Nintendo DS Lite UK Launch Details  by James W at 12:29

Nintendo
The updated slimer, brighter Nintendo DS Lite will get released on 23 June in the UK. The Register are reporting a price of £100 and they will be available in glossy black and apple shiny white.

The company described the DS Lite as a premium product which will be offered alongside the original version. With the current model also retailing for around £100 at the moment, it seems hard the justify the 'premium' tag if Nintendo isn't anticipating a DS price cut or limited availability of the DS Lite.

The new model is lighter and smaller than its predecessor and features an improved display. It plays all existing DS games which, by the DS Lite's launch, will have been joined by Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? and Nintendogs Dalmatian and Friends Edition.

So if the lite has a better screen, slimer design why on earth would anyone buy the old one? sounds like thay have some back stock to shift.

also lite sounds like an cut down version (like core), but as landen said £100 is not bad.
