Got a bit of bad news, though it might not be TOO bad, for those who don't want to switch to color so quickly..

The Color-screen Tamagotchi is going to be exclusive to Japan.
The rest of the world is getting a music theme Tamagotchi called "Tamagotchi Connection Version 6 Music Star," which will NOT have a color screen.
Also, the color screen Tamagotchi will take 2 AAA batteries.

Information comes from Narazeetak, a Tama-Zone member who works for Bandai Indonesia.

Omg a music themed Tamagotchi? MUCHO COOLITO! =D
The color screen TMG never caught my eyes anyhow plus a music theme TMG sounds so, so, soo much better.
I can barely wait! =P

Thanks for the update, OM21. It isn't too big a deal to me that it will be exclusive to Japan, I was planning on ordering one of the internet from there anyways. I feel bad for anyone who wants one and isn't from Japan and can't order them, though.

Is there any information about the version 6 one for the US?

All we know now is that it'll come in a guitar-shaped package, and it's scheduled for release in spring 2009.

I'm going to get both the color Tamagotchi and the V6, myself.

Yeah, same here. Anytime Bandai decides to release a new tama I'll probably end up buying it at some point.

Guitar shaped package.... music Tamagotchi...

*considers for a moment*

*falls down in excitement*

That's awesome!  I think I'll have to change my siggie to Mimitchi carrying that guitar Petrucci holds. ; )

I'm still keen though on getting a coloured Tamagotchi, I think the websites will be hit with mass orders from us. =P

...-sigh-

once again, innovation eludes me! D:

What will they even base the Music Tama on? o_O The mp3 player doesn't do much...so it can't be that...

A scan from a magazine was just found, showing off some "Tamagotchi Plus Color" designs:

The Tamagotchi Plus Color was officially shown on the Japanese site today!

http://tamagotch.channel.or.jp/toy/tama_color/index.html

The site confirms a release date for November 22nd, which is a little unusual - most Tamagotchi pets are released a day later than this.

7 designs are officially confirmed: White, Pink, Black, Magenta, Blue, Orange, and Green.
The bottom also includes animations! Click on one of the eggs to see them.

The Japanese band EXILE are getting their own limited edition of the new color Tamagotchi, featuring the members of the band as obtainable characters. 200,000 models of the "EXmotchi" will be made, in two colors: white and red.
