Stare along with us at the limited-edition red DS Lite
Reader supa_s (somehow) got one of the limited-edition red DS Lites that were only available through a Japan Post sweepstakes. It's a totally different color from the senior version with which we're so familiar: a much brighter and less sparkly red than the Crimson and Black. Like DS Lites tend to be, it's lovely. The prize also came with a matching black/red Hori System Bag, which we would put the system in immediately, only removing it in a clean room after careful hand-washing.
A rumor came up recently that a red DS Lite was planned for release in Europe. If that's true, it'll probably be a shade identical to this one, and then more people could have a shot at it (including importers!) While we would do our very best not to buy yet another variation of the exact same system, we'd be happy to gawk at the box in the store.

It's sort of hoochie red. You know what I'm talking about.

It's beautiful. Nice colour... it looks like a candy apple/Ferrari red.

It reminds me of the red GameBoy Pocket from days of yore :(
I remember getting one of those for 10 :D

I love red, but IMOnot worth the $575 (!!) he paid for it.
Though it would have been really nice to have matching red portables. (DS and PSP)
I'm keeping my fingers crossed about that Euro red rumor. Hell, it happened for the red PSP!

Red PSP in Europe? :O
I hope the red ds in europe rumour proves true! Hurray for being Scottish! :D

@Jamie
Sorry, sorry, should have been more clear meant limited edition Japanese colors being re-released in other territories, not Europe specifically.
So far the red PSP package is only coming out in America (you know how utterly stupid Sony of Europe is...) but if you guys get the red DS we'll be even, haha.

Indeed we will :)
but we also know how stupid Nintendo of Europe is too.

I'm assuming this is different from the limited-edition red one Best Buy was offering last year...?

That thing is awesome. I'm not a huge fan of many of the limited edition colors, but this one rocks.

I'd prefer green. ;) Not that it matters, there isn't a snowball's chance in hell I'd buy another for the sake of COLOR.

Am i the only one that doesn't like it? lol.
I think it makes the DS look cheap like plastic...
Doesn't look like it has a nice finish or anything...

No, I don't like it either. I like the Crimson/Black color more. The red on this one looks too bright and tacky.
