    If you haven't heard of these, shame on you!

    I never actually bought an origional DS (too ugly xP) but these I'm definetly going to get. 'Course, the colours currently availiable in the UK/US (white and black) aren't exactly brilliant, so I'll probably wait for/import the Ice Blue, Noble Pink or Navy versions currently being sold in Japan.

    What are your views on the redesign? Much needed or completely nessecery?
     
    It's much needed. That's the whole reason of the new DS Lite because of the issues from the original Nintendo DS. The POWER button is now placed on the side of the DS because it would cause users to accidently shut down their DS during game play, causing them to lose data. The START & SELECT buttons are now placed below the XYAB buttons, but I've heard that they're a little hard to press. The MIC that was once placed at the bottom of the system a little to the left is now in the center of the entire DS for easy use. The layout is changed so that it would fit into the player's hands more comfortably. Also, the stylus is extended so your hand doesn't cramp up. ;P

    And yes, I do plan on having one of these babies, the white one because it's so purdy ... I'll probably purchase one tomorrow is payday is today! *dances*

    I am not bying one beacause I just bought an electric blue one a month ago, and I bought a regular one when they first cam out but then sold it a couple months afterward to get a PSP, so now I have bothe ^^

    But anyway, I don't like the Lite because it is alittle too small.
     
    I'll trade my fat DS in for store credit, and something else to get one...when a Black DS Lite get's released in the US.

    Black = Pimp
     
    That's weird... the black ones are out in the UK. Normally Nintendo releases things here later than in the Americas.
     
    I'll pass. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my current DS, so I'm not going to waste money on a new hyped-up version that is made for people who can't stand a few inconveniences. I mean, who accidentally presses the power button during gameplay? >>;
     
    Actually, I just did about twenty minutes ago; although, the touchscree doesn't work and the left analog is super sensitive / or moves even when I don't touch it. I have such great luck with new systems, lol.

    I'll buy one sooner or later. But it might be after I get the Wii (and games, and controllers) and the PS3 (and games and another controller) and maybe after I get a new TV.
    I SOOOOOOOOOO want a Black one (it'll match my Black Wii).
     
    i saw one of them before, the target closet to my house was using them to play the demo of the NSMB, but anyhow, i already have a regular DS, and i don't have enough money, so maybe if i get enough cash for my birthday, i'll buy one.

    but i'm still not sooo sure,because they are other things i would like to get, so my answer is:

    Maybe
     
    I held out on the original DS just because I knew a redesign was coming in the near future...so yeah.
     
    I'll just stick with my DS for now, although I might be able to buy a Lite and keep it for when my DS breaks or is involved in an unfortunate accident of sorts.
     
    I own a DS Lite.... because I didn't buy one of the original DSs, due to lack of money. Luckily when I got the money for it the Lite was already out...
    and I have to say, the regular DS sorta sucks in comparison... ><;;

    No offense to anyone who has one...but I like the Lite alot better. ^^;
     
    I'm going to get one on my birthday, for I'm probably either going to import one (Ice Blue one or Noble Pink) or I'll just go with the white one.
     
    Haha, my dad got one because he wanted that Brain Age game. It works for me though, he'll get bored of it soon enough and I'll take it when Diamond/Pearl come out in the US. It is a really ugly medium blue which I don't like much, but I don't play it in public so it's not a big deal :P . Normally I wouldn't bother getting one with my own money, hehehe I'm happy about the names of them though pearls are probably my favorite jewlery in the world ;)
     
    The lite is awesome in every way, except the gba-sticking-out thing. It deters me from keeping a GBA game in there all the time, as I did with the normal DS.
