Here's some new info about the DS Lite and junk.
  • Since the May 15th drop-date, New Super Mario Bros. sold at a nonstop rate of roughly one every four seconds nationwide during the reporting period.
  • Even though New Super Mario Bros. was in stores for only 13 days this May, it was the No. 1 game of the month.
  • Since June 11th, a whopping 136,500 DS Lites have been sold. Retailers have been reporting sell-outs.
  • The DS Lite is outpacing the 2003's launch sales of Nintendo's Game Boy Advance SP powerhouse.
  • According to major retailers, sales of Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day tripled over the previous week thanks to the DS Lite.
  • New Super Mario Bros. also got a DS Lite power-up with retailers reporting double the sales.

It's not an extra 30$ just because it's a Black DS, lol. It's because you're importing it from the UK.

You're looking at European VAT (Value Added Tax), which is 17.5% on the price of all sold goods.

Then you have to pay for International Shipping. Then you have to pay Customs, etc.

I think there's only a "DS Classic" in Pink so far. If you saw a Pink DS Lite, then it was probably some kind of custom-made shell.

Don't think you have to worry about another DS for some time. But there will probably be another super amazing one that comes out, but lacks like GBA support or something like they did with the Gameboy Micro. The Lite is definetely worth it though. Just hope you get one without any dead pixels.

I just got the black one yesterday. If I had known it was this good, I wouldn't have waited for black and just gotten white.

it feels heaving than my old DS, but i dunno if its 'cause its imported or not.

the only problem i have with it is the new button layout is taking me a while to remember power and start/select

No one man. All of the console developers copy little ideas like that. We run into trouble (or rather, I get pissed off) when someone like Sony tries to quickly steal a major design feature like motion sensing and try and half-assedly incorporate it into their controller a week before E3.

He didn't abuse it. Dead/Malfunctioning pixels is a very common DS problem
