Yellow, blue and red. They’ll go on sale on September 23 alongside the original burgundy and bronze. Here’s your chance to make the DSi XL your primary gaming unit.
Primary? Geddit?

Unfortunately these won’t even be getting a look in from me. that yellow one also looks like it will get awful dirty awful fast

Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 11:20 AMI don’t understand why Nintendo bother with this?
The Black Wii was essentially just a black Wii. Nothing more.
These colours for the DSI XL are really plain at most too. My black DS Lite is still going strong however so I’ll stick with that for the time being.

It’s like how the Lilac PSP from the Hannah Montanna bundle trumps everything.

Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 2:03 PMI thought the dark green PSP from the LBP bundle was better.

Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 11:51 AMOk, now you’re just being pedantic.
Chuloopa
Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 12:02 PMDepends on which primary chard your using.
traditional subtractive primaries are actually red, yellow and blue. this is whats been mainly taught in primary art classes, particularly in painting.
Additive primaries, which is what you are talking about, is blue, red and green. This is what is used in televisions and monitors.
The cyan, magenta, and yellow subtractive primaries are used in printing.
Now who’s being pedantic…
Chuloopa
Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 12:03 PMoh… the whole point of that was that Goose’s pun was still technically actuate… from a certain point of view…:P

Shouldn’t you be busy working or something!?

Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 12:05 PMArguably only for electronic items, no?
I’m sure most everyone’s had to paint in VA during high school, and in art terms, the primary colours are Red, Blue and Yellow. Or if you want to sound like a pretentious twat, Magenta, Cyan and… uh, Yellow.
oggob
Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 12:41 PMRed, Blue & Yellow to me will always be the primary colours… as the rule you get taught growing up is you can’t make these colours by combining others…
Blue & Yellow make Green, so that is a secondary colour. How do you make Yellow?

Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 1:45 PMWho would have thought a gaming site becomes a primary school art class lesson. Love it!
Did a bit of reading on good old Wikipedia.
Don’t want to brag but I’m still right:
Primary Colours – Red, Green, Blue
Secondary Colours – Cyan, Magenta, Yellow
Red + Green = Yellow
And I thought I was going crazy when you guys said yellow was a primary colour. I was sure I was taught RGB in primary school.
I want a gold star now. A smiley stamp is ok too. :-P
Chuloopa
Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 3:01 PMYou obviously didn’t read the whole article – you will notice, as i pointed out, that there are different primary colors for different media.
Badmiyamotofinger
Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 3:25 PMAhhh did more reading and clicking on Wiki articles.
I blame it on work as I was flicking between webpages and work related stuff :-P
However Wiki did say RYB was the formerly standard set of subtractive primary colors.
So what is the current subtractive primary colors?
So does that mean RYB aren’t primary colours as there are new subtractive primary colours?

Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 3:15 PMFurther to what Chuloopa said…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory
Historically, if we go back over hundreds of years ago, before deeper research and the invention of new technology, it’s commonly known that the primary colours are Red, Yellow & Blue.
Artists were painting with these colours and mixes long before movies, TV’s and cameras have been around.
Chuloopa
Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 6:36 PMhaha for some reason arguing the color charts has been one of my favorite conversations this week – that was awesome! :D
Badmiyamotofinger
Friday, August 27, 2010 at 9:26 AMHehe yep.
Instead of “console wars” we have “primary colour wars” instead :-P
I’m still standing by RGB as the primary colour.
Doing more wiki reading I found out RYB was the old subtractive primary colour and the new one is actually MYC.
So going back to the original topic, if these new DSi colours were Yellow, Cyan and Magenta then yes, they are “primary” colours.
Let’s all agree that these new colours are “pretty colours” and not “primary colours”. :-P

Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 12:47 AMtldr: Primary colours are those which cannot be derived from other colours. Red, Yellow, Blue. The RGB thing is more of an industry thing due to CRT and LCD screens.
Please explain how Yellow could be broken down to at least 2 more basic colours.

Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 11:47 AMWell, my current DS Lite works just fine, so I can’t see myself purchasing one of these. Also, I’ll wait until the 3DS arrives.
Chris Guerin
Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 11:55 AMYuk, looks like they’ll do Polka Dots next.

Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 11:58 AMI love the blue but it doesn’t justify replacing my brown XL.

Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 12:12 PMIts almost catch 22
Release nothing but a stock standard grey unit and have people complain
or release some colours and have people complain.
or release some colours have limited edition colours and have even more people complain
I say lets just start making things all the same light beige colour, then everyone can complain.. over something as trivial as colour.

Thursday, August 26, 2010 at 1:46 PMYou can’t trick me into upgrading my DS Lite just yet Nintendo, I’m waiting for the 3DS (although the blue one does look nice)

Saturday, October 9, 2010 at 12:52 AMi like the blue and green but the yellow looks as if it wont sell that much at all.

Saturday, November 27, 2010 at 4:05 PMWhen is the ds 3ds coming out anyways?
