Wow, this thing is a looker. And honestly, I've been looking for an alternative. I've caught a lot of sh*t carrying around my Japanese launch-day Ice Blue DS Lite. I remember an old lady saying, "Honey, isn't that a bit girly for a guy?"
Nintendo sends us news of a new, delicious looking, two-toned DS Lite, coming bundled with Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day for $149.99. It is scheduled to hit shelves on August 21st.
As far as the new DS goes, the top half is a glossy Crimson red, while the bottom half is matte black (Nintendo is calling it Onyx). Think back: there was another game system with a similar color scheme.
Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day is the sequel to the original, which moved 8.61 million copies worldwide. This sequel has been out in Japan for awhile, and it has already sold over 5 million units.
It's probably safe to say that Nintendo will move a lot of these bundles this holiday.

Seems weird.
Blue.
Bah- loo
BLUE.
BUH LOO
Dammit! *beep
Oh, almost forgot, the black DS Lite owns that red turn. Anybody remember the red AIDS RAZRs?
I lost my license because I lost my vision due to playing it so much. Now I don't drive.
I type in braille now.
And I can smell your fear.
Yes, and other than the fact that it was a RAZR phone I wanted one. I'd take a fully RED DS too.
Some people like red.
Hey, some people like AIDS (House episode). Enjoy it.
It's just that, well, does this really need a sequel? I have Brain Age, and although it's sold more copies than Halo (Fine by me), it's not a game, and it shouldn't represent the DS.
Wanna know which game represents the DS? I'll give you a hint: My Username and Avatar.
*taps foot impatiently waiting for green ds*
Agreed...green and black would be the sex!

Get it in black, disassemble your DS, spray the shell, reassemble your DS and viola, you saved $150!
Yep, that's the beast.

@Solesurviv0r - Would you like it in blue or classic Gameboy pocket clear?
