I picked up an original DS maybe a year or two after it was released. After all these new versions came out, I have never upgraded. So I'm wondering, who else here still owns only one DS which is the "Phat"?

I'm not replacing what isn't broken. And until I can manage to kill it, it will be my DS.

I've still got it. I wouldn't complain if I had a DSi, but I never saw the need to get a Lite.

Once you upgrade... you can never go back. I can't stand the Phat DS's stylus.

Me! It would have to break first before I bought a new DS. Also I like The GBA slot to much to get a dsi.

I don't have a problem with it. But even if you don't like it, that's not a $150 problem. You can buy new stylus' for a couple bucks.

Yes I still have the big old silver one. It's better because the screen isn't too bright, and the shoulder buttons are robust.

I still do. I had it since launch and it works just fine. No other Nintendo portable is as durable as the DSphat. I never bothered to get a lite. I will be getting a DSi soon, so the phat will just be used for GBA games and DS games that have my with Wifi stats

I've been using a big fat blue one since it was released. Overuse has driven the speakers out of sync, the screen into sratchiness, and the battery doesn't last as long anymorel

i got all 3 versions (i kept them all) i only play the dslite and the dsi though the screen is too bad on the original, and the stylus and the clumsiness so for me biggest update was from the old to the lite, huge difference i kept the original to have friends play with me or borrow it and i need both ds lite and dsi (gba slot) and see no reason to sell the original since it wont give much and i rather have another one to lend out and have friends play with they all been played like hell (well obviously not the dsi much yet:P) and none is damaged in anyway i cant say i dropped them in toilet though...:P

So much thinner/smaller. You can bend it easily too.

So did I.I still own the "phat" version and have never upgraded. I boughtthe original DS and about 5 or 6 months later the DS lite came out which annoyed me. Mine is still working even though it has suffered a few batterings over the years.

Good to see I'm not alone!

My bottom screen is kind of dead because I played New Super Mario Bros./Super Mario 64 DS minigames on it without a proper stylus, but it works fine. Never wanted a DS Lite.

I've still got my DS> I got it the day they were released in Japan. No idea why I waited for that particular day, but whatever. Best of all it has no scratches on the touch screen after 5 years of consistent use. All those years ago I was trying to tell people that screen protectors were a pointless scam and I was right. Either that or I treat my DS very very well.
