DS phat or DS Lite or DSi?

The way I see things, people who are new to the DS scene should get the latest DS model which is the DSi. They don't need the GBA slot unless they want Guitar Hero and want longer battery life. People who have DS Lites don't need to upgrade to the DSi but they don't need to bash it either. I sold my DS for a DS Lite then sold my DS Lite for a DSi and I'm happy with my purchase. You are sick of DSi owners forcing the DSi down everyone's throat while I'm sick of DS Lite/Phat owners bashing the DSi for no good reason.Kenny789

]DS Lite bashers? How could one possibly bash the DS Lite? :? I see DSi pushers but not DS Lite bashers. Maybe GBA slot bashers >_>Kenny789

I had a DSi, and downgraded back to a DS Lite.

I like the feel of the DS Lite, it seems to be lighter in your hand and the buttons are firm, not soft like on the DSi. Also, GBA slot.

I use a DS lite to migrate pokemon from my GBA games to my DS games. Laihendi

I think if you buy from ebay the ds lite has a better value IMO. I bought a ds lite in very good condition, with box and 3 games for $96. The three games being Advance Wars: Dual Strike, Final Fantasy III, and Animal Crossing Wild World. The ds lite alone was only $75 but he had a deal for each extra game only costing $7 so I went for it. Anyways, I rather have that deal compared to a DSi for $170 or $150 used. Course buying a DSi would be future proof never know what DSi-ware games will come out. Right now, I'll take my chances with the DS lite till the DSi proves worthy.

DSI already has wifi. but no gba games =[ DS lite plays GBA Games

No it worked fine. Perhaps I described it wrong.... the dsi buttons felt shallow and soft to me. The Dpad is also too stiff. I play alot so I started to notice the little annoying things about the DSi (to me, at least), and they started to wear on me. The only reason I could see getting a DSi is for the apps.

The camera isn't the only difference, you know. =/

I don't think anyone bought a DSi for the camera.

An I agree, it's pretty useless. I only use it when I'm with a group of friends and we all just fool around with it, giving each othermustachesto drawing rainbow unibrows on each other. You'd think it's stupid but for a bunch of hyperactive giggley girls and bored guys it's a lot more fun then it sounds.

I'd have to say DS Lite. If you have a DSi then you don't have a GBA slot, and that's just dumb, the camera I mean. That's what an actual camera (or a phone) is for, I don't need my DS becoming my camera too.Anaranie

Nobody's forcing me to, can I not state my own opinions and facts? Is nobody on these forums allowed to have their own opinions unless they agree with you?Anaranie

I say DSLite and no... there aren't any games that are DSLite exclusive.scar-hawk

As you can tell, it's something of personal choice.

>Do you have a GBA or any of it's variations? DSi

>Do you not have a GBA, but wish to pursue your future purchases of GBA games and DS games? DS Lite

>If you answered the above question with a "Yes", but like the DSi's upcoming and exclusive features, then opt to get a DSi and a GBA SP.

>What are the features of the DSi? The DSi is 12% thinner but slightly longer than the DS Lite ; The DSi contains two 0.3 megapixel cameras ;The screens on the DSi are 0.25 inches longer than the DS Lite ; The DSi's RAM exceeds that of the previous model by 4x (4mb -> 16mb) ; The DSi has an online store in which you can buy games that are only in said store ; There will be DSi specific games in the future. ; More can be found here.

>Did you say DSi specific games? Yes.

>Proof? In addition to downloadable games, Nintendo DSi is able to play games made specifically for the system and sold at retail. The system can also play most Nintendo DS games, and will have access to a library of more than 850 titles originally made for that system. -Siliconera

Thank you, and goodnight.

Two DS Lites, and a DSi. I use the DSi 95% of the time.
