I prefer the lite myself, because its small, shiny, and the screen is nice and bright.

My boyfriend prefers the original version better though. I think he has trouble with the buttons, and doesn't like the way it feels in his hands too much.

This for me is a hard decision.

To most of you the lite seems much better, but i have problems with it,

The hinge issue is the main one.

after treating it like royalty for 9 months, the hinge cracks.i ask if the warranty covers it, but guess what? it doesnt!

i could get a reduced price of 50 dollars. but i dont have that type of money.

So my dad ended up glueing it. It does seem like its splitting in half anymore, but the Right bumper is stuck.

allthough i dont own one, definitely the light. if they were both realeased at the same time i would have bought one for sure. as it stands though, im not shelling out 130 bucks for a new DS when i could by 4 more games for my current DS.

Who in their right mind would pick the Original DS?

The Lite has screen brightness options, it's smaller and a much better button layout.

Microphone is in a better place aswell.

So much better. =D

Original. The lite is too small and light-weight for my taste. Too used to it to switch anyway, and I don't want to spend more money when I already have a DS when I could buy a bunch of games.

Lite... Smaller + more intense colors + cooler design + longer stylus + countless other things = win for me.

Original, if you need something to throw at someone and obtain maximum impact.

If you want a nice screen and a light weight handheld, then the Lite is the way to go.

Still have the original but lost my 2 stylus's. don't like the new stylus's cause no where to put them. Originals are always more better and sturdier, newer ones improve greatly but costly.

Same idea why buy a new DS lite when I can buy more games.

Wait to find a DS Lite if someone loses theirs. Or if they come down in price to under $100

Who would not pick the DS Lite over the the regular one, smaller, lighter, brighter, better button arrangement, etc. It's way better than the regular!

Nintendo DS lite because the origional looks so cheap outside and in game plus I have a black ds lite and I can't put it down if I still had my origional ds I would have thrown it away by now.

I just recently decided into looking into a DS, and from what I have seen and heard, I like the Lite more. Although I have heard that the original DS is more durable, I like the Lite's design. I also like how you can change the brightness of the screen, which is nice because I have bad eyes. I'm going to buy a Lite tommorow. Even if I wanted an normal DS, where would I find one? I'd have to order it offline. If I just had a DS though, I wouldn't upgrade. I would just get more games.

c:

candiedfetus

well i use to have a normal ds but nw ive upraged to lite becuase they last longer.and you can change the brightness on both ds'.

but once again my old ds started to corrupt data after a few years.

i had some good stuff in a game once and i lost it.i had to get it back.my lite is working better than ever after a few big drops.

i personly would get a lite.

Hmmm..., I was wondering, why do you guys say DS "phat" instead of "fat"?

The Lite for sure. It has the best backlighting on any handheld I've played since my Game Gear. You can actually see the screen in the sun. One thing about handheld gaming that always frustrated me was having to tilt your game around to see it in the sun. The DS Lite finally really fixes that problem.

Oh, and its sleek, sexy, and I love where they put the stylis.
