Nintendo unveiled the DS Lite system on June 11, 2006. It offers a Wi-Fi connection and two LCD screens that can be controlled with a stylus or fingertip.
 
Typical costs:
  • The Nintendo DS Lites hand-held console retails for $130. Although the game systems come in three colors - Onyx Black, Polar White and Coral Pink.
  • ToysRUs.com carries all three colors. According to a ToysRUs.com salesperson, the units sell out almost as soon as they arrive, particularly in black, so it's a good idea to check regularly.
  • Walmart.com packages the consoles with other Nintendo DS Lite accessories for a price of $199.28. In the bundles, customers are sold the console with a choice of one accessory and two games, or a starter kit and two games. The price is nearly the same as buying the items separately. Color selection may be limited.
  • Both new and used Nintendo DS Lites are being sold through Amazon.com. New consoles cost $158-160. Used systems run $129-$170, depending on condition and any games or accessories included. Tip: Check out the rating on a seller. Amazon tracks feedback from prior customers.
