DS Lite Price, Launch Date Announced

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday May 4, 2006 @12:49AM from the so-shiny-have-to-touch dept.

Kotaku has word on the launch date and price point for the DS Lite, the second version of Nintendo's popular handheld console. From the article: "Nintendo today launched a thousand smiles when they finally confirmed that the DS Lite, svelte brother to the bulky, yet handsome DS, will indeed be coming to the States. The DS Lite will officially go on sale here on June 11 for a mere $130. The only official color announced thus far is that finger print ready white that seems so popular among the iPod set."

Glad they dropped the price but... by LLcj · 2006-05-04 01:03 · Score: 1, Offtopic

One can obtain a PSP for $160 by catching a special with Dell. PSP homebrew doesn't require more than a memory card and GTA (in some cases)And with only a little effort you can fill a memory card up with ripped DVD's... but I do like the DS games better (Mario Kart, Advance Wars, Metroid Prime...). DS lites are going to fly off the shelves. Gamers could win big as this will hopefully put some downward pressure on PSP games. I refuse to pay $50 for some of their titles.
