Polar white... or onyx black?

I was kind of leaning towards the white ds, but i hear ppl saying that it turns color or something... How the heck does it change color?? And the black is suposidly supposed to show finger prints easily

What one do you have and why do you think it is better

id get the white one it doesnt change color at all whoever said that is retarted, it has a hard casing unless you paint it it wont change color, the black one does show fingerprints and scratches, thats the usual problem with black electronics, they are thenicest but the hardest to keep clean, id get the polar white though.codalloo

Only the left and right triggers get a little dirty looking. Not the entire thing. That's how mine looks. Not too noticable though.

I wanted the Black but all best buy had was white.AzureCuzYeah

Same here, except I went everywhere besides Best Buy.

Personally, I like my polar white DS Lite better than the onyx.  We bought back an onyx system at my work, and was quickly annoyed by how dirty it always looks.  Black is sleek, make no mistakes about it, but you'll be constantly maintaining it's appearance to keep it looking slick.  I feel the same way about my PSP.  At first, I thought the glossy black finish was the nicest thing ever, but in the end I'd rather have a matte finish, or something that doesn't show every fingerprint. 

I also like the polar white because it matches my Wii, and something about white just makes the system feel fresh and simple.  As for the discoloration, I've seen some yellow L R triggers on Lites that were sold at my work, but my triggers are perfectly white.  I'll also point out that I've seen some disgusting systems come through my work, where there is human "fudge" or grime, around every crevass in the controller, and what looks to be vomit or Taco Bell (same thing, right?) in the air vents to the system.  Case in point:  Some gamers are just freakin' gross with their hygene, or they eat nasty food while playing at the same time, in a very dusty/dirty environment.  These people will complain about discoloration, but their problems are far beyond yellow triggers on their DS's.

Be a man and buy a pink one, slap a Hello Kitty sticker on it and challenge anybody who gives you any lip to a fight. Lord_Daemon

I got the black (Onyx) one because I think it looks more sophisticated and won't show the dirt as easily. Also, I think games look better with black surrounding the screens (movie theater effect). I put my DS in a clear acrylic case that protects it and keeps fingerprints from being very visible, which I really like.MamaMiia
