DS Lite in May says EGM

An EGM scan pretty much confirms what we've all been thinking: The DS Lite looks set to launch on 21 May, the same day New Super Mario Bros. bounces into stores. Don't worry--the game will still work on the old DS!

Well, well my prediction is correct. I guess I will be canceling that order with Lik-Sang.

I thought Nintendo said "june" at GDC? Maybe I heard wrong...

Does the article say anything about the European release date?

This is stated as "fact" in the magazine and this posting, however, Nintendo has given NO confirmatioin of this to anyone including EGM. This is EGM guessing like everyone else. It is possible for May 21....but it is just as possible, in my opinion, given the shortages to be June, July, August, whenever. Also....keep your preorder. If history repeats itself....the US release will be in some Godawful color...like silver or black. Look back at all the colors for the GameBoys and the initial DS colors (excluding the cool special bundle packages)The chances of it being the fantastic white, cool navy blue, or unique light blue is next to none. If you have waited this long to get a cool colored DS Lite imported...keep waiting a little longer.
Mark my words...you'll see that you will be glad you did.

Anyone else notice that the official site just moved the release of NSMB back to May 15th? Hmmm.....

Ummm, I would prefer black, so I hope they do release some "Godawful" colors over here HunterF1. Since when is black not cool by the way? Better tell Apple, they must have missed your memo, because I was in the Apple store today and they were selling Nanos in "Godawful" black too!

Anyone know of a good brick and mortar retailer in Hong Kong? My colleague is going over there tomorrow and I was hoping I could direct her to a location to pick up a DS Lite for me.
