Metallic Silver DS coming this fall

This particular color has already been in Japan and Europe for a touch under a year, so we have to figure Nintendo forgot to send them here and just found a few thousand pallets of them ... or they knew we just weren't ready for the arrestingly shininess of it all. And we may still not be. We'll find out on Sept. 7.

September 7th? Whoops. I might be getting yelled at today.
I don't understand why a color variation like that is street dated, anyhow. It's not coming out alongside any major releases that I know of, and it's a boring fuckin color anyway. The boxes were barely distinguishable from the white ones.

I'd rather have the lime green, all red, or all blue versions come over here instead of this one.

Indeed. The only thing stopping me from trading up to a new DS is the fact that there isn't one that's all cobalt-blue. (It's not just the color issue, either: there's been a semi-dead pixel on my lower screen for two years, and while I don't notice it as much anymore, nothing seems to fix it and it's REALLY irritating when I do notice it.)

Hell yes to the lime green.

Good. I'd hate if my iPod was my only device covered in fingerprints and microscratches.

Really? They're still making new colours? Let it rest...

yeah, they you add a microphone and 30 minutes-less battery.

I already saw those for sale at a Walmart in San Diego. I thought they were the white ones but nope... they were the silver ones.
And this was this past Saturday.

I'm still waiting for my Nintendo DS™ Crayola™ Laser Lemon™ edition, thank you very much.

"This particular color has already been in Japan and Europe for a touch under a year"...
Wait, what?
And here I am settling for Black like a loser.
Seriously, I have never seen a metallic one yet.

Does it have better speakers? Better anything?

If they released a Metallic Grey or Gun Metal Grey DS I would buy one, but to me silver and most of their other colors are boring. I'll stick with my phat for now.
