my friend got one at launch, and sold it to me a little less than a year ago for 70 bucks. i played that, then got a job, and traded the fatty in for a black ds lite. it was like 80 dollars difference i think.

i bought my ds with money...

I got a DS phat at launch, but the L button stopped working, i lost all my stylus' and the screen protectors messed up my screens.

So i got a DS lite around launch, and its awesome.

me and my bro bought phats just after the release....i had to trade mine in once, and my bro twice, because we brought them home and they had bad pixels on the screen.

and, btw, the lite feels like i could snap it in half with one hand... so, i never got one XD

I have a DS (phat) And never got a lite. I'm happy with my DS and I think you should keep yours too. I think there's no point in getting a Lite if your other DS still works.

I bought the original DS at the European Launch Date (11 March 2005). Then, one year later and after getting seriously frustrated by Mario Kart DS, I almost snapped it in half. The hinges broke and the DS was playable only thanks to the magic of the good old tape. Still, I had to keep the upper screen lifted with my index finger which was annoying. Thus, one year and four months later after I bought the original, I bought a DS Lite. (without trading the original)

i bought a lite when they first came out, but none of my friends owned a DS. I was dead keen for some multiplayer so I went out and picked up a cheap phat for my friends to play when they come round.

Im loving both units :D

Well, I had my DS Phat for years and recently got the Lite. The brighter screen is great and it just looks nicer. But yeah, if you're happy with your Phat, no need to buy a Lite. I'm keeping my Phat. Toughest handheld I've ever seen. It's been dropped numerous times and has nary a dent on it! lol

I bought mine a couple of months ago before going on vacation (honeymoon, actually) to occupy myself on the long flight. Then my Husband bought one. We are way too old for these games, but who cares?
