I was there on that fateful day, were you?
The newer DSs (Crimson- and Blue-Black ones and the Zelda and Nintendogs ones) only have the top of the top flap with the shiny clear coating over the paint. The rest of the DS is actually a matted plastic so it's soft touch and doesn't show fingerprints. Also doesn't make your hand sweat during the longer play sessions. Far better IMO.Black Lotus wrote:I think it's an eyesore, myself. I would have liked to get a black one, but the Daxter pack was too good a value to pass up so now I've got a silver. If anything, the silver at least doesn't show visible fingerprints. I look at my black DS and think I should be wearing gloves while I play.
Black tends to do that. I had the same issue with my N64, PS2, Saturn, and original GC ('til I traded it in for the Platinum) and Xbox ('til I got the clear one).Kupek wrote:PS3s are dust magnets. When you take them out of the box, they look all sleeky, shiny and fancy, but after sitting around for a while, they just look dirty.
