And holding off was exactly what i did.

The question is, will Nintendo Europe decide to charge exactly the same amount as the DS Full Fat?

According to someoone in the know, the DS Lite is supposed to release in three colors:
white, black & blue(or pink)

and it also releases in Japan on the same day as Children of Mana
I expect DSL to be sold out for te 1st few weeks

also rumored that Tetris DS might be released on the same day as well

It looks very much like it might be too small to be comfortable now. If the superimposed comparison someone did was accurate, then the D-pad looks to be significantly smaller than the existing one, something which I don't agree with at all.

Yes, assuming that comparison is spot on, anyone notice that the d-pad seems to have shrunk on the lite version?

This may have already been said, but the labeling on both the d-pad and the buttons matches the mico almost exactly.  I have a feeling they will be the exact same pieces of hardware.

The cool part is, I love the buttons on the Micro!

Where'd the power button go? On the bottom edge?

Ok this is from some forum

"I played it this morning for the first time after hearing about it officially a few days ago - the picture really doesn't do it justice, the screens are as bright as an AGT Game Boy (eg. even brighter and sharper than a PSP) - it feels much nicer in your hand - and most of all it looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL - it looks sexier than a PSP, and it's significantly smaller than a current DS. The power switch is now a flick-switch on the side and the stylus goes in sideways rather than in the top. Seen two colours so far including the white. White is best. I love my company!!!!"


I'm guessing this is real, though bias impression of the system.

It's really funny how people complain it's to early for a DS redesign yet no complaints went off when Apple announced the iPod Video within a month of the Nano.  I bought a Nano on launch day, and would have really prefered a Video.  

For whatever reason, this actually pleases me.  Having said that, I'm too poor to buy it, as sexy as it may be.

We've been too busy buying GB Micro, GBA SP, GBC, GBC Tommy Hilfiger, and GB Pocket to notice iPods.

Or to have to money to buy an iPod, after investing into Nintendo's products. I don't usually buy a redesign and it will be not different this time around. I suffered with the dark screen of the GBA and played with the Player when I was at home. Then I bought the DS when it came out and I have been happy with my purchase. (Which was a impulse buy.)
Stupidity is lost on my. Then again I'm almost always lost.

Hmmm...it looks like the D-Pad and buttons have changed size, making the DS Lite asymmetrical.  This is a disaster.

I think the weight balancing and the edges of the system will be the most important changes.  The DS has always been a little difficult to hold for long periods of time.  Plus that edge on the bottom half is razor sharp.  Hopefully they've addressed that on the Lite.

I posted this in the other thread, but since other are cross posting, I might as well too...

Who did that mock-up?


It makes me want to puke.....Oh well, it gets the job done.

I could care about what it looks like when opened. I tested out my friends DS and It is very uncomfortable in your pocket. It was also uncomfortable to play for a while with just the stylus (trauma center....I addicted).
