Seems like they're going with the $1 -> Y100 route.

I guess I should say also, I like it. Admittedly it's not blow-your-socks-off amazing but it neednt be really. Better dpad, smaller, lighter, brighter screens and the controls (possibly) closer to the centre of gravity (more comfortable). All good in my book.

It's been out for a year and 2 months. Most people would upgrade their mobile a couple of times in the same period given half a chance. Car tweak modifications happen every year in response to customer feedback. Motorbikes take huge leaps forward each year. MP3 players change every few minutes. Trainers get upgraded yearly.

I wonder if will have a better wifi reception?

Gah! I didn't even think of friends codes. That's a bit pox. It's a shame they don't have one central register so your code is your own.

Bah, its only been out five minutes and they are changing it, typical Nintendo. Their design team must suck or they have a very clever marketing team :P

Technology moves on and nobody forces you to buy the upgrades.

I'd much sooner companies gave us regular updates instead of sticking with outdated tech for years on end.

I like it, never bought a DS so I may just get this when it comes out.

[Ginger Tosser]

Pre-ordered already (and i'll keep this pre-order)

I certainly wouldn't mind if they brought out a smaller version each year until we have a super light wafer thin one

Im in the same boat here.... although i have started picking up DS games i want (even though i dont own one yet )

Looks nice, but not upgrade-worthy.

Bit of an odd place for the microphone - in the middle of the unit!

Doesn't that mean you'll get spittle all over the screens when you're dusting for prints in Phoenix Wright?

[kernow]

just noticed the button style and dpad are straight from the revolution remote styling.
