DS Lite - First look!

[Kotatsu Neko]

Yeah, the screens are pretty much indestructible. Hours of Ouendan's spinning wheels and it's still as good as new. The shiny outer shell is also very tough - the contrast there to the incredibly easy to scratch shiny iPod surfaces couldn't be more extreme.

Bah, having looked at that pic I don't know which oen to buy now, and from where.

[megatron]

Are there any side by side photos of a black and white ds lite?

[Rep]

Having seen and held them both side by side i definately prefer the white. The black is really nice when closed but seems a bit bland when opened up. That's just me though, glad i ordered white.

It's a shame that neither Phoenix Wright or Trauma Center appear to be part of the offer. I'm going to go for a Black Lite to go with my JP White one, as I sold my old DS on eBay yesterday for a tidy sum.

The Black DS Lite, in the flesh.

Man, that Black DSL looks sweet as. I bet it looks even better in the flesh. The box art looks cool as well, nice minimal design.

Absolutely spot on. Compared the two in the flesh side by side today, and the black opened up looked bland and plasticy. Not so with the white one. Definately getting a white one now

That's true, but a shiny black inside would have been finger print central.

I like them both, but I feeling pretty happy with my JP white model. Best looking handheld around in my opinion.

I seriously don't understand this fixation with fingerprints. Seriously it's bizarre.

Anyway, glad I've got a black on pre-order those shots of it made me smile.

Is the white one glossy inside? I'm truly torn between the two.

Nope. All DS Lites are matte inside.

The fixation is it makes the unit look grubby \ dirty, you spend more time cleaning the fingerprints off much like the black PSP.

[yesteryeargames]

has anyones order been shipped yet, im order mine from gameseek and ive had no news yet?

[SUMIRE]

Lol, I just got mine and its got 3 dead pixles...joy.

I had 3 old DS's before I got one without a dead pixel.

Couldn't give a stuff personally, thats what shirt sleeves are for.

True, it just defeats the point of that lovely looking shiny shell if it looks nasty cause of the fingerprints.
