    Default Redesign of the DS tba on Monday (rumor)

    Many sites online have the rumor that Nintendo will announce a redesign of the DS on monday. Also included in that rumor is that the second screen will pop up from back with the push of a button. Just an intresting little piece of info.

    If anything they'll just make it sleeker and more inline with the Revolution controller. I expect a slim white clamshell DS.

    I can't wait to see it if this is true. I'm thinking of buying a DS in the near future and this sounds like perfect timing.
    These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

    Absolutely perfect timing!!! I'm going to wait and see what comes of this before I finally go out and get one.

    Seems possible, seeing how the GBA went through 3 different styles in just a few years.

    I've been thinking about buying a DS recently as well, so I hope they do redesign it.

    I'd be happy if they would just stick the brighter, backlit screen into the DS.

    Milking...... not surprised if this is true, It's kinda more expected. Kinda of an annoying though. If I would have known this to be true earlier, I would have waited to get one. I can see a Pickachu design one being made right now...

    Those are some nice fakes. The top one is obviously modelled after the Revolution controller.

    I am very curious to see what this redesign looks like, if it is indeed more than a rumor.

    I don't think this one will happen because of the game Memory Trace. There's a part where you have to fold your DS.

    I assume you'd just twist the screen sideways into sleep/media player mode.

    Some of those designs look awesome, let's hope Nintendo has the same idea as some of those people.
