Several bigger websites already received their Nintendo DS, but pretty soon many gamers will get their hands on their Nintendo DS a week early as well.

It appears that Gamestop has been granted permission to ship the pre-ordered Nintendo DS's starting the 15th of November, instead of the earlier set 21st. Several clients already received a confirmation email from the company that the Nintendo DS releasedate has been changed.

Other companies, such as EBgames, also show hints on an early release: order status for pre-orders now show "preparing package for shipment" instead of the normal "pre-ordered" status.

Nintendo still holds the official releasedate on the 21st.

*update* Gamestop has changed their release date...

Shortly after this article got posted, Gamestop changed the releasedate for the Nintendo DS on their website. Even though Gamestop changed the date of the Nintendo DS itself, the gamepage for Feel the Magic: XY/XX still reads "Pre-Release ETA: 11/16/04".

Whether a mistake was made by both EBGames and Gamestop, or that Gamestop is trying to keep customers from claiming their pre-ordered DS (since individual stores were said to be allowed to determine the releasedate themselves) remains unknown.
