Does anyone still play the big old ugly original dinosaur DS system?

Idk about you but I'm still staring at my DS box that came with the metroid demo lol. I was curious to know if there are still a lot of people who use the old one, or if most people have upgraded to the lite, etc.

I do. I'm seeing if I can hold out until next generation.

I do but i'm caving in for a dsi this christmas.

I think the DSi looks pretty sweet though, I just still need to play GBA games lol.

Yes, I still play mine because I don't have money for a DSi yet.

I do. I bought mine even before of realeasing ds lite, so its quite old mine. In about 3 weeks im going to give mi little sister my ds, I bought her an r4 too, one for me and one for her and im buying a new ds for me :D

Yes, but I also have a DS Lite.

hey, more respect! it's not ugly! at least not my DS. and until last week i'd answer "yes", but i finally got my hands on the DSi.BrunoBRS

Lol well it's just a little bit more 'big-boned' than the other lite models. Does anyone still play GBA games on it?

I never get bored playing the same game while on a trip, so I just carry a DSi or a Gameboy Advance SP. 8)

I got the red mario kart DS bundle with the racing stickers. Man was I upset when they came out with the DS lite a few months later!

Yea i still use it quite a bit, especially when my DS lite is charging.

What GBA games? I was trift shopping forsome the other day and I found some interesting stuff(Still trying to figure out why Pokemon Ruby is $30 used?). I'm currently running in my GBA slot:

-DK Country

-Zelda:Link to the Past

-Kingdom Hearts:CoM

Anyone else?

Up until a few days ago....i have always used the original electric blue ds.

Just for future reference you can't talk about flash carts here. And I still have my DS Phat and a DSi.

I sold my phat ds when I got my psp lite, at the time I thought that I only needed one portable system and also has the chance to sold my ds for the same money i bought it!

Now that i have loads of work and travel quite I bit I realized how the psp wasnt fullfiling my needs and got a dsi..couldnt be happier!

I had a similar situation. I always wanted a PSP and traded my DS Lite in to get it, then Sony wants to annoy you with updates and take over my computer, so I went back to my original DS. I'd like a Lite ora DSi, but why pay full price for something you already have?

I have a lite and I switch between them both. I like it, it isn't particularly modern looking or sleek, but it had a nice design in my opinion.

Apparently I disagree. :?

:o

I have the animal crossing blue ds.

It's got bite marks, the R button sticks a little, the screen works fine (I learned stylus controls with EBA), the system sometimes doesn't recognize games, and I can sometimes see the white line that implies where the screen edge is supposed to be (hint there's more).

But I love it.

I like to play my old gameboy advancedgames on a old system rather than the DS. The old games just somehow loose something on the DS.

I still have the Big Blue Phat. And yes, I still play a few GBA games on it from time to time. I figure its still in good shape, still gives me a lot of game time, so why change? (Plus I always thought the Lite and also the DSi looked a little flimsy, their buttons are tiny and besides, I still like Big Blue.)

I got my phat model when it was first released back in 04', kept that until chirstmas of last year when I upgraded to the lite, then sold that for the DSi at a later date.

Now, after trading that for a PSP slim, then returning that for a 3000, THEN selling that for a original phat DS model, I'm back to where I started.

Interesting how that worked. :P

Yes.I'd take the original model over any model that came after.

I play on the old one. The DS Lite and DSi are too small for my hands, and I don't care about DSi Ware one bit. All I care about is that I can play retail games, and I can do that with the original DS.

I do. I don't feel the necessity to upgrade now, so I'm probably going to wait until the next generation.

No, it was from cats.

Mostly.

I was in Gamestop the other day and noticed that they were selling old reconditioned Phattys for $49. I was surprised but the clerk said they were still popular.
