Post by: hyper on January 26, 2006, 12:49:20 AM
I like the nod to Apple.

I think they\'re trying to make it match with the revolution.

It\'s a good design. However, it\'s not that smart to market this thing as "DS lite".

Ppl will possibly perceive this as a \'lower spec\' machine.

That is cooler looking. I\'ll have to resist, though. Got better things to blow money on.

If you don\'t have a DS, though, get one.

Funny thing is when this was rumored, Nintendo kinda denied the redesign was coming, only to say that they\'re always redesigning their hardware in general.

What\'s the difference again? It\'s just white.

^Lol. Design & redesign is often about subtle changes but with marginally large
audience/consumer reactions to it.

If I\'m not mistaken the factual specs
list this version is not bulky like the original DS.

Is everything white a nod to apple?

It\'s lighter by a  few grams.  And it\'s white. The only improvement I\'ve read is that ths screen is brighter than the original DS.

He called it a nod to Apple probably due to the small "DS" logo on the top.

From the looks of it, other changes include a narrower overall dimension and the thing is flatter than the original.

Redesigned to be slimmer and to match the Revolution controller/system.

It looks basically the same to me, except for two of the buttons are lowered.

not mentioning it\'s about half the thickness and much lighter (i\'d imagine)

Exactly the same, but different.

Looks like they hid the power button, too.  The outside of the "hinge" also has a few flashing LED lights on one end. And the mic moved to the center of the unit instead of at the bottom.

I really hate the name DS Lite. It makes it sound like some kind of diet drink.
