Amazon really needs to update their video game pages.
[Video Games]  
    

After getting a DS lite a few weeks ago, I've been looking for a good accessory for carrying around those little game cards it uses.  After striking out at Best Buy, I decided to give Amazon a try.  Not really knowing the name of the product I was looking for, I decided to browse by system.  I went to their Computer & Video Games section and not noticing the system links on the side of the page, I clicked the Browse by System link at the top.  That is where I found this:

Let's see...  no Nintendo DS listed, nor is the Xbox 360 listed.  But they have the original GameBoy, N64, PlayStation and Sega Dreamcast listed.

I can't help but suspect that this page has not been updated in several years.

This reminds me of when I went to the south Des Moines Wal-Mart earlier this year looking to pick up a copy of Ghost Recon.  While there I noticed a sign stating "The Latest Games" above their game cabinet - on it was a logo for the N64, the Playstation and the Dreamcast.  I went back there a month ago looking to get a camera phone shot, but they'd since used black marker on the logos.
