Nintendo wants all of my money

And at the rate they are going, they just might get some more.

The rumored DS redesign is a reality, and will launch in Japan in about 6 weeks. No word yet on the US launch date, but Lik-sang is already taking pre-orders for the Japanese version.

I was about to buy a second DS, since there always appears to be a line to use the current DS, but waiting for this should be well worth it. The current DS has always seemed just a little bit too big to me.

The first questions I have are, is the stylus pictured the actual size of the DS lite stylus? It seems a bit big, which I hope is true. Second, does shrinking the size remove any functionality? Perhaps no GBA play?

Any which way I like it, and will most likely be setting aside a portion of my tax rebate, in a super-special-secret-box to ensure I get one of these on its US launch date.
