Same with DSi. (for price cut, at least)

About time, considering its price against the Wii.

The yellow one reminds me of a school bus or a taxi. Still, nice colors. I didn't realize the DSi was more expensive than a Wii.

If the price drop actually gets translated to Australia (lol yeah I know I'm dreaming) I might consider upgrading from my Phat DS.

Paulguy's Post configuration
While I like green, I don't really like that particular green, and I'm also not too crazy about the blue, so if I had to pick, I'd pick the yellow, which isn't really bad. I kinda like that "Caution" yellow, with a tinge of orange.

I'm not too interested in the DSi, though, so I won't get one anyway.

The blue XL is really nice. Not a necessity for me, though, since I've already got my DSi.

Honestly, I think the green looks pretty nice.

I want to get a flashcard for my DS Lite still though, so I'm gonna hold off on the Xl

Maybe if the colours were on a regular DSi, or even the 3DS I'd pick those up because I miss my L and R buttons working.

Blue one is nice...

The yellow reminds me of the yellow Pokemon Gameboy.

I had that Gameboy way back in the day. I loved it. I never saw anyone else with one at the Pokémon TCG tournaments we went to. Granted it was only local ones, but still...

The XL is just too big to me. It'd be ok to use at home but it just seems too bulky to be as portable as the regular DSi.

I don't even use my DS Lite enough to upgrade it.

But I do like the teal DSi.... maybe later on, I might pick it up.

But there's no need for the XL for me.

I like my Bronze XL just fine. It's dark enough to be considered Black anyway.

I've got a black DS Lite and the light blue DSi (what's the official color of that? I like to call it “Schala Blue” for some reason =P)... they come in handy for trading Pokémon between my games, etc. =)

Oh wow, very nice. I am really digging that green one. This price cut along with DSTwo being out are the perfect excuse to get a XL now. Owning 2 DS will also make playing pokemon alot more interesting too.

As for me, I still have a DS Lite, the colour of which is the same as the name of this user

I do like that green one though.

I'm kind of considering buying this replacement shell for my DSi.
The navy blue DSi that got away... ;w; (My mom was going to buy me the navy DSi bundle and I'd give her my black DSi, but it didn't work out.)

Well, it'll mean that the DS Lite should also drop price, so I might finally get a DS period.

Of course, as of right now I can only afford one that costs $0.

Oooooh, that green one looks epic. Seriously, it's Mjolnir Armor green. If you don't know, the Mjolnir Armor is the armor used by the Spartan-II's in the Halo series. I love Halo. Not just the games, but the books as well. Hell, instead of naming my laptop "Rasenganfan2-PC" I named it "John-117" which is the name of the Master Chief, who is the protaginast of a few of the books and all of the games, except for Reach. ANYWAY, point is, I love that green. I have the original model DS from the year that the DS came out. I remember just how shocking the 3D was. I mean, I'd never seen 3D graphics on a handheld. It's still amazing, even if the PSP is capable of better graphics.

Speaking of the DS, has anybody noticed just how few developers take advantage of the hardware? Seriously, it's a damn shame. Look at Super Mario 64 DS. It looks amazing. Much better than its N64 counterpart. But oh no, most developers make games that look like shit. Look at the original Naruto Ninja Destiny. Terrible graphics. It seems that only Nintendo can make good 3D graphics on the DS, with the Mario games and Zelda games. Mind you when I'm talking about graphics, I mean 3D graphics. A ton of the 2D games look great.

Or how about touch sensitivity?

I know one homebrew application that actually uses it.



in fact, it was dropped from the DSi because nothing ever used it

shame shame

I really like the green one, I hope the 3DS comes in those colors because I'm not buying a DSi XL I already have a DSi and I'm broke (I still don't even have SMG2!) ...
