Black. Magic.
As SPOnG reported last week, a massive shipment of DS Lite hardware bound for European shores went missing while in transit in Hong Kong.
Police sources hinted that around £1.26 million in black Lites were nabbed, all of should have been heading to Europe for launch day this Friday. Police are offering a substantial reward for information leading to their recovery.
Nintendo today confirmed this news, stating: "A number of white DS Lite made for the UK market were stolen in Hong Kong. Nintendo is making every effort to ensure that there is enough product available in the UK to meet market demand at launch."
The impact of the theft will not be known until the shop-doors open on Friday, though if you have any problems obtaining your sexy new DS, especially if you pre-ordered the device, get in touch or post in the forum.
