Nintendo's "DS Lite" system has attracted a lot of attention for its small form factor and bright screen. Now, the US street price has been announced at $129, a not-unexpected release price considering Nintendo's existing pricing structures.
Nintendo DS Lite comes with a variety of distinctive changes that set it apart from the original — and from all other hand-held video game systems:

* It’s less than two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS and more
than 20 percent lighter.

* Its two bright screens can be adjusted to four levels to adapt to
different lighting conditions and to extend battery power.

* The microphone sits in the center of the unit, and the LED lights are
clearly visible whether the unit is open or closed.

* The stylus is 1 centimeter longer and 1 millimeter thicker than the
stylus of the original, and slides into a side storage slot.

* The Start and Select buttons were repositioned for easier access.

* A removable cover keeps the Game Boy(R) Advance cartridge slot clear
from dust and debris when it’s not in use.

    Woo! I've been waiting on the DS Lite to get one. The current DS's are too large.

    Picked up a DS Lite yesterday. This thing is really sweet. Haha. :)

    I like it so much better than I did my PSP.

    I may have to buy one here in a month or two... I didn't read the article but I am curious about the TV Tuner. Guess I'll have to read the article if they mention it :)
