Apparently their source told them the Lite would hit Europe one week before New Super Mario Bros, which is due at the end of June. This would make June 23 the release date for the Lite. They also say it will cost 150 Euros (about £100) and that only the white model will be available at launch, as is the case for other western territories. The price seems a bit high - it's a full 50% premium over the US price and 25% over the Australian price, but we'll have to wait and see if it's true.
Finally, Puissance-Nintendo has acquired some Nintendo of Europe's marketing material for the DS Lite's launch, and as well as some 'glamour shots' of the machine itself, there's quite a few 'lifestyle' images of scantily clad models (both male and female) playing their stylish DS Lites. We've uploaded the images to this article's media panel for your viewing (or maybe laughing) pleasure.
