DS Lite June 23 release date announced for Europe

ds lite black color

The DS Lite will be launching in Europe on the June 23rd for £99.99/€149.99. To compensate for the extra two week wait over the North American white-only launch, the European DS Lite will be available in black & white at launch. Nintendo DS Lite is a lighter and brighter version of the highly successful Nintendo DS, which has sold more than 4 million units across Europe and 16 milllion units worldwide.

Europeans will pay the equivalent of $191 for the DS Lite while consumers in the UK will pay $187. Compare that to the $129 Americans will be paying on the 11th of June and you’ve got some pissed off Europeans. Or more likely, all the fans of the new slicker design will eat it up like candy until it sells out.
