The 2586th Pikaash sent us a secret missive via this newfangled "electronic mail" to report that a large shipment of DS Lites in bodacious black has vanished, probably into the Hong Kong black market. Says handheld-hugging blog Play Gadgets:

Looks like the black Nintendo DS Lite is hotter than ever. A container (those large metal structures that carry cargo) full of black Nintendo DS Lite and DS games had gone missing in Hong Kong when it was making its way from China (where the DS Lites are made) to Europe (where the black Lites are launching). The reported loss was $18 million Hong Kong dollars (US$2.32 million).

The Hong Kong police suspected that the black DS Lite units sold in Hong Kong recently were part of some loot and was willing to offer HKD$1 million ($128, 831) to anyone with a tip off or two.

Tensions are high here at the office; we all have our reasons for needing that reward. My saltwater farming dreams can't just fund themselves, and every time I see the tiny can of squids-in-soy I keep on my desk, right next to my wooden thumb, an extra-salty tear oozes out from under my eyepatch.
