Introducing The Nintendo DS Lite!!!

Earlier today Nintendo unveiled it's new Nintendo DS Lite. The company boasts that the new handheld is less than 2/3 the size of the old one, with new dimensions of 133mm x 73.9mm x 21.5mm. Also by looking at the picture it seems to help fix up the d-pad and face buttons. The system will launch in Japan on March 2nd of this year, with a US launch date to come. The system is told to also have a brighter screen compared to the last one. Here's the question though, is it so much different than the old DS? The GameBoy Micro was incredibly small compared to any past GBA, but after sketching the dimensions on paper of the DS Liter and holding my DS next to it, I wonder if this will really be a big improvement. It is also lighter, which will help a lot, and those buttons I'm sure are a ton better. The system will launch in Japan for 16,800 yen, which is about $144 in US. If the system sells for $150 in the US, I really doubt that I will buy it right away. Though I would love to, that is a steep price to pay for something not groundbreaking compared to the original. If it was somehow in the $100-$120 mark, then maybe I would consider it. The system also looks to have a sleek "apple-esque" glossy white look, although I don't know if I would swing for that. Introduce a glossy-black though, and I'll be all over it. It is currently unsure if it plays GBA games, but the chances or if not are a million to one, because of expansion packs such as then rumble pack, so expect a GBA slot. Call me crazy if you wish, but I just thought they could have done a little more. Maybe if I get good trade-in credit or eBay money for my DS I will consider getting it.
