Rumor: DS Lite in Europe on June 23rd

According to news site Puissance Nintendo's anonymous sources, the DS Lite will be releasing in Europe on June 23rd for a price of 149 Euros. Considering that Nintendo Europe has yet to comment on this latest rumor and that the US release of the console is a little under 2 weeks before this proposed date, we're very skeptical, but understand that those of you in the Old World left in the dark are dying for any word of when you'll be able to procure one of those sexy Ds Lites. For those of you who can't read French, try Babel Fish.

[Thanks VoiceofPower!]

2. bl00dy hope not!

I've just impoted Lite and I want it to stay special for as long as poss!

plus I have one stuck blue pixel (cry) and know that I could have taken a UK one with the same problem back to the store... shipping back to HK in barely an option right now so I'll have to put up with it, or flip it to the bay

3. During an interview at the E3 a Nintendo France manager said it will "be this summer". Nintendo Europe wants the stocks to be full before launching the DS lite...

4. When I asked at my local EB Games store about a week ago, they told me the release was previously set to June 9th, but had recently been pushed forward. He checked his computer, and said "Yup, the release date was just updated. It will arrive on June 23rd".

8. I am really a french nintendo fanboy and my remark is also valid for Microsoft and Sony but
129.99 USD = 101.176 EUR
So why do we have to pay 149 EUR (=191.450 USD) for the same system ... Europe is really where video game industry is making $$$ or should I say ??? !
