European DS Lite Announcement

[Ace Gunman]

Black DS Lite hm? Looks good. Very sleek.

 

[Noobix]

Awesome...prefer the white, but might get one of each. (One for my son

)

At last we have launch date for the UK!!!

Now I just need to sort out some EZ4's etc.

 

[Vater Unser]

Once again we see how much NoE likes it's consumers! Unlike NoA...

yes, we have to pay 50€ more, because NoE likes us so much

 

[crazipali]

Black is sweet! I'll still be happy with the white.

Nintendo is making a very smart move by copying the already trendy iPod look. Doesn't anyone else agree?

 

[TheRocK]

wow, finally we here in Europe get the DS Lite, can't wait to buy one of those black beauties!

 

[El Diablo]

w00t! Black DS Lite.

 

[ShadowXP]

The black version is niiice. Now let's hope they come out with a black Wii...

 

[TheStump]

hmm, well im stocked, EB games in Oz are having some sale with trading in games and the console for a cheaper DSlite.

the deal is
trade in
1ds, 2 games = pay $99
1 ds, 4 games = pay $39

lol i was lucky enough to find kmart selling overstocked ds games for $13 barnd new, i just broung 5 of them, lol i bought 2 copys of polarium and 2 copys of project rub, also brought tetris and resident evil, all for $13 AU each.

lol i kept tetris obviously, and traded in the 4 crap games and got $40 bucks for Resident Evil as store credit at the EB which payed for the $39 for the lite.

lol so i basically am getting a lite for $65 AU when i trade in my old ds...WOOOOOOO

Remember thats $AU oz i poor.

 

[Zaraf]

That "black" looks more like "grey" to me though...

 

[shaunj66]

Heh, I would have thought you'd have been the first one to post in this topic. I guess you didn't get here soon enough.

Wow, black for Europe. That was an unexpected move. I think I might actually prefer Navy Blue over the Black though.

 

[junker]

navy beats black! and i'm not just saying that cuz i'm stuck with my expensive import

LOL, I agree.....but I'm saying that because I am stuck with my expensive import

 

[p5100pc3]

Wow that black looks sweet man. I guess the longer wait has it's advantages! I can't wait to get my hands on the Lite either way. The only sucky part is that the ds is so bulky that it's hard to play on a crowded train, I always end up bringing my gba cuz I can play most games with one hand (no one hander jokes fellas!)

Black DS Lite looks nice, but how come I see brown DS Lite?

Europe gets the DS Lite at a expensive cost

Not very fair comparing to other countries.

This is a question for people in Europe.

Are there a lot of gamers in Europe? If not, then that might explain why Europe's DS Lite are more expensive. As I remeber from my Economic class, companies are willing to sell the samething for less if there's a lot of people buying. If less people are buying, then they'll sell the samething for more.

Me too (the sig's a bit of a giveaway

). But seeing as I can't actually afford one until January at the earliest they're bound to have brought out another colour for the christmas season, maybe even something slightly more girlie if we're really lucky

Pink would actually look really good with the shiny/clear finish that the Lite has.

..i mean. FOOTBALL, BBQ, MUSTACHES! there.

I'm sure Europe has a lot of ds gamers, maybe even more than in the US..right? Anyway, nearly all games and consoles get an msrp in Europe that is higher than Asia or America's. I don't know why, but it might be because of taxes or something?

and upon taking a closer look at the black one, i think i prefer the navy

Here's another pic of the black one:
