Nintendo’s redesigned handheld games console, the DS Lite, will go on sale in the US on 11 June, the company announced today. The new version will retail for $130, and will be available in a single colour: glossy white.
The DS Lite weighs in at 218g, less than the standard DS’ 275g. It’s smaller too: 13.3 x 7.4 x 2.2cm to 14.9 x 8.5 x 2.9cm. The new version offers the same functionality as the current model, including twin displays, one of them touch-sensitive, and Wi-Fi networking.

Surprised it is going to sell for $130. I would have expected them to keep the DS at $130 and sell the Lite for $150.

I expected the lite to be much more expensive. I'll DEFINITELY be picking one up now.
