DS Lite Grand Opening

Joystiq went to go see the grand opening of the DS Lite at midnight last night, and got some nifty screens also! 

Wouldn’t you know it, last night instead of going out and getting our social life on, Paul and I cruised over to Rockefeller Center to the Nintendo World Store for the official DS Lite launch event (it being the eve of June 11th and all). We heard people were lining up over 13 hours in advance to get their shiny white DS Lite — though the fact that the first 100 buyers got a free copy of Brain Age and a carrying case surely wasn’t discouraging a crowd. While we were waiting for the NWorld employees to shuffle people in throughout the night, we took a few to cruise around the store and check out all the swag and memorabilia Nintendo had on display — a real trip down memory lane for these jaded old nerds.

The line, as you can tell, was pretty ginormous. We’d estimate about 250 were waiting for their system, if not more. Check out the launch after the break!
