Where's the gold Zelda edition option? :p
jsutcliffe @ Feb 15th 2008 5:14PM
Aye, that's the one I have. It's fugly, but I'm a cheapskate and it was cheaper than buying a prettier DS (red/black is my favourite western colour) and Zelda. ;)

I've got Onyx nad it's awesome. People complain about fingerprints, but I just don't touch the front very much so it's all good.

I always drool over the ice blue. I own the white but have gotten tired of how plain it is. If Nintendo released the ice blue stateside, I'd buy it. A bright green would be highly desirable as well.
Joe @ Feb 15th 2008 5:36PM
I really want a solid crimson one. Until then -- my phat does me just fine.
Tom @ Feb 15th 2008 5:40PM
The new Cobalt one looks dope!
mauroh @ Feb 15th 2008 5:40PM
Yeah I was kinda getting used to owning funky colored handhelds [dark green GBC and purple GBA]... but I really love my grown-up-onyx DS!!
mauroh @ Feb 15th 2008 5:41PM
And I agree that a whole crimson would rule them all!!
manaman @ Feb 15th 2008 5:47PM
There's nothing cleaner and better looking than white electronics--polar white lite for me, all the way!
NeverSage @ Feb 15th 2008 5:47PM
I'm rocking the white one. It does its job admirably.
coffee @ Feb 15th 2008 5:49PM
I like my Zelda edition (gold color)
nillaP @ Feb 15th 2008 5:51PM
adding to the all crimson, they should make an all cobalt and have an orange and black ds
Tristan @ Feb 15th 2008 5:52PM
I traded the white one in for a Cobalt Blue and black one, it so sleek and hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matt @ Feb 15th 2008 5:56PM
I've just got a white one. I bought it off a friend that decided, for whatever reason, he didn't want it anymore. Tard.
Kam @ Feb 15th 2008 6:39PM
I love the enamel navy! yummy!
Kam @ Feb 15th 2008 6:40PM
Oh, but I own the crimson/black. (Too bad the cobalt/black wasn't arond when I purchased my ds).
LeChuck @ Feb 15th 2008 6:50PM
I have an onyx but only until I can get a cobalt. Runner up goes to silver.
Matdredalia @ Feb 15th 2008 7:20PM
I really, really love my Onyx, but the Gold Zelda edition is just too amazing for words. So, my vote goes to the Gold Zelda edition.
However, I would do terrible, evil things to see an Atomic Purple (think N64, people) DS Lite.
maryland157 @ Feb 15th 2008 7:20PM
Wow , thats a lot of DS's!
Myth @ Feb 15th 2008 8:03PM
I play my DS Onyx only because they haven't released a darker color.
Katie @ Feb 15th 2008 9:31PM
I do like my white, because I've got a really cool skin on it, with clouds and colorful stripes. But if I replaced it, I like silver, or maybe the onyx...
But honestly, if there was a great deal on it, I'd take pretty much any color.
Mr Khan @ Feb 15th 2008 9:34PM
Still with my launch Phat
but the Lite's better battery life would be advantageous for the forthcoming Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword and Dragon Quest IX
Possibly Days of Ruin, too, although Radiant Dawn has made me kinda burnt out on strategy right now.
Pizza Pasta @ Feb 15th 2008 9:40PM
I love my ice blue and my onyx but I had to vote for enamel navy.
Mikale @ Feb 15th 2008 10:22PM
I'm with the other lovers of the Gold DS. I love it.
JfreshInEffect @ Feb 15th 2008 10:27PM
I own a polar white. But the silver is what gets me going. It matches my Powerbook and iPod.
yanya @ Feb 15th 2008 11:40PM
Where's the Yellow Pikachu option?
... anyway, I have:
Crimson and Black DS Lite
Metallic Rose DS Lite
Yellow Pikachu DS Lite
Demento @ Feb 16th 2008 1:08AM
I always liked the classic white, other than it getting dirty, it just looks the best. I Colbalt is definitely a runner up however.
Lupe @ Feb 16th 2008 5:20AM
heyyyyyyyyy!!! Where is the crimson and black dragon ds!! That one is simply awesome in the flesh! Since I can't get it I have to say I love the gold ds lite. I love the color but its the triforce that gets to me :)
joedom @ Feb 16th 2008 9:38AM
How about a red Spider-man option? Even though Spidey games haven't been all that great on the DS
bryanc28 @ Feb 16th 2008 10:24AM
Hey, I really like my Coral Pink DS Lite (no fingerprints/smudges or dirt in the seams) that I won last November in my office raffle. However, I just ordered an import Gloss Silver DS Lite last week and it should be here any day now! I had a hard time deciding between that one and the Ice Blue DS Lite, but I think I made the correct choice...
Matt Iserman @ Feb 16th 2008 10:59AM
I have black but prefer the red-black DS Lite.
Eleniel @ Feb 16th 2008 11:07AM
I love my crimson baby, but the cobalt is just so pretty.
ninjaluke @ Feb 16th 2008 11:10AM
I have the Gold Zelda edition. I also had the original white but I gave it to my girlfriend when I got my Zelda one.
lovelain @ Feb 16th 2008 1:24PM
my coral pink is just right for me, too bad i didn't think they were gonna release it in the states, so i imported one. :(
ArmorForVictor @ Feb 16th 2008 7:23PM
i have a silver phat and a white ds lite. really like the new blue cobalt color or the zelda one.
MidnightScott @ Feb 17th 2008 12:19AM
I have a Pokemon Dialga & Palkia Edition and I dont just like plain black, so I chose Enamel Navy =D
kronik @ Feb 18th 2008 5:31AM
I've got a white lite myself but went through quite a bit of stress to get my girl the perfect DS lite (since she was hogging mine ever since I lent it to her when she went on holiday).
First I was just browsing to see what colours were available, and on the amazon.jp site, the pink version (royal pink i think it's called) looks so much pink-er than our coral version, so I set out to get it, eventually getting it from ebay (amazon.jp would not ship electronics to europe). Only upon arrival did i discover that it's exactly the same shade of pink.... However, luck was on my side as first: I won a trip to Tokyo! (hurray!) and second: a colleague of mine wanted me to bring him a DS for his daughter, and didn't really mind what colour, he just wanted it from japan cause they're cheaper over there! So I got the slick metallic pink over there for my girlfriend, and gave my colleague the royal pink one I got off of ebay! (at japanese retail price) So he was happy he had a cheap DS, and I didn't think twice about the price I paid once I got the sleek metallic rose for my honey, who absolutely LOVES it!
And I should mention, I'm a bit envious of her. The metallic pink's finish makes it look like a more expensive device, doesn't leave smudges and she loves the fact that it's so exclusive ^^
The metallic colours really do look A LOT better imho! (I know what I'll be getting should my white suffer a painful death)
Mike_NJ @ Feb 18th 2008 9:41AM
I purchased the Polar White on the day of release.
I loved that machine. Hardy, shiny, easy to keep clean. The only thing that would show up on its finish was actual dirt.
Then it got stolen, and I replaced it with an Onyx. The Onyx has as crisp a screen as the PW, however, even fingerprints look like a horrible dirty thing on its finish. I find myself blowing dust off it on a regular basis as well as wiping it incessantly with a small square of silk to try to keep it "sightly".
I miss my PW.
Blake @ Feb 18th 2008 6:53PM
I have a white one, I would love to see a nice silver one come to N.A.
Morose @ Feb 20th 2008 9:11AM
I use a polar white, and haven't really been impressed enough by other colors to buy another DS.
xCuteBunnyx @ Feb 22nd 2008 9:06PM
coral pink : )!
I like the lightness, smoothness and the way it looks.
I dont really like the black or white one.
I wanna see the metallic rose one though.
