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."

  1. Uh... black wasn't even in their color set. by asdotcom · · Score: 0, Redundant

    According to this article (and a few other places on the web) there aren't even supposed to be black DS Lites. Is there a different color set that hasn't been reported? Colors were supposed to be Crystal White, Ice Blue, and Enamel Navy.

    Not necessarily, black DS Lites aren't being sold in the US.
