Hi guys on September 1 they announced that they would be shipping out SCDS1s with new packaging, I've managed to get one with the new packaging.
Old on the left, new on the right. As you can see it is now a box instead of book style packaging
Only thing different on the back is the inclusion of the please recycle logo and CE certification
More changes on the inside, old on the bottom, new at the top. There is now a new microSD reader which feels a bit more solid and a fancy new manual that is gloss coated and folds out with different languages (original only had a piece of card with chinese and english instructions). CD remains the same
The older SCDS1 I have is a different colour and features the wedge on the side. New SCDS1 has a lighter white colour and new "teeth". As you can see it more closely matches a real cart in shape. Some people already have the version without the wedge
My newer SCDS1 also seems to have a different microSD loader which is a bit more sturdy - when you put in the microSD it'll click and catch the microSD before you push it in. Likewise, when you push it to eject it won't fly out but get caught half way. My older SCDS1 didn't "catch" the microSD as well and feels a lot more flimsy.
I've also noticed that the new SCDS1 has a smaller bulge in the centre
