Sure, we've seen the two
new colors Japanese consumers are getting their hands on, however a third and more appealing (to us, anyway) color has emerged from the ashes of
E3. A red and black DS, which is red on the top clamshell piece and black throughout the remainder of the handheld, is only to be included in special bundles along with Nintendo's upcoming sequel
Brain Age 2.
In checking around the internet, we found a bundle of the new color is already being made available to Canadian folks via retailer Future Shop, where they can pick up the new DS Lite, along with
Brain Age 2, for a cool $159.99 (or $152.67 USD). The bundle even comes with a carrying case, which we're not sure is to be included in other bundles, as well.

This color actually made me consider buying another DS even though I already have one and it's working fine. It's beautiful.

Hmm...this is what I've been waiting for. I already have the limited edition Mario-Kart red DS-Phat and I saw no reason to downgrade to a Lite in any of the existing boring colors.

That might be my DSLite then, since I was hoping on buying BA2 AND a DSLite.

Oh snap!!! This was the DS Lite I commented on two weeks ago over here:
http://www.dsfanboy.com/2007/07/04/the-ds-life-leg-show/
Nobody replied though. I couldn't believe no one else saw it. If that indeed is the DSLite in question, then that means Japan should also have it available. That color scheme trumps onyx IMO.
P.S. - I guess those "DS Life" posts were good for something. jk

Wow, that looks sweet!
If that comes to the US, I should really consider upgrading my original DS.

"[a new] color has emerged from the ashes of E3. A red and black DS"
perhaps the color is representing just that - the ashes and embers of E3?
:P

Where did this info come from. Went to FutureShop no such bundle they know of. There Internet site does not mention anything of this either. Wish it was true. But seems were no different than the U.S. same colors, white, black or pink Only. Someone please tell me where it is mentioned anywhere that Canada is getting this Red/Black version. I don't think so.

GameStop (in the US) is taking pre-orders on it, both in-store and online.

PapaDennis: the item was on the Futureshop site at the time of posting. I totally saw it. That's where the picture came from. I guess they weren't supposed to reveal it yet, and they took it down. :/
Lopresto: The DS Life is also good for reading, and enjoying.
