DS Lite U.S. street date broken - early Unboxing pics for us! (Update 2)

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Video Games

The news has been all over the net today - some Target and WalMart stores were “breaking the street date” on the Nintendo DS Lite - that is, selling it 11 days before it was officially supposed to be released. My wife is on a secret mission to the local Target today to see if they have any, but in the mean time, Flickr user JPinnix has hooked us up with the Unboxing Ceremony of his early DS Lite:

You can see the rest of the pics of his early treasure (thanks to Target) coming out of the box in his Flickr set “Nintendo DS Lite”.

Thanks for contributing to the Unboxing Flickr group! grin

Update: Seems there were some other Unboxing readers that got lucky today, and scored a DS Lite. Mike “marusin” scored one two, and tells us about it on his blog. Here’s a nice artistic shot of his DS “phat”, DS Lite, and Powerbook:

You can check out the rest of Mike’s photos in this Flickr set. Hey, Mike - what’re ya gonna do with that second one? wink

Update 2: You have to read the dramatic saga that Nick Starr went through to get his DS Lite yesterday. And Unboxing.com figures prominently in the story. It’s like a geek version of the Da Vinci Code or something. grin

I want one soooo badly. I bought a DS “phat” this past weekend for the sole purpose of having one and exchanging it when the lite comes out.

No Targets near me are selling this yet…I will check Sears today.

I just went to Sears and their computer system wouldn’t allow it to be sold.

You’re welcome! smile

They were not sure if they were supposed to be selling them, but couldn’t fnd anything to say otherwise. “Well… I guess I can sell it to you then.”
