DS Lite theft update: Nintendo speaks

DS Lite thefts in Hong Kong confirmed

Reports surfaced last Wednesday that a European shipment of black DS Lites had vanished in Hong Kong. Nintendo is now confirming that "a number of white DS Lites" en route to the UK have indeed been stolen. The Big N did not specify how many units were jacked, but they want to reassure European consumers that there should be enough product to meet the demand for this Friday's launch date.

There is no further information about the Hong Kong police department's US$129,000 reward for information. However, if you happen upon one of said units, please feel free to send it to Joystiq, and we'll, uh, promptly return it to Nintendo. Yeah, that's the ticket.
