Unboxed: the new Crimson/Black DS Lite bundle

by GamePro Staff

GamePro just got Nintendo's new DS Lite bundle, which includes the new Crimson/Black DS Lite, a copy of Brain Age 2, and a swanky red and black carrying case. Let the full unboxing pics (and giveaway teasing) begin!

Here it is -- the whole shebang. This puppy will retail for $149 on August 21st.

We have to confess that the "open faced" DS looks a little plain. Sleek, but plain. Crimson-colored buttons (or a d-pad!) would've been a great touch, but it's still easy on the eyes.

And that concludes another entertaining unboxing here on GamePro.com. Check back later this week -- you'll be able to win this bad boy!

I already have a DS and I usually don't like to buy the same system again because of new colors. But I have a good excuse...you see, I still have a DS Phat, so there you go. :D

That looks quite slick. I agree with them that they should have thrown in a bit of colour inside when the DS is open. My black DS Lite is good enough to keep me happy though so I'll pass.

I'm so tempted to buy that off of Amazon with free shipping + no tax I don't own a DS yet. But I really don't need another game console I have too many already, my PSP has too many great games already that I can barely get to. If I were to spend that much money I would rather put it towards a Wii I guess but even that I can't justify.

Yeah, the new DS does look awesome, but I kinda like the White DS Lite a bit better. It gives it that "Ipod" feel. The case does look pretty awesome though.

It looks great. I thought about ordering it but my DS works great. I'm surprised at how sweet the carrying case looks.

It looks alright. I've never been too keen on mixed flashy colours. I'm satisfied with my silver DS phat :P

Yeah, I like the white DS Lite too, but the main problem I had with the white one is how it gets yellowy after awhile no matter how well you take care of it.

So I think for DS Lites, a darker color is the better choice.

It's cool. But still not as cool as the ones you can get from Japan.

That does look pretty darn nice. I'd like a Navy/Black one, though.
