Crimson DS Lite with Brain Age bundle

The DS Lite gets another new color--and a pack-in game

We already knew it was heading to Canada, but Nintendo has now confirmed that the new, red-and-black DS Lite will be available in the States as well. The two-tone Lite will cost $149 when it streets on August 21, but the extra $20 over the standard price gets you Brain Age 2 and a carrying case bundled in the box. It joins the white, black, and pink versions of the mega-selling portable.

My question: When are we going to see the Nintendo Wii appear in something other that that annoying shade of iPod white?

Considering that Nintendo doesn't have ANY problem selling those white ones, why do they need to bother with any other color options, at least for now?

Though I admit, I would've loved if my Wii had been done up in Daytona Sunset Orange. Maybe the guys over at the Corvette body shop might have a quart or two lying around...hmmmmm...
