Brain Age 2 Bundle Includes New DS Color!
Oh my gosh, do you see that? Do you see the beauty before you, I mean really see it? That red and black beauty is probably the only reason I woke up today. You see, I am one of those rare people that still have the original DS. Sure, it's blue, but it's about as clunky and tank-like as a small handheld gaming system could ever hope to be. At the last GayGamer gathering here in San Francisco, I was a little embarrassed to pull it out in front of all those boys with their shiny and pretty DS Lites. So I had planned, eventually, to buy the black model, because even though I admire the pink one, I'm just not that kind of boy. Way, WAY too butch for that.
And then this came along. I see now that I was just waiting for it all this time. Sure, it will only be available as a bundle with Brain Age 2 for approximately $150, but that is completely worth it. I'm not sure if I should preorder this at the first available opportunity, or if it will be easy to get considering the most popular holiday gift last season was a DS Lite. I just love how Nintendo describes the new model--it's as if Christopher Lowell snuck into Nintendo HQ just to write it:
The top half of the new Nintendo DS sports a smooth, glossy Crimson, reminiscent of a dangerous shade of lipstick or a cherry-red sports car. The bottom is a matte black — an Onyx yin that complements the Crimson yang.
Well, I'm sold. Don't stare too hard when I whip it out.

That's the best looking DS Lite yet! I'm impressed. I'm actually very proud of my original DS though. My cobalt model has held up very well, and there are some things about the original model that make it more appealing to me than the Lite. For example, the Lite is left comfortable to hold and the GBA cartridges stick out in an annoying fashion.
Still, that is a pretty sexy looking handheld.
yeah, if only they had had red when i was in the market...
as it is, i got my red ds with the mario kart package and couldn't be happier. i agree with mudd - i've played the lite and the thing that bothers me most is the gba sticking out. it's unsightly.
Yup, yup. I'm one of those still with the original bland silver Phat. Ugh! I've been waiting and waiting for a decent color to come out in the states (my GBA SP was also bland silver, and I vowed my next handheld would be a nice bright fun color).
I find the black and white versions bland--and have been eagerly awaiting a nice shiny red (figuring a Mario theme) or bright yellow or green (thinking a Donkey Kong bundle).
While I would prefer non two-toned...I think this bundle has me sold. Too bad it's not released a few days earlier--it would have made a fine birthday present for me! (August 12 for those wanting to send gifts ;) )
That DS is sexy! Maybe it's time to retire my bf's old DS for this one. I already have an onyx... And am officially jealous of this one.
Finally!
I have the Red MarioKart DS and have been waiting for a more interesting color for the Lite.
Umm, that red and black is still nothing compared to my gorgeous "Ice Blue" DS lite!

It looks even better in person. Just like blue cotton candy! I seriously licked it when I took it out of the box... :-D
looks a bit like the metal jacket:
