This news came out when the server first went down, so there's no reason not to get caught up. Nintendo has officially set the release date for the DS Lite in the US! Here's the scoop from 1UP (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3150292).
Contrary to most speculation, the Lite won't be arriving hand-in-hand with the highly-anticipated New Super Mario Bros.. Where Mario's latest adventure streets less than two weeks, the Lite's slated to hit the stores June 11. Furthermore, the tantalizingly sleek Enamel Navy color scheme won't be shipping then, nor will the widely reviled light blue version. Rather, the first batch of Lites will consist entirely of the Polar White model.
Perhaps the best news about the Lite is that it will launch at $129.
Finally, we can get our hands on the DS Lite without having to import it with high prices. Pricing the DS Lite at $129 and not $149 is awesome and probably the deciding factor in me replacing my current DS right away
