I was just wondering if its worth buying a ds lite. I already have the older ds, and i was thinking if a ds lite was worth getting. I am not planning on trading in my old ds because the stores will give me $20 at best. What are the differences between the two outside of size and weight? Battery life? Screen brightness? thanks for your help in advance.

If you have the money go for it!
I have both and it's amazing what a difference the DS Lite makes.
On the other hand I have pretty big hands and play the DS Phat most of the time!

If you have money and no games that you want are coming out in the near future, go an buy it! It is much better all-around. Longer Battery life, noticable weight difference, and much brighter screen.

I would trade in that old DS and get the lite.

Huge difference when it comes to size. Plus, the DS looks sexy :)

Yup, it's a huge upgrade from DS to DS Lite. Smaller, better looking, nicer screen, amazing backlight (which really helps), longer battery life, weight difference... I would go for it if I didn't have a Lite from the start.

I still have the phat ds and Im happy with it.

I dont think it is necessary, but like everyone said: if you have money, go for it.

I would'nt buy it if your phat ds is in good condition, why buy it when you have a perfectly good working ds?

Just so you're aware there's a sale at Gamestop, trade in your phat DS and buy a DS lite for 89.99 I believe. Only a factor.

It's silly to buy a DS Lite if there's nothing wrong with your DS. How about instead of buying a sleeker but more breakable model of the same thing, why don't you just go out and buy 3 brand new DS games?

I've heard the phat's dpad is better, and I'm not sure about this, but I think I remember hearing somebody saying that the phat's speakers are better.

Definitely get a DS Lite. It's allot easier to carry around in your pockets and is allot brighter.

You forgot other things. It's much brighter, the battery is much longer, the stylus is longer, d-pad is like the Wii's(smooth, and feels nice to use), weights a lot less. It's not really a must have upgrade. But maybe you should try one out.See if it persuades you
