I have finally purchased my Nintendo DS Lite (Black) last Friday. I went to 3 stores before getting the black edition. All other stores only have the White (buttons turning yellowish) or Pink (too girlish). I bought it from JB Hi-Fi for AUD$188.00 (RM526.40). Added another $6 for another DS game, namely Star Wars Lethal Alliance. EB Games was selling cheaper at AUD$187.00 but no black edition. The salesperson from JB Hi-Fi (Jeff) was very friendly and recommended me a crystal case with 2 additonal stylus for AUD$8.99. The black edition is definitely a finger print magnet with it's glossy surface. Luckily with the crystal case, I could protect it well enough. I been using it while travelling on trains in Melbourne. Next on my list would be to get the flash-cart to play NDS ROM games. I am going to choose either the R4DS or the DS-Extreme. I prefer the DS-Extreme with it's built-in memory (512MB or 2GB) but very difficult to source. The R4DS is selling in Malaysia for RM160.00.....

I am still thinking to buy the Nintendo DS Lite from Melbourne. It cost approximately AUD$187.00 (RM523.60) per unit without any games bundled. Been reading forums about the Nintendo DS Lite... what to get, what games are great, playing ahem games, ... The EB Games stores in Melbourne is doing a promotion: Buy 2 DS Games for AUD$50.00 (RM70.00). Thought of buying the "Monopoly, Boggle, Yahtzee, and Battleship" pack with the DS Lite Pack (case, screen protector, charger, stylus,...). This promotion ends this weekend. Another question : Black or White console ??? p.s. Exchange rate AUD$1 = RM2.80
