Is now a good time to get the DS

The DS looks to be great, but when ever I thought about getting past gameboys, a new one came out not long after that. Since taking notice of this, I watched nintendo, and they kept making new versions. Some were small changes, while some were ones that mattered ( At least to me they did).

DS has been out for while now, and has some great games.. Is it safe to get one? When is the new Gameboy coming out?? DS has been out for while, should I just wait for the next Handheld...?

One more question, what is the difference between DS, and DS lite?

The DS still has plenty of life left so Its not to late. A new nintendo handheld probably wont be out for at least another 3-4 years.

The DS is a bit chunky I suppose and the DS lite is smaller and lighter and has a brighter screen.

Its a great system dont be afraid to buy you wont be disappointed.

You ask if now is a good time to buy the DS ??

Anytime is a good time to buy the DS .

It is the best time to buy one because there are tons of sweet games out already for it.

Go for it, you will not regret it.

DS is great, go for it!

DS sold 8.3 million copies in 07. This out sold every other game system out there, even the new Wii. I do not know if that total was DS & DS Lites combined. But being 1st in sales & the Lite with a much easier screen to see to play on now, I doubt Nintendo will be coming out with a new one soon. Therefore, I would get one. Plus the DS can play all of the DS Advance games too, so not much of a down side to the purchase.

I think it is a good time. but DO NOT get the DS lite if you want to save a little bit of munney. It is rilley a waist. No point.

but if you get the regular DS than i think you should =) but unless you just want a smaller DS that breaks often get the DSL

Awesome, thanks everyone. I assumed the same, this console is doing so good I didnt think they would put out another one. But what about a new model type?

Anyway, I got the console along with two games (mario kart and brain age) and some much needed things for it. When I first went for it, they were all sold out, so I called today and to my surprise they had some. They are selling like crazy. When I went, someone was getting one to. Hehhehe, I got the last black. Great console, great games. I really wasnt planning on getting a handheld, but DS is just too good.

And for the guy who said "DO YOUR RESEACH!!", perhaps you should have researched this topic before posting, seeing that the difference between the two was explained twice Before you posted. One of them being the second poster in this topic. The differences are'nt much, and would'nt take long to type, but instead you insisted on making two posts saying the same thing, good job. And if you did see those posts (which I doubt you did), all you had to do was not say anything about the matter.

That is what pisses me off about Nintendo, they keep making "improved versions" of the handheld systems. Like i bought the GBA advance and after a few months after that they came out with the SP and i bought that. Then the Ds and DS lite, I am getting the DS lite tommorrow
