Lots of rumors on the 'net about a potential Nintendo DS re-design coming soon! Many think that Nintendo will make a formal announcement as early as the 16th! Lik-sang has a blurb about it on their website which, in my opinion, validates the rumor somewhat. Here's what they have to say about it:

"Late last year Reggie Fils-Aime, chief marketing manager for Nintendo said how they've been looking into re-designing the DS ever since its launch, and last month Japan's Famitsu magazine teased us all saying they knew a current Nintendo console is getting a revision soon, but wouldn't say which one. All signs however are pointing to an NDS: SP, and here at Lik Sang too we have received word a couple of days ago from a Japanese contact stating Nintendo will have a formal announcement of the re-design on Jan 16th. Stay tuned to Lik-Sang.com to see if this turns out to be genius or bogus! Meanwhile rumors on Spong.com suggest it'll be a square clam-shell design, inspired by cell phones and allowing you to make free VoIP calls from any wireless hot spot."

I thought I wouldn't hafta buy another console until May! Sheesh! $$$!
