It's a tough choice for me...I think I like the red slightly better..

I just bought the Cobalt blue and it looks awesome!

Don't believe the pictures, the blue is a very shiny metal looking blue, almost like aluminium, it rocks.

One thing that is different though is the back of the DS is matt and doesn't feel shiny, it feels like the inside. It's good though you won't drop the ds if you have slippery hands.

You mind taking some real pictures, the ones Nintendo send out are never right.

I really, really want the Cobalt one, I need to get my DS fixed first, trade it in with 2 games and then pay $50 to get it, all at EB. I know, not really worth it. I hope they are still selling by the time I get my DS fixed.

EDIT: I'm now as of today, the owner of a Coblat Blue/Black DS Lite!

They're really nice, I like the backing and all! The blue is a much better blue than in the pictures!

I reckon it would have been nice to have a half Black and half Blue Stylus with it, rather than just a black stylus.

The Cobalt so far is awesome, the gripping on the back makes it easy for extended long play. The only thing I would have done differently, and I can't believe they didn't do, is cobalt blue buttons and dpad?

I might get some blue buttons if they start selling them in HK.

At EB Games they had a special where you could trade your old DS and 2 games for the new colours at a cost of $49. I was gonna get it but then it said LITE!!! NO!!!

Yeah, they didn't do the Blue a favor. The buttons should have been a bluey colour. Where about can I find replacements?

I just bought a transparent smoke polycarbonate case from EB, and I can say that the clear (dark clear) case looks awesome on the Cobalt. It's a very well made polycarbonate case, nice and snug, and it was $14.95

Don't get a clear white one cause it makes your cobalt or crimson look like crap (in my opinion).

It does change the feeling of the backplate though, from the gritty matte feel to shiny polycarb feel, if that matters to you.

I've had a case on my old broken White DS Lite. It was a see-through one. I haven't got one for my Cobalt Blue DS because when playing Guitar Hero: On Tour, the Fret Grip will not fit it there is a case on the DS. Now that sucks.

I think I already have a tiny scratch on it, but it's only visible when very, very close to the DS.
