I'm absolutely amazed at how different the colors look on this thing. The screen looks more like a printed image behind a window, rather then a screen. I'm glad I imported it, no regrets. Play-Asia got it here in 4 days! I wish I had the white one though. Mine already has a few visable scratches! I try to clean the thing too much. Any one else got one? Or plans on getting it when it hits the states?

Wasn't going to, but I will be trading in my current version on this, just because it looks awesome.

It is indeed a thing of beauty... Fixed all issues I had with the first DS... Only now I think I am going to get eye cancer from playing it set to its brightest :(

It's a lot nicer looking than the fat DS.
I'll wait for the DS Micro Mini with a retro NES skin.

I've been holding out on getting the DS until there were at least a few games that I really would want on it. That and I figured by that time there will be a better version of the system out anyway.
So as soon as it comes out here (hopefully late May/early June) I've decided it's time to get one.
I'll be getting it for:
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (Zelda is THE reason I own any and every Nintendo system)
New Super Mario Bro.s (No gimmicky water pack, or anything!)
Brain Age (Played a demo of it at Circuit City where I work. 'Tis going to be addicting...)
WarioWare Touched!
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Sonic Rush (anyone play this? any good?)

You obviously haven't seen one in person. Its safe to say that the screens resolutions bring on a completely different gaming experience.

Most stores will offer discounts. EB Games let you trade in your GBA for a SP and only pay $70 I think.

Nintendo said it would be out May 7th, the same date as the New SMB.

That's not even the date of the new SMB. It's constantly switching between May 17th and May 23.
Even then, our Nintendo rep said that if they are planning for a may release, they should have heard about it by now, because Nintendo never releases an announcement so close to the supposed launch date. He said his higher ups told him to expect a large marketing campaign shortly after E3 to promote the hell out of the DS Lite and the wifi network.

The New Super Mario Brothers comes out May 7th now? Wow thats news to me
/sarcasm
Enough of the jerky side of me, the New SMB has been delayed over and over again, from before E3, to after May 17th I think, to May 23. Rumor is thats because they want to launch the DS Lite here. I think we woulda heard something by now.

It's actually May 15th. Last I checked, IGN had it as May 7th. Wikipedia (which has better updates) has it as May 15th.

Um... you do realize wikipedia gets updates from regular lads like you and I, right? Those lads most likely hear the news from places like IGN, or Gamespot. Anyways, no arguing here, heres hoping for the 15th!
Yes we imported.

My point is Wikipedia has the most recent news for video game launches. Obviously someone could go in and put that it's release is 3017 or 1978, but someone always changes it back.

I just recieved mine from Japan today. I'm simply astounded how bright this screen can go. It completely puts my PSP to shame. I stood out in broad daylight and played Metroid Prime Hunters with absolutely no problem seeing anything. I'm also suprised how long the battery for this thing is lasting at the brightest setting. Im up to 10 hours so far, without hitting the red light

Its nice to hear another satisfied customer. I did the same thing today, which is really odd. I was out in day light, and played Metroid with out a prob. Nintendo knows what its doing on the style side of things. Games are picking up as well too. Hopefully more good things are on the way.
