Rumors surfaced earlier this month that a
cobalt blue DS Lite might be in the works, and now a page at Circuit City has popped up confirming the new model. It's not quite as we expected, however; the new model is blue and black, much like the crimson and black Lite that got our blood boiling last year.
Thoughts on the new color combo? If you're willing to shell out the cash for a new Lite, we want to know. It's a bit darker than we expected, put part of that is surely the reflection of the black backing. Overall, we're pleased.

If my touchscreen gets even less accurate (it won't digitize properly) I may end up getting a new DSL, but I think I'd stick with white, even still.

I swapped my white DS for a Silver :P The mic on the white didn't work, and it had a crack on the hinge and near the GBA slot xD

Not a blue/white combo packaged with a DS port of Ikaruga. Would not buy. (Since I have the black and red one, anyway.)

Kinda looks like the same shade of blue as used for Enamel Navy. I still prefer a 100% blue system to a 50% blue one, though.

My white's been acting up lately (and by that I mean someone spilled water on it), if this looks decent I might grab it! Hopefully it won't have the same screen issues the red-black one did.

I don't have any screen issues with my crimson/black... I don't think it was all of them.

I have a black DS Lite but it's been acting up and luckily I got the Best Buy replacement plan. Now I have to decide what color to replace it with but I think this might be the one I go for. I wanted the navy blue one ever since it came out in Japan but not enough to pay for an import. The silver one's pretty nice too but it doesn't look like we're getting it here.
