Lightbulb Slide pad colour...

The 3DS looks great, awesome, from what we saw from E3. But however... why did the slide pad change it's colour to white??! I prefer the old E3 style.. and is there anything wrong with having a colour matching slide pad?

I agree, the white/gray looking slider should at very least be the same color as the system itself.

I absolutely hate the slide pad now!!! I loved it when it was the same color. Made it look nice and consistent. Now it's just making the slide-pad stick out so people notice it

My impression on why they changed the slider color is to protect the paint. No matter what kind of paint you use, after a year of thumbing that slider to death its going to be mostly grey anyway.

I thought aside from changing the color, the slide pad itself looks smaller now?

I don't care either way. So long as I get my 3DS, it's all good.

I have to say, I did prefer the E3 model where the rubber slider nub matched the color of the system. It just kinda stands out in an abstract way with it being gray. It would be about as odd as a black nunchuk having a gray stick.

Now, if the face buttons were colored, like the previous Nintendo consoles that had gray joysticks, then sure - it would look a bit less out of place. But with such a glossy, strongly colored piece of eye candy to have a big white dot sticking out of it. I have to say "Whaaaat?".

Anyway, its not too bad looking on the black one. Here's hoping the black model is out at launch and not a year or so down the road.

I think that the color of the Circle Pad doesn't matter too much, but I did like it better when it matched the system color...but it's okay, from what I've heard, it feels much better than the PSP analog nub. I just hope that it is rubber and not plastic..like, I hope it feels like the GameCube analog stick, that was so awesome, especially playing Super Smash Brothers Melee.
