I was recently offered to buy an original DS for $25 or a lite DS for $100. Is it worth the extra money to buy the Lite?

tough call, its up to you. I would say no just because 25$ is a great deal. and 100$ isnt as good of a deal.

They both do the same exact thing, except the DS lighter is... lighter, smaller, has easier buttons to push, and has a better lit screen.

I'd say go for the $25,00 because like diped said, its a great deal.

The DS phat is a much better deal. A fourth of the cost for pretty much the same item -- its even sturdier, if heavier and without 'brightness' options.

It's not worth the extra money to buy the Lite. I would get the DS original. A little bit smaller isn't worth 75 $

I would go for the DS lite even though it is 100$. But if the regular DS is in good condition (eg. no scratches on the touch screen or top screen, buttons work properly, a pen or two, battery pack is fine, you get the recharger and anything else that's important) then you should get it for 25$. You should always be careful when buying electronics from someone else.
