She managed to find me an enamel navy in a city next to Kumamoto and hopefully it is a made in Japan unit. She sent these pictures today
My buddy and I have done tons of research and I have the following items waiting for the DSL
1. Hori blue hard pouch
2. Hori clear crystal case
3. bestskinsever skin
4. Martin Fields screen protector and hori (Martin Fields are going to take a while to get to me)
5. R4DS
6. Kingston Japanese branded 1 gig x 2
I can't wait and does anyone know the cheapest most reliable/fastest shipping method/carrier from Japan to US?
UPDATE 9/19 Got it and took some pics
I am going to confess my undying love, affection, and gratitude for this girl because she went through the trouble of finding a sold out item (similar to the Wii situation x 10 since dsl launch day) and getting it to me in 2.5 - 3 days from Japan to my door. I installed a best skins ever and hori clear case ASAP. It went from the packaging into the protective measures the second I got it. I should have taken pictures without any of the protective stuff on but I wanted protection from the first minute. I think I went a little overboard with the bestskinsever full body skin, hori clear case, decagirl Dpad/button skin and hori hard pouch, but nothing bad is happening to this baby. If you notice the bestskinsever and the hori clear case are a tight fit and the hori clear case and the DSL press together at some points (kinda like pressing your face against a window) and it leaves an impression, but I'll trade it for the added protection. Here are the pics of my new DSL and some shots of my buddies onyx with his Hori gear. He too is a Hori slut.
1. The whole package
2. If you notice the bestskinsever and the hori clear case are a tight fit and the hori clear case and the DSL press together at some points (kinda like pressing your face against a window) and it leaves an impression, but I'll trade it for the added protection. Nevertheless this blue has almost shade changing characteristics which is pretty cool. Under low light it is almost back and under bright light it is a very vibrant metallic navy.
3. Open with my Hori hard pouch. I suggest EVERYONE to get this pouch. It is awesome. The DSL fits perfectly, the shell is stiff, and has a divided compartment and extra storage. The craftsmanship is excellent and materials are quality stuff.
4. I wanted to protect the D bad and buttons area just in case some of my little cousins get a hold of it and I thought it would add a bit of contrast to the DSL and a little customization. I'm also a car buff and like the look of carbon fiber.

5. Hori sluts. I am glad we did tons of research because I am very happy with our purchases.
