DS Lite - First look!

[SubparMario]

One redesign down, another five to go?

I think they just like pissing off early adopters.

[Ginger Tosser]

Its what Nokia have been doing for years

I've no problem with redesigns, no-one is forcing anybody to buy one.

[jimmbob]

Hmm tbh its not really all that different is it?

What he said.
The D-Pad looks a little better, but they could have put the dual screens a little closer to each other.

[spagmasterswift]

Nothing there to tempt me to switch tbh.

[Kotatsu Neko]

Not as radical as I hoped but still looks nicer, although it's hard to be sure from a Photoshop mock-up.

I shall be buying.

[Ginger Tosser]

I wonder if they've taken the GBA slot out?

[gizmo1990]

Its nice but a little too close to the look of ipods for my taste. I hate the utter blandness of ipods...

Probably still get one though.

It might look better in my eyes when we see actual photos of it. Hopefully more colours will be available ON release too.

Wonder when it will get a release stateside?

[buster_broon]

i'm gonna get one - looks teh sechsey

i dont know how it will look in silver - but in white its lovely

bit bored of the apple styling to be honest, but hey, it sells

I guess that's why Apple are doing black stuff now. The white thing is pretty, but everyone has ripped it off so much now.

They say immitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

I'll buy a black one if I can. It will match my 5G iPod.

[Rsdio]

Hmm, don't think I'll be bothering. Don't really need mine to be any more portable since I don't tend to take it anywhere and it doesn't look any more comfortable to use.

[Kotatsu Neko]

Not exactly a radical redesign, which is to be expected really. It might just be enough to tip me over the edge and buy one now though.(as long as it still has a gba port)

According to 1UP the GBA port is still there.

[kernow]

agreed I'll be keeping my very used DS until it actually dies, then I'll get this model I think.

I thought a Nintendo console was for life?

[gizmo1990]

Hopefully more colours will be available ON release too.

I'll answer my own question. 1ups reporting that it will be released in Japan in 3 colours.

Do any asian importers check for dead pixels?
