    Nintendo DSi colors

    Anyone know if there's been any word on better colors coming out for DSi, yet? All they have so far are black, white, pink and powder blue. I'd been thinking about getting one, but I want to wait until they have something better than matte pastels. Hoping they make a glossy crimson or cobalt blue like with the DS Lite.

    Supposedly they're making a "big" DS, now, too.

    No new colors added. The last 2, pink and white were to broaden their market appeal. They are still waying options on realeaseing the DS LL to the states ( the big one). They are unsure if their is a market for it, and honestly as a GS Manager I can tell you there is just as much appeal and request for that as there is for the PSP Go.

    If you want alternative colors you can look into the Japanese ones. The games are not region locked, you just wont be able to download DSi ware games. (Unless you hack it)

    Will there be more colors? Im sure there will be. Also keep in mind, if you don't care about the warranty... you can color it yourself.

    I just got a cobalt blue ds lite myself, if they had a DSi in that color I might have considered it instead.

    I prefer the matte as well cuz I don't have to keep rubbing the outside of the DS on my shirt to get fingerprints off.

    Matte I can handle, just so long as the color is more manly than pink or baby powder blue. I'll just wait until they come out with a non-pastel DSi.
