funny people are bashing the red and black, yet that one was what got me to ask for a Lite to replace my DS Fat. I think the colors go together amazingly in person especially with the flat finish of the black.

Why can't awesome DS versions like that come out in New Zealand and Australia and suchlike? Its.... painful. I want something that looks cool, but I can't really afford to import one. Luckily, my DS Lite's right hinge broke, so I have a excuse to buy myself a 3rd party case.

@Mr. Fap☆Fap!: There are many, many benefits to having a Lite and a Phat. I opted not to trade in my Phat when I got my Lite, and it was glorious. then I lost the Lite. then I felt very sad. then I traded the Phat in, for I no longer deserved to have two, for another Lite.
I lost that one, too.
Keep your old DS.

I dont think its half bad. My little cousins already demanding. Blue seels well with little kids, especially boys.

anyways.. I think its swell :D I mean, why not? I dont see why everyones whining and shaking the finger at Nintendo. The more options the better i alwasy say. i mean they've been doing it since the N64 so its not like this is a shock, and hey, its been bringing them nothing but good fortune so..

Good job!

Plus At least it looks like they put some effort into it *cough* RED PS2 *cough*

MR. FAP☆FAP! — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 21:50:30 MST

I just bought a DS Phat, but I'm contemplating selling it on eBay to buy a Lite for el cheapo.
I'm all financially and stuff like that.

On the other hand, it's fast become my favorite system since the SNES and the thought of not having it for even a few days is painful.
That blue one sure is tempting, though...

I might be tempted to get the Cobalt Blue. I have a original DS (non-lite), so I want to get a newer ones since they are brighter and smaller. Might get ready to sell my DS for cheap to someone to upgrade.

Fierfaerie — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 19:03:10 MST

@ViridianGames: there was also a lime-and-orange GBA SP. I believe it was an exclusive Toy's R Us model.

Going into Japanese systems, if you look through the Play-Asia website at old discontinued models of GBA SP's, there was actually a pretty nice looking emerald green one..."Rayquaza green", apparently, as well as a Pearl Green, and a Venusaur green...alright, going to stop looking and listing now.

I feel your pain though! A green one would be SO awesome. Green or orange, as I already said.

I am thinking of trading in my Onyx for a white, cause I clean it over and over and it still smudges and gets scratches + it would go with the White PSP, Wii (hopefully White PS3) trend I got going.

I was thinking white, but if this came out as just dark blue...

Fierfaerie — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 16:47:19 MST

I am a sucker for CE's, and had loudly proclaimed to anyone that if a Zelda DS ever came out I would buy it. It came out, and even though it wasn't as cool looking in person as it was in my head, I bought it. It's grown on me, but I kinda wish I had picked up the Nintendogs one before it disappeared from stores...still conflicted on that one.

While this blue one is pretty, I would rather have an orange one or an apple-green one. This is something I would get for the boyfriend....ironically, since the navy blue was my original color choice for the lites in Japan.

@winterfruits:

That's exactly the problem I'm talking about. If you google it you'll find others saying the same thing. Again it isn't noticeable really until you compare it to an older one and see the difference. I had actually sold my onyx to buy the crimson but I couldn't stand the viewing angles or the yellowish tint so I returned it and bought an Onyx which is perfectly fine.

I fear all new DS's will have these LCD's in them.

Are the LCDs on the new DSes really inferior? I got a Crimson/Onyx DS about a month ago and compared to my mother's DS Lite (it's a white one) I have noticed that the colors on mine are a little off. The bottom screen seems more yellow than hers unless I hold it at an unnatural angle and then when I do that the top screen is too dark. It's not actually a big deal but I've been wondering.

@Sinnbox:

The Crimson had poorer viewing angles, and white backgrounds had a yellowish tint when moving it back and forth. I returned by Crimson and got an Onxy. Nintendo got cheaper LCD's in their new DS's.

It's something that you probably won't realize unless you had the older LCD like I did, but there's a huge difference between them. I couldn't stand the poor viewing angles of the new LCD, and that yellowish tint

I hope it does come out. I'm about to buy a DS Lite and this Blue one looks great.

Oh crap - I thought these colours were separate.

Together?! Looks better than red & black, but solid colours always FTW.

The Red & The Black is a good Blue Oyster Cult song - but a poor choice for DS colours.

I dig the idea of a black one. (Piano black?)

Too bad these new DS's have inferior LCD's :(

Seriously get an onyx or white guys, avoid the new DS's.

Sounds good, that dark blue is very nice, but I think I'll just go with the black. Wait isn't there already a black? or is that called "Onyx?"
