We caught wind of an internal GameStop (http://www.engadget.com/tag/gamestop/) memo this morning announcing the discontinuation ofNintendo's DS Lite (http://www.engadget.com/tag/DSLite/). The memo (pictured above) asks employees to remove displays of Crimson, Black, and Metallic Rose models, once they've burned through their stock -- we've since confirmed the fact with an employee of the gaming chain. Not a huge shocker, of course, given the fact that the five-year-old system has since been eclipsed by 2009's DSi and, more recently, the company's glasses-free 3D portable, the 3DS (http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/19/nintendo-3ds-in-depth-preview-slight-return-video/). We have reached out to Nintendo for comment on the matter and will update this post with official word once received.
