DS Lite street date broken

From CAGwiki

On May 30, 2006, CAG moderator Trakan reported that his local Target was selling DS Lites, breaking the street date of June 11, 2006 by nearly two weeks. Here's Trakan's report:

So I walk into Target today looking to pick up the Riddick Trilogy and what do I see? A shitload of DS MotherShaq-FuingLites in the case. I wonder if they're just empty boxes at first, but if they were real, I didn't want to alert the cashier that she shouldn't be selling them this early. So I ask if I can buy one. Sure, enough, they are selling them early. I'd scan the receipt for further proof, but it just says 'Nintendo DS' - no indication of it being the Lite.

Appearances in the media

After the news of the DS Lite being on sale broke, numerous video game news outlets covered the story, most of which gave Cheap Ass Gamer credit as the source.
