Both factors boil down to: you're a girl.

I mean, c'mon, why else would they release a pink DS? Saying it is:

"The perfect accessory to brighten up those dull autumn days" and that it will "find a happy home in the most stylish of bags and is perfect for those on the go".

Colour options = mainly for girls.

Says he who got a color other than white 😛

Blue is simply my favorite color, the only thing I only really own that's white is my iPod; I simply don't like the color white.

I still don't have the money to get one anyway!

Black was only available in the UK when I bought. I just liked to be distinctive. If black had only been available the same time as the US, i.e. soonish, I would not have hesitatted to buy white.

"I just liked to be distinctive"

Yeah and so do I...and blue is my favorite color and I hate white. So meh!

Just paint the white one blue.

Paint it a bunch of blues. No one else will have one like yours.

...Except that that would leave your DS matte and unshiny, unless you were brave enough to pry the clear plastic layer off first.

DS Lite is what I meant. May as well get a Lite if I'm going to get a DS...if the blue one doesn't become available here by Christmas time I'll just get the white one.

yes I have re-thought my options and am waiting till xmas now to get a DS lite.. ✅
Doubt blue will be available over here by then as we're always last to get everything it seems... 😬
I can always buy some ds skins of ebay and make it my own anyways.

I didn't realise the ds was different other than size but after looking into it more I definitely want a ds lite.

not only for the fact that my mates daughter has just got a ds and I want to have the better one evillaugh
but also for the better features too 😄

But blue won't be distinctive by the time it comes out in the US.

Nice try.

Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection service hits 2 million mark

Ellie Gibson 09:05 29/08/2006

More than 70 million game sessions now logged

Nintendo has announced the latest figures for its Wi-Fi Connection service, revealing that 2 million players have now used it to play DS games online.

The service was launched in November 2005, and since then more than 70 million game sessions have been logged. The most popular online titles include Mario Kart DS, Animal Crossing: Wild World and Metroid Prime Hunters.

Nintendo expects the figures to receive a further boost with the release of games like Star Fox Command, which goes on sale in the US this week and features a four-player online mode.

"Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection continues to set the standard for easy, fun and safe wireless gaming," said Nintendo of America exec George Harrison.

"Our handheld leadership will continue unabated with the launch of Star Fox Command and the anticipation of our upcoming Wi-Fi titles."

Update: Lana still hasn't got a DS.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

😛 To bad, It really ROX!! 🤘

Better get one, lest you are prepared to deal with this for the next few months while waiting for the phantom blue DS that may never exist in the states.

Pffft, when it comes to Ush pestering me, this is nothing.

I'll have one by Christmas.

Besides which, today it turned to a choice between getting one in the next month, or going to the Tool concert in a week and a half. Take a guess what won.

The DS Lite?

Not quite 😛

Then you made the wrong choice.

You got yout Tool tickets?
Sweet...
(Still saw dave, and possibly seeing Opeth and PT.)

Not like I'd be able to afford a DS anytime soon anyway. I really can't afford the concert either, but ehh, no chance I'm passing that up.
