I don't own a DS, nor have I ever. I've always thought about getting one but now with the crimson/black + Brain Age 2 bundle out, would it be a good time to get one now?

I'm not too high on the style of it...people say they like it but it looks really bland to me.

If you like some games that are out for the DS then yeah, it's a great time to pick one up. It's got alot of great games coming out for it and the crimson/black ds is one of the best colors out right now.

I own a couple of DSes and I was thinking about buying the bundle. If the DS has games that interest you, go for it.

Is the crimson just a better looking version of the black one just with red on the top and stuff?

Ya I think the Black and Red looks Ugly. But that's just me. Get it if you like the games for the DS.

The original poster said he wasn't too crazy about the style, no, too high i mean so i wouldn't get it if that was the case. i don't really like it that much either. the main appeal is that it's the first new color in a long while and the two tone is also different. i'd get the white. The other thing I'd consider is if i've never had a DS i might just wait for 3 months and see if they don't introduce any other new colors for the holidays so that would be Dec 1, there would be a bunch of new games between now and then and you'd know if they were good or not after they've been out awhile not just based on hype...then you could get a new color if they came out with any or a white or black one. I think the red and black one looks a little Goth.

There is no point in buying the bundle...why you ask? It's the same price as if you'd purchased each item seperately. Brain Age 2 may as well be duct taped to the top of a DS Lite box and called a bundle. If you really want Brain Age 2, then I suppose that's fine, but its little more than a reason for Nintendo to get $150 out of you at one time rather than $120.

Aren't you supposed to save something when it comes to a bundle?

Had same question as you this week.

Opted against the $160.00 bundle.

Was able to get a DS Lite at Wal-Mart for $120.00. I used the extra $20.00 to buy a game I actually wanted, Worms Open Warfare at EB Games and will apply the remaining $20.00 to a case that I like.

Brain Age 2 looks like a game you'd play for a day or so. As well, Brain Age 2 sells for $20.00 new.

The case that comes with the bundle looked impractical to me - to too small to fit the charger and games in sleeve cases and not strong enough.

Although I saw Future Shop had a bundle that included Monster Truck DS but Metacritic gives that 33% - not sure that increases the value any.
