    Not my DS, but my brother is sporting a black Nintendo DS Lite. Such a fingerprint magnet. Matte on the inside and gloss on the outside is so mind boggling.

    That electric blue one.  I thought it looked kinda cool and didn't want the blegh black one, so I picked it up.  When I brought it home, my older brother said, "Why'd you get that gay color?"  It hurt, but I figgered it was just his... jerkiness.

    However, when I showed my gal pal a picture of the stock blue DSi from the internet, she asked "Does your's look as gay as this one?".  God, I hate everybody.

    First I got a pink one, cause back then you could only choose between black, white and pink, so naturally I chose the bravest color. When the guy at the story asked me what color I wanted and I said pink he went "Really?" to which I replied "Yes, pink is the shit!" 
     
    Then I got a black one, because none of my friends had a DS yet and I wanted to play some of the multiplayer games I had with them. 
     
    Later one of my friends was saving money to go to japan but still wanted to get Pokemon when it came out so I offered to trade him the older of my DS's (the pink one) as well as a game he could trade in to offset some of the cost of the game (at the time "GAME" had a special selection of popular games you could trade in to get Pokemon alot cheaper and I hadn't really cared for Yoshi's island DS anyway). 
     
    Ofcourse now I only had one DS again but my other friend had gotten a DS of his own anyway. All was well until the L trigger on my black DS stopped working and then the screen folding thingy got real loose. So I . bought a silver colored one that had just come out. 
     
    I still keep my black DS around though since it's still good for multiplayer DS games that don't require the L trigger.

    You can fix the trigger by folding you lips around it and blowing it. Dust particles tend to get between the receptors with the DS lite. I believe Nintendo actually fixed this on the DSi.

    Also yeah, big up on the silver model that you don't have to see all those prints, it just makes it feel so filthy.

    Still have my silver US launch DS, but I'll be replacing the shell soon with either a white or pink shell (or perhaps both). No offense to all those who bought new DSes because they had a different color, but I personally think it's a waste of money to pay a 150 bucks for an entirely new system when I can just replace the shell for 10. :P
     
    Hopefully I won't break the thing in the process... But if I do I guess that'll give me an excuse to pick up a DSi XL (bigger screen > smaller/lighter handheld).

    The hinge of my '05 white DSlite broke a while back, and I redressed the thing with a chrome shell.

    I have that "Hot Rod" red original DS that was bundled with Mario Kart almost 4 years ago. After the DS lite came out I told myself I'd get on of those once that one kicked the bucket, but of course like every Nintendo product it's damn near indestructible.  I don't even know how many times I've the dropped the damn thing and it didn't break.  Thankfully my bro picked up a black DSi when it came out, so when I'm home during the summer and Holidays I can just use that.

    DS (phat) - 2 x silver 
    DS Lite - 1 x pink, 1 x black 
    DSi - 1 x black 
     
    Can't really vote for one.  Black is always my favourite though, so I'll vote for that.

    Black, but with a red stylus - I managed to misplace the original somewhere.
     
    Oh, and it's also sporting a brand new crack in the hinge near the power light. I take pretty good care of my wee gem and was bamboozled as to how it could have happened. I've since found out this is a common flaw with the DS Lite. I feel a little better about it, but not as much as I would if it hadn't happened at all.
     
    Of course, it's a good excuse to buy a new one and palm the cracked one off to the missus.
