It's pretty tough to be edgy and goth when so many people use you to pretend to pet dogs, but the Onyx DS Lite model has done its best to pull it off. Now, sadly, the black sheep of the DS Lite family is moving on to receive its greater reward, having been discontinued by Nintendo, according to a supposed Gamestop newsletter.

Does that mean those of you who missed out will never own a jet black DS? No, of course not. You can just expect to pay more for one that has a couple of cameras attached.

Me: Dammit I should've bought it when I had the chance. Now I have to stick with the Pink one :(

What do you think?

Are we really whining about a colour of a handheld that we were able to buy for months?

I have a great looking red DSL, and more should buy it instead =P

i am giving my jet black DSLite a hug right now, hopefully the resell price for it will get higher then i can just sell it and buy DSi

Are people that desperate for a CERTAIN colour of a handheld?

It's not like you are left with models with "stereotypical" colours (e.g. pink).

And will no doubt be able to buy for months after this announcement, thanks to the wonder of warehouses!

At our store I know we got a message saying the Onyx has been discontinued so no more at Gamestops after that stock of DS Onyxs are gone.

I have a black DSL. My wife bought it for me for christmas 2006. Good thing DSi comes out, i'll be able to buy the white one i would have wanted.

I agree with these two statements. If anyone wants to buy a black one, they aren't going to disappear overnight. So Kyliedog and Darkhaven, the both of you can still buy it, assuming you really want it.

well, now is your chance to get one then.
stores must still have them, and then theres ebay
