While I do like the Lite, the fat DS had awesome buttons. I hate that they changed them.

DS Phat. Unless it has the button problem like the lite it doesn't matter.

Original DS, I like my wo.. consoles to have abit of fat on them.

The fat DS is more curvey than the Lite so its more comfortable in my hands, isn't as fragile and it fits in my hands better.

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.

Back in the days, you could ask the same question- GameBoy or GameBoy Pocket? Of course people will say the Pocket because of it's physical aspects. But with age comes beauty and handhelds are no different.

I have the original, and am therefore biased towards liking it. I also think it's a little more hardy. aSometimes it's gets very annoying when friends with DS lites say to me; "Why don't you upgrade to a DS lite? They're way cooler, and better." The only downside to having the original is that they don't make any cases or acessories for it anymore. I just narrowly swiped a case for the normal DS before they started shipping in da Lites.

this is how it goes......people that only own phat will obviously prefer the PHAT,people that own a PHAT and Lite would prefer a Lite and the people that only own a lite would obviously prefer a lite.....

The thread should be called "Who owns a PHAT and/or Lite"

It's impossible to find covers/cases/skins and the likings for a Tubby. I'm thinking about trading in my 2 Phats and some other stuff for the DSi. It looks pretty sweet.

I still have two cases for the phat ds. Since they are discontinued, in 2030 i can sell them for like 1000 dollars each because they are so rare. But for now, im using them for my lites

I strongly believe that the DS lite is still better, cos design wise, its way cooler than the phat, I mean the DS phat is so ugly and has the most disgusting design ever....it looks worse than the old game boy , sure its durable, but i have dropped my ds lite tons of times and my lite still remains uncracked and functional.....

I've got 2 lites, 1 broken. I was thinking of buying and old phat and swapping out the screens. I hate not being able to play GBA games without having my lite look like a transplant gone wrong.

So, yeah, I preffer the phat better.

I own a lite as at the time i bought I had no other choice but to buy one, and well I much prefer a Phat. My friend owns a fat, and man it just feels so much better.

I hate the glossy, fingerprint magnet the light has, hate the sticking out of the GBA carts, the buttons, and how it just doesnt feel as comfy.

But, atleast it has 3 upsides, longer battery life(with lower brightness ofc), screen is better, and although I dont like the size because of the GBA thing, it is smaller, and sleeker.

Well I've been rocking a phat since xmas 048), and like it better. When I play on different people's lites it feels very thin and not very sturdy. My phat could probably survive anything.

Still have a Phat and it still works well, but whenever the DSi comes in a nice color I'll buy a DSi

I think most people know that the original DS was built as a stop gap against the PSP which came out at about the sametime. After a few years Nintendo were able to refine the technology behind the DS and improve it.

I've used both the DS lite and DS Phat but I only own a DS Phat and I'm happy enough with it. One thing I didn't like about the DS lite was the sound quality which is quieter than the DS Phat.

The DS lite is an all round better machine but I guess that in a years time someone will create a thread saying 'Which DS do you prefer Phat, Lite, or DSi?'

You know, that's the thing, my ds lite is about 2 years old too, but about a month ago, it developed a small crack in the front part of the right hinge, and I think it grew a little bit from a week ago. I'm hoping that my ds lite will last me until the next handheld, I don't want to pay $40 to fix it or to buy another one.

I love my lite, I generally use it when my daughter is in hospital when i cant play my 360. But in sayin that I havent played a fat one just looks too bulky.
