Just as soon as we stopped worrying about the $100,000 BMW M3 Coupe, we find that an individual is offering two of the three ZR1s he ordered for himself up for a mere $350,000 each.

i'm still waiting for an all matte-black version... so fingerprints become a non-issue (plus I like the non-slick feel of the bottom of these 2-tone units)

If they issue an Nintendo R4 card with it, it would sell BIG...

Very attractive, but I'll stick with my solid one color thanks (Golden Triforce Zelda Pack-in). This would be nice to get for multiplayer stuff though if I need it.

My first Crimson&Black had two stuck pixels but the repacement as been fine for the last 4mos now. I absolutely love it but if this one was out last year I'd have a tough time choosing between the two.

Awesome if the tax rebates had the face of

A power switch? As opposed to the slidey power thing?

Excellent. Maybe I'll finally be able to pick up one for my birthday. I can't believe I've gone this long without a DS.

Though that crimson/black one looked good, too...

Hmm...red or blue...

Curse you, Nintendo! Making me choose between the two!

As awesome as this cobalt DS looks, do I really care if Nintendo takes a black DS Lite, and straps a blue lid on it? Meh.

Let me know when they have another form factor for me to drool over and eventually buy.

I have one of the new Zelda ones and the screen is just fine. I think it was just the Crimson and Black that had screen problems, not all new models.

Jacktherip — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 10:20:19 MST

This looks a lot nicer then the red one, man now I have to go out and get another one. Or at least come up with an excuse that makes sense for me to be satisfied with buying this one. Oh god I'm a consumer whore.

@machete_bear:

I also don't like the cobbled together look of the two-tone. I still prefer the fingerprint hiding white, and actually my wife's metallic rose is pretty cool.

altgod — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 09:39:16 MST

I would choose this if I didn't own a black. What would really make me go out and buy this would be the inclusion of a light adjuster switch. The fucking SP had one. I don't know why Nintendo couldn't include it on the DS.

@geekgrrl: My thoughts exactly, but I've already spent my tax return so I guess I'm counting on that bill for my DS, but I still can't decide if I want a red DS, or this new blue one.

On another note, am I the only one who thinks this economic stimulus package seems a lot like a certain episode of Futurama?

Will this be the nudge I need to finally buy a DS? Probably not since I don't seem to have a crimson/black one around here, and that thing is the dog's bollocks. I do really this one though.

The screen on my crimson/black DS is fine. I have heard problems from other owners but my Japanese one is tip top.

Can't wait for this cobalt blue one, I will add it to my collection of DS Lites :)

I too think these two tones don't look that great. I'd prefer all one color of red or blue like the GBA lines.

@machete_bear: Ugly horse vomit is diff than pretty horse vomit? Not a vomit expert here, but I can tell you that Taco Bell vomit is way worse than say...a chicken and mashed potato vomit.

I'm not particulary fond of the two tone units, isn't it just the outer top shell that's another colour? At least the colours so far have been pleasing ones. Imagine baby shit green and clockwork orange on a DS.
