Just want to make sure (DSLite)
If I buy an imported DS Lite, it has absolutely no drawbacks right? They are region free and still uses AC power. Just making sure...please...someone confirm me on this.

I know they're region free but I'm not sure if the adapters would have different feeds into the system itself or not. If they're the same size, you can buy one or use a GBA AC adapter (as they're the same).

That, of course, assumes that they don't change the adapter size from the first DS.

I just don't have any idea why I should wait. It would only cost me the extra shipping cost, which isn't all that bad. Like an extra 25 bucks.

Yeah, from what I've been told from people who've got it, the plug is the same to jack into a US wall.
Plus, they're only gonna put out white in the states. I'm tempted to order one myself. |

Aside from being 1/3 smaller and the backlight settings, what is the extra benefit over the regular DS?

Smaller, brighter backlight with 3 settings, longer stylus with a longer nib, longer battery life even on maximum brightness.
So it's pretty non-essential if you already have a DS, but it does feature some nice improvements. |

Well nevermind about importing. It comes out in the US in a month for 129.99, but only in white.
That is so worth it though. I'd pay 230 to import it right now. |

You have two other shades of blue in Japan, which came out a week after original release.

One one hand, I love how Nintendo gives you choices with colours. On the other hand, I hate it because I always want a different colour than the one I got. They should just make a black DS.

They should do a paint store dealy where you create the color you want, they blend paints till they get it, you order it and they send it to you.

Also, added battery life and durability = ratings, although I've never had a problem with that so far. I spent an entire day flying last Christmas and spent a good chunk of time playing my DS (inbetween the running from gate to gate and bag checking and whatnot) and it was still in the green when I arrived.

What game were you playing? Advance Wars lasts 4-6 hours, and I shudder to think what playing wireless does to that. Nanostray and a few of the newer games also do this. I think AC:WW is actually battery intensive with or without the WFC, but games like Super Mario 64 and such last for like 14 hours.

I was reading about the DS Lite. Apparently the average playing time on the brightest setting is 5-8 hours.
The things looking mighty awesome though. They have a dark navy blue, but why not a black? Come on. |

Most places are saying 12 hours on brightest.

Stupid only white in North America. I want one when it comes out, but don't want the white one.
Just make a freaking black one right now. Either that or one that looks like the old school NES controller. Black d-pad, red buttons, grey colour. I'd buy it. |

I've pre-ordered my white one at Gamestop. As cool as getting a black one would be...it's not worth importing for the extra dollar.

As nice as a DSL would be, I'm at least waiting for a price drop and a better color. This is also the last time I buy a Nintendo handheld first gen.

I think 130 is terribly reasonable compared to the PSP. But I can understand the color.

I lost my DS 3 days ago in a movie theatre so I need to buy a new one. The original DS was awesome, but the DS Lite sounds awesomer. I'd rather not get a white one, but I don't really have a choice. If I still had my original DS I could wait until the coloured DSes make their way into North America.
Does anyone have any idea or know when the coloured DSes should be in North America? |

I would imagine they may wait a little while. I'm not even sure what colors they are going to bring...considering they are saying that certain countries get exclusive colors.

It should be released on June 11th in Canada. I think it might be the same date in the states too.
The white isn't that bad. I saw a picture of it for an upcoming flyer, and it looks pretty nice. I would just prefer a black one. |
