After reading Nintendo DSi preview, I’m feeling blue

I’m not one of the lucky ones who’s going to be testing the Nintendo DSi, but regardless, after reading a hands-on recap by a trusted colleague-in-arms, I’ve decided to go blue when the portable refresh hits store shelves next month.

I know not everyone is excited about the DSi launch, but for those of you who are, is going blue a giant mistake or what?

  1. Actually, in this case seeing as how as Ice Blue & Onyx Black are gonna be the only 2 DSi colors available for the US DSi launch, I'm going with the Ice Blue DSi all the way! Besides that Jack, as for going for the Ice Blue DSi for you, I say go ahead. People have their own tastes and what not.

  2. Black and Blue are the 2 launch day colors? Is that a reference to what Nintendo is doing to the competition?
    I'm not crazy about the blue myself, so I'll be going with the black.

  3. @Joshdad
    hahaha it probably is a reference, i never thought of that

    Anyway yeah I'm going with black.

  4. I personally think going blue is a big mistake; my brother is going to be doing the same thing and when he said that my response was- WHY???
    I suppose there is nothing wrong with it, if you don't mind being seen all the way from Mas with such a brightly colored hand-held.

  5. I think the blue one is cooler than the black one. I miss the days when color was still fashionable (and now everyone just wants to be black and white), especially in video games. If I upgrade from my DSphat to a DSi, I'm definitely going with blue.

  6. Ok, I know you have all been waiting for my comment. Many of you assuming I would be going for the Blue DSi as that is who I am.

    Alas, I just don't like the look of it. It is too blue; and not a very good shade at that.

    I have a DSLite that is red/black and looks classy. I don't mind opening it on a bus or on my lunch break at work. That all blue though looks too childish. Like I ripped it from my kids hands before leaving home.

    I would not even be buying a new DS if not for my left shoulder button malfunctioning.

    Therefore I, Blue, will be going Black. I have heard that once you've gone black (DSi) you never go back!

  7. I already reserved the black. I wasn't that interested in the blue and still am not.

    Hey, I'm thinking of changing my name to Darc. Whadda ya say?

  8. I kinda want blue… I have a DS that's black and I just thought I'd like a little change in color

  9. that's turqoise in my book

    and it looks awesome. If I was buying it, I'd go for it for sure.

  10. Lite here. Test comment number one, undergoing a Michael Jackson and changing my name to Darc.

    It's me! I once was Lite, but now I may be Darc!!

    Naw. Not feeling it. Switching back to Lite.

  11. So… I'm sticking to the Lite, but I'm getting the black DSi.

    Darc sounds kinda lame. I never should have done that.

  12. My DS Lite is black, so if I were to get a DSi, it would be the blue one… Again, IF I were to get a DSi, which, given my current list of DS games I still have to finish, and the current state of the economy, is not going to happen this year!
