It's been announced that the new DS Lite handheld console will be released in the European territories on 23 June, only two weeks after its release in the US. While this delay may irk some gamers, a fortnight is nothing compared with the six month Sony PSP release debacle.

In the UK, the re-vamped DS will cost £99.99. Joystiq has kindly pointed out that this is £30 less more than the US price and £2 less than the Euro price.

Edit: that's what I meant.
