I like the lite better, but the one draw back is that it has higher chances of hinge problems, and one of my lites hinges broke:(. But the Fat is more durable, I like the look of the lite.

I prefer the lite,

but like you said my hinge cracked from one drop so I havent picked it up since haha.

Id prolly have to buy a replacement shell, but I think it's better overall in most aspects.

I imagine everyone's opinion will be very similar to yours. I hadn't heard of the hinge problem on the DS Lite up until about 2 weeks ago but I don't like the sound of it. I have the original DS and I'm quite happy with it despite it being very clunky. I would love a Lite though, it's beautiful but that hinge problem.. It just really sets me off.

Yeah now that Phats aren't sold anymore practically everyone will own a lite, thus most people preferring the lite

The DS Phat is great for using it as a defensive weapon. Other than that, I would get a DS Lite.

I have owned and played both, and I definitely prefer the Lite (even with the hinge crack; it's just one tiny crack that doesn't change anything at all).

Definately the DS lite version! Mine's never had any problems
and usually i end up losing or braking everything i get! :lol:The screen
is wayyy better than the old DS and I find that the sound is too.
So Yeah I'd say I prefer the lite by far. :)

I have the fat DS, but I like the Lite DS (I prefer a lighter screen).

But unless my fat DS breaks, I'm not going to get a DS Lite.

The DS Lite is superior to the original DS in almost every way.I own a normal DS,though,and it suffices quite well,so I don't really need a DS Lite.

I have a Phat for a while now.No bad sides,except the brightness,on sunlight the screen looks like it's turned off.I sometimes have the urge to break it in half,which never happens due to it's hardness.If i tried that at a Lite,it would turn up on eBay lol

I agree. If the lite had the buttons off a phat, it would be much better. I do have to say that I prefer the size of the lite and the screens are much better.

Lite for me. I have had no problems with the lite at all, and I found my kid's DS Lite at the bottom of the washing machine after the spin cycle, and I freaked. Pulled it out, and after it dried it worked just fine, no problems. So like I said, Lite for me.

I had a fat for 2 years and I've had a Lite for a year because my fat broke. I like the Lite better because its lighter, brighter and awesomer.

I prefer the Lite cause of the brighter screens and its slimmer box shape. But whilst I have my fat, im not going to rush out and get a Lite

How often have you heard a DS fat had cracked hinges?

maybe because people don't look after their belongings very well, if your have a proper case and treat it properly the problems would be much less. when people complain about these things they often leave out the part where they have thrown their DS across the room and don't really care for it.

not unless u treat ur ds like sum old brick- in that case the phat is better- and less button noise too, for stealthy recon handheld ds missions. (that wasn't sarcasm)... (that wasn't either)
