Thanks! Using a barebones Canon EOS 300D digital SLR with kit lens (Called Canon Digital Rebel in US I think). This was even done with AF, automatic exposure and ISO adjustment and no retouching in Photoshop. Only resizing in iPhoto.

I look forward to more pics of your setup. The Apple products, the DS Lite... so damn awesome.

Mine arrived on Thursday. It's an amazing machine...it absolutely wipes the floor with the original DS. This is what should have been launched last year.

Crap screens - GONE
Horrible, uncomfortable design - GONE
Crap buttons - GONE

And what is left is an excellent, stylish little handheld. With two fantastic screens*, great looks, and much better buttons

*better than the PSP screen....damn right! Oh yes, I went there :D (I have both btw and the DS screens are even better than the excellent PSP screens)

MINE! Too bad she has a stuck pixel. I'm hoping Play-Asia will replace it, but it's not to terrible (only shows up stuck when it should be a dark color) and I guess I can deal.

I think my favorite part may be the stylus. I was using a metal Palm stylus before, but the new DS stylus is just the right size.

Edit: My stuck pixel is blue too.

One stuck blue pixel for me as well :( It only shows up on black screens and I rarely notice it. It's a bit of a shame but I can accept it having one or two fault.

DSlite people has anyone see a carrying case yet that will fit the DSL, a few games and the charger?

I picked up a neat one for the PSP today (looks like a CD/DVD binder), I think it would be great for trips.

I would love to get something like this for the DSlite.

That explanation makes perfectly good sense. Food and DSL ..ok.....


Still I prefer seeing the DSL tied up and spread open as the little slut it is.

What day is this update at Lik-Sang from?
Please note that if you have still not finalized your purchase by accepting the current market price of US$ 199.90, your order cannot be processed as such. Given the current circumstances, the retail price is not likely to drop significantly for a while. Therefore, anyone holding an unconfirmed reservation should contact Lik Sang either to accept the higher price and send the final balance payment or to cancel the order altogether.

What are they asking me to do? Is it me or do they want me to make a choice instead of wait?

And honestly, how long can it take for supply to take over demand? Can't be too long, right?

I had sent my money via PayPal to Jonny way before. Would have been a hassle to refund and then go somewhere else. Patience is virtue, I got a pretty good price I think. :)

I just tried out the Lite this evening. I gotta say, the Ice Blue grew on me, the pictures don't do that model justice. However the color saturation on the Lite is so overwhelming; such stark contrast to the GBM on the color tip, thats for damn sure.

I'm not a big fan of DS games so I can hold off on the Lite, but it is indeed a sexy device.

You guys should live in Japan, here you can walk into any store and
get laughed at for wanting to
buy a DS Lite. There are ads for it all over the Yamanote line today. They are pushing it so hard
and with no units on the shelves, to boot!

I just wanted to chime in here and say I got my white DS Lite (finally) on Saturday and it lived up to every ounce of rampant drooling that has accumulated in this thread. My eyes have been bleeding from marathon sessons of Tetris DS, Metroid Prime Pinball, Super Princess Peach, and Metroid Prime Hunters. Looking forward to Brain Age on Tuesday as well.

I am most pleased overall and happy to report zero dead pixels. P-A also tossed in a free Japanese Namco GBA game that I'll probably never open. Wonderful.

Oh, and keep the pics coming for those of you with awesome cameras. I love them and have been using them as wallpaper.

What's the best way to clean the lite?

I do NOT want to scratch it. I haven't moved it in a day.

I have been using those monitor cloths for LCD's and various displays. Supposed to "not scratch screens". Been using them for over a year now with portables and my Apple Cinema Display. They work fine.
