I think that's a pretty obnoxious, "nintendo can't ever win" argument about the different colored buttons. Seriously, if the final design of the DS had those four buttons in different colors, there would have been complaints that it looks dumb- exactly like what happened when the GC was first being shown. Without copying a system similar to sony's, all you're going to get is multicolored nonesense that really isn't necessary for FOUR buttons. It's still a fairly valid argument that it could be frustrating for some to remember which button is which now that there are two more, but seriously...it's not even comparible to some things. For example, the xbox controller has four different colored buttons, and that makes sense since they're the same shape, etc.- but there's really no excuse when it's a handheld and you're looking half a centimeter to the side of the buttons anyway. Besides, all of nintendo's handhelds have held some sort of two-color scheme that makes sense, with all the controls being the same. It just looks better, among other things. I just for one don't want my DS to look like a gamecube controller.

I have to agree. Although 6 hours isn't horrible by any means (I have awful memories of my game gear...which had a 2 hour battery life on 6 AA's...urgh), I expect the DS to be a lot better, so yeah, I'm more grateful for that. The DS doesn't look like $600 like the PSP might, but it's mighty fine looking to me.

I think it looks really sweet. Should be nice, too- I did all that work a few months ago to convince all my friends that the DS was worth getting, and that was with the old design. This is a no-brainer, now. I can't wait...it just looks so slick that PSP no longer has that big of a lead on the DS in terms of style. That was one of the biggest things to me that came out of E3 (and not just me): the PSP was damn fine looking, especially in comparison. But now, not so much. Awesome.
