New DS Color - Cobalt Blue/Black

[64Bits]

Wonderful. I just found the DS I'll be purchasing.

I would rather have a DSLite in only Cobalt Blue, instead of the two tone look shown in the picture.

I guess I have time to decide though, since I only have my original silver DS(haven't sprung for a DSL yet).

[Julio III]

That Cobalt does indeed look nice. I'd need to see it in real life to see if I prefer it to my Enamel Navy DS lite (which annoyingly, I still believe Nintendo haven't released outside Japan). I'm not too sure about the 2 tone colours either.

Ok I really didn't want to make a new thread for talking a bout the same thing

I am thinking of buying a DSL but I am stuck on wich to buy for rarity. The Crimson/Black(w/ or w/o Brain Age) or Gold Zelda. So which do you think will be more rare? My bet is on the Crimson/Black with Brain Age as a rare box varient.

For the DS Lite there have been a few bundles released here stateside (mounds more in Japan).

Polar (white)
Onyx (black)
Coral (Pink)
Crimson & Black (stand alone system same as Brain Age 2 bundled system)
Zelda Bundle (Gold colored system with the Triforce on the cover)
Nintendogs Bundle (Pink colored system with a Pawprint on the cover)
Brain Age 2 Bundle (Dual colored system Red top,Black bottom)
Pikachu Edition (pokemoncenter.com exclusive, but it was actually selloffs from the Japanese Pokemon Center, Yellow system with Pikachu's head silhouetted on it)

Regular DS had some as well, but I think you were more curious about lite bundles.

Pokemon Centre in the US also had a 'Dialga and Pakia' which I believe was also a Japanese sell-off. Oh, and don't forget the Mariners DS Lite, available at Safeco field.

And then there's this, which sadly has jumped out of my price range by more than a few grand:

I forgot about the Digala and Pakia lites. Those were sold in some wickidly expensive bundles on pokemoncenter.com as well. I had eyed them for myself/katchoo but their prices scared me off.

Do you know of the real availability of the Mariners lite? Could you just go to a game and buy them from some of the higher end merch stores in the park or were they some kind of season ticket holder perk? I've seen some pics and maybe two on ebay, but they were a tad bit much for me especially since they arn't a team or the league that I like.


The only thing about the Orcs & Elves lite is that it looks like theres some gameskins on the top and the internal faces, not that its an actual case art. Basically a one of a kind like the jeweled DS's and stuff.

Is the new cobalt blue unit supposedly hard to find? The reason that I ask is that some guy at my company is selling a brand new one for $180 and I was wondering why the premium price. Then again a couple weeks ago, someone else was trying to sell a new white one for $200 since they are "hard to find".

Just saw stacks of the blue ones at the local Wal-Mart for $130 CDN.

[Damaramu]

Yeah, my local Gamestop had stacks of them too.
