Now you have to buy one

For those of you who were waiting for a redesign, here it is.

Right on schedule! Looks very nice.

So, it's only anounced for Japan, on March 2nd at this point. While I'm sure that it will be comming out over here, the question is when?

...

The DS doesn't have region encoding, right?

I don't believe it does. Lots of people imported Electroplankton from Japan and they're sending US DSes to Japan to make up for a shortage there with no issues.

The Japanese colours have been revealed if you're considering importing. Don't get too excited about the "black" one. It's actually navy blue.
