DS TV Tuner brings down Nintendo Website
Who would have thought that a simple tv tuner could bring down Nintendo’s Japanese website? Nov 8 was the day pre-orders started for Nintendo’s 1seg DS tuner peripheral. The peripheral, which makes the DS capable of receiving 1seg digital television broadcasts, is being sold exclusively through Nintendo’s e-commerce site.

So how many units did Nintendo sell in this first day? Nintendo’s PR department issued a statement: “We started taking orders at 1:00PM. It seems that there were many hours of confusion. We still do not know specifics on the state of pre-orders.”
Those who order the 6,800 yen device will receive it on the 20th.
