A $2 Million Black DS lite shipment goes "missing"

Jun 15, 2006 2:11AM PDT

Hey guys

According to an article on Revo-Europe.com, a $2 million dollar shipment of black nintendo ds lites heading from hong kong to europe has gone "missing". How it's gone missing is unsure, but local hong kong police believe that the shipment is still somewhere in hong kong and the units might be currently being sold on the streets. The authorities have even created a $125,000 USD reward on any information regarding the incident.

here's the article

now, personally.. seeing how the ds lite sells for about 130 USD each.. that would mean that about, 15,384 units have gone missing. That's about how many units sold in north america in the last 2 days after the june 11th release. Now, how does one "lose" a shipment thattttt.. big? Now, the DS lites have been selling like hot-cakes in japan and china, so how ever has them, are going to be making some sweet sweet profits.

That's all for now
