attend in the hundreds in anticipation of the midnight launch, will be able to enjoy the spirit of the local video game community and mix with peers and mutual fans. The EB Games event will feature live DJ music, spun by local artist "DJ Rap," prize giveaways, and live Astrovision game play on the giant screens above the EB Games store.
