Looks very sexy, clean and white! I am going to get one and pet it.

I sold my old DS, it was silver, dirty, and fat.

I lost my old DS

I have to use my brothers now =\

Anyway, this looks pretty awesome. Although, I'm perfectly fine using the regular DS. It's not that big of a change for me to buy it, though

i'm fine with the original ds also...its just completely the same. if it had some features, then maybe yea. but not it'd be redundant to buy one if you already have one. i'd bet though the price on it should be around the same of the original ds because no real change in it except for the size,weight, and color.

its like how they made the gameboy advance to the gambay advance sp system. it has the same function and plays gba games with the exception it being way smaller like pocket size, a rechargeable adapter, and background light. the regular gameboy advance has kinda bulky and you can attach it to have the functions as the sp does.
sp is more portable since its smaller and lighter.

I think the DS would look really cool in black. But no, just white, light blue, and purple are the only choices.

Don't count on that there will be just them, maybe on the release, but not for long.
