I do.

Its alot more solid, comfy, easier to hold and also looks 10 times better than the lite.

Who cares if it wont fit in my pocket? Who puts a DS lite in their pocket anyway? If im taking it out id just put it in my bag anyway, but i mainly play DS at home anyways.

I dunno, I really would miss the crisp, bright screen of the lite.

I don't notice a huge difference in the screen quality but if definitlely exists. I don't take mine out of the house anyway but I probably would prefer the Lite if it wasn't for that crippling hinge problem. The phat is sturdy and that's what I want.

I kept my old original one when I bought a Lite, because I was concerned about the durability of the Lite. While the original appears to be more solidly built and has IMO a better D-pad, the Lite is easier to hold (less weight) and has a much brighter screen. Another way in which the original is better is that a GBA cartridge doesn't stick out.

i like the ds lite better, but i just don't use my ds that much to the point where i'd want to pay for a newer version of something i already have.

I put the DS Lite in my pocket often, it's convenient. And yes i'm not surprise that you prefer the phat DS more but you're in the minority.

My DS goes every where with me so having the small portable lite is VERY nice....plus I think the DSlite looks a lot sheeker then the DS Phat....either way as long as it plays games I could care less.

Given that my girlfriend's Lite has a cracked hinge already and she barely uses it, I'm extremely wary of its build quality (or lack of).

However, the old DS is ugly as hell. It's just clunky, awkwardly shaped and has all the grace of a bloated hippo. Plus, the screens are garbage and the stylus is about as useful as a toothpick.

However, it's built like a tank.

I wish I could have it all.

Same here, but only because I own a phat. The lite, to me, looks cleaner, but I will consider buying one when a price drop occurs solely for the weight and brighter screens.

I still have the old ds. I didn't really see a point in trading it in and spending more money to get a smaller version of the system.

I like the d-pad on the old DS. Much better and easier to use IMO. However the Lite looks much better.
