Nintendo will release the DS Lite in the UK on 23 June, the videogames pioneer said today. The redesigned handheld console will set British buyers back £100. It will cost €150 (£102) in continental Europe, the company added.

Taking a lead from Apple's iPod, Nintendo said the DS Lite will be available at launch in two colours: glossy black and shiny white.

what do you recon mega? Is it worth buying a Xbox 360/PS3 in this busy life or better to go with Nitento as it will exercise you as well?

From what i've read, it was Nintendo who stole the show at E3, rather then Sony or Microsoft. If Nintendo play their cards right, they could become the dominant console maker once again. The PS3 is apparantly going to cost the earth whilst the WII is likely to be priced at $200. This could really play to Nintendo's advantage.

To be honest though, I've been outa touch with the games industry for some time. I lost interest ever since Sega stopped making games consoles (I grew up with Sega Consoles). Mainly for nostalgia, I really hope that Nintendo beats off Sony and especially Microsoft for the dominant console. I can't help but think that Microsoft and Sony are only in it for the money.

They're all in it for the money, so it doesn't make a difference. In the end, they're all companies, who all have shareholders to please with growth.

Nintendo games are limited and locked into the same old card they've been playing for years.
