GameStop wasn’t among the retailers to carry Korg DS-10 at launch — presumably because they didn’t think there was a market for a $40 synthesizer program on the DS.

Their website is now accepting preorders for the program, which has been out since November elsewhere. That’s pretty weird.

Their change of heart may be due to sales, or it may be due to the fact that the MSRP has dropped to $30. In either case, if you know how to work musical instruments and/or synthesizers (unlike me) it is a really, really awesome tool. If you’re completely in the dark about music, it’s still a pretty bizarre toy.
