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."

  2. China's piracy problem by strider2k · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    China has a big problem concerning piracy. If tourists and locals are buying $1 "real" dvd without hesitation, what makes them think they'll report it to the police. So, I doubt the DS Lite is going to have any problems being sold. China, Malayasia, and I think Thailand have huge problems with this issue. Last time in China, one could buy the entire Snoopy collection of cartoons for a thrifty price. How about 10 dvds of Stephen Chow movies with about 4-8 movies per dvd? Very cheap indeed.

    that is just the most brain-dead moderating I've ever seen.
