Over 12,000 black Nintendo DS Lite Systems Stolen

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the is-that-retail-wholesale-or-government-contract dept.

Wowzer writes "$2.32 million worth of black Nintendo DS Lite systems stolen in Hong Kong when their shipment making its way from China, where the DS Lites are made, to Europe where the black DS Lites are launching on June 23rd. The Hong Kong police suspected that the black DS Lite units sold in Hong Kong recently were part of the same theft and offers one million Hong Kong dollars ($128,840 or 102,138) to anyone with a tip. So next time you see one being sold on eBay from Hong Kong, give the cops a call."

    Just a note, that is the wrong pic. That is one of the Regular black DS, where they are saying the Black DS Lites were the ones stolen.

    Wow, so you didn't even bother to read the summary. Good job!

    And to whichever mod modded the GP 'offtopic,' it's a perfectly valid question. Knowing which currency the 102,138 number is in would help. I'd look it up in TFA, but fucking Websense won't let me.

    Nope - some are black, some are white (at least in the UK).
    amazon.co.uk and again (although you can possibly get them cheaper elsewhere - importing the white one from Australia, for example)

    Black is currently a Europe-exclusive color. Says so right on Wikipedia.

    102,138 Euro. For some reason if you enter the Euro symbol into your comment (or at least if you use the character from TFA), it gets stripped out.
