Kotaku is reporting, via a GameStop newsletter, that the Onyx DS Lite has been discontinued. Here’s an excerpt from said newsletter regarding the demise of our beloved, dark-colored handheld:
DS Lite Onyx hardware systems have been discontinued and stores will no longer be replenished on this product. Once your store sells through its current stock of this item, please remove any empty DS Onyx display boxes (onyx color only) from the sales floor and discard. Please continue to display the other colors of the DS Lite system display boxes on the sales floor (eye level and above perimeter of DS software section, above the DS accessory section, etc).
This is more than likely a move in preparation for the release of the Black DSi, and coincides with the discontinuation of the White DS Lite, which was replaced by the Silver DS Lite. So many colors, so many DS’s! If you’re a collector of DS’s or are still debating on whether or not to pick up a DS Lite and black is your favorite color (or the lack of color, technically) then head out to stores soon.
