My ever-so-beloved DS Lite is starting to show its age. I've owned and played the tears out of it for little over a year, and its flaws are becoming more and more evident. Although, thankfuly, I haven't had the cracked hinge problem, my Lite makes a low but noticeable cracking sound everytime I open it. The touch screen, on its right side, requires a bit more pressure to detect stylus input, and the overall units feels fragile and...sniff...weak.

It'll soon be time to move on. There is a rumored Zelda Phantom Hourglass limited-edition bundle, said to be released this holiday season. If this is the case, I'll borrow some dough and I'll buy it, even if I have Phantom Hourglass already. Hopefully, if true, the new system is a golden version, not the silver one already shown:

Although that one would be sweet as well and I would still get it.

If said rumor ain't true, I'll import a Metalic Rose (which looks totally like copper / bronze) DS Lite from Japan. This time around, however, I'll still keep this whitey ol' friend of mine; I know my sister would like to play it. I had a Phat before, sold it to import my first Lite, which I sold to buy the one I currently own.

And of course, my good ol' special buddy, the black DS Lite with no top screen, is still around, giving me plenty of Sudoku puzzles to enjoy.

Oh, but there's more; there's another rumor floating around suggesting another DS redesign, this time with a TV / Radio tuner. Sounds interesting, and I would get it for sure, but I hope and expect more features, if true.

1 out of 130 people in the world own a DS
1 out of every 6 people in Japan own a DS
1 out of 22 people in USand Canada own a DS

Long Live DS!
