So finally decided to get one and was thinking about onyx but were out at work no telling when we'll get more in. I get 10% off so really have to buy from work hehe. So question is do I just go ahead and get the pearl white one then. does it really get dirtier easier or discolored from sweat/dirt or is that all b.s. cause if so I guess i'll just get a white one only other thing I was worried about was if the white gave off reflection etc when in the dark. anyhow rant off I guess question is how well do you people like your pearl white one if you have one! 8)

i reccomend you get the black one. like stated before, the parts that arent protected change color...and look nasty, and..............(throws up on lap)...well anyways pick the black one. Now, if you don't mind, i need to take a shower and do some laundry :?

I'd buy a screen protectors to be on the safe side. Most people on these forums will tell you to get the Hori brand of screen protectors, and I've heard they're good. But if you're going to get them, you should research online how the legit ones look, I've heard there are fake ones being sold that look similar in package, but are not.

I bought the only ones at toysR'us their licensed nintendo ones but they look horrible 8(

when I peeled the backs off each corner has some sticky stuff that is lil smeared and I just don't wanna put that gunk on the screen lol. On my psp it's screen protectors sticky part doesnt touch any of the lcd... sux this one is like this, if they're all like this I'll probably just go without one cause this goo in each corner isn't gonan cut it.

thanks for heads up though I'll read about the other brands.

Acctualy, buy a cobalt black, or red-black. They're back are glossy, and the front isnt black, so no fingerprints show up. The black has too many fingerprint problems, and dirt gets stuck in the white's edges.

EDIT: K, I didnt see you allready got one. What games did you get?

Same here. Mine is still clean as new, i don't think it'll turn brownish that easily unless the owner has sweaty palms or he/she is just plain dirty. yucks.
