Hacking Black DS Lite Has Been Discontinued

[rafcor]

According to this supposed GameStop daily newsletter, the DS Lite Onyx handheld has been discontinued. The newsletter reads:

DS Lite Onyx hardware systems have been discontinued and stores will no longer be replenished on this product. Once your store sells through its current stock of this item, please remove any empty DS Onyx display boxes (onyx color only) from the sales floor and discard. Please continue to display the other colors of the DS Lite system display boxes on the sales floor (eye level and above perimeter of DS software section, above the DS accessory section, etc).

This isn't unusual. The White DS Lite was discontinued and replaced by the Silver DS Lite. If this is true, could it mean the Onyx DS Lite has been discontinued to make way for the black DSi?

So, I'm one of the "few" people that have a black DS lite!
Wow

 

[eltrut]

I don't think few is the right word, there are millions around... Including mine.

Seems to me to be ignorant to discontinue the black DSlite. THAT is the one most people actually want.

Im glad we bought one for my sis. itwas a birthday present for her. When did the polar white discontinue?

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

WTF?
This doesn't seem like a wise choice, Ninty.

I hope that you get the "few" word!

I got mine, I'm happy with it and I, well, if anyone wants, you can just change your case with a black one bought in a lot of places. I ahd to buy another black case because mine came with the broken hinge problem.

They might be planning a new bundle? 2008 was absymal for USA first-party support, let's hope Ninty steps it up again.

Hehe if I get my replacement shell from DX, I might sell my old black case as an special limited edition shell 1!11!!

Someone from Nintendo (or someone from a store that selling DS Lite's) might have made this all up so more people will go out and buy a black DS Lite. Just saying.

Since the DSi will be released soon, they want to sell it without any interference from DS Lite, that must be the reason behind this.
I don't think that there'll be any special bundle on the release date, since in Japan didn't had bundles.

I used to have black DSL (before it was stolenT_T) and I really like it.
Guess I have to get black DSi now

good bye GBA
