I still have the original DS with the box and Metroid demo. Even though I already have a DSi, I find my original DS to be much more useful. (GBA slot)

I still have mine and the MPH demo, but I got a DSi and left my old DS at home. I don't really like playing GBA games on the ds so I don't miss the slot a lot.

Haha, I'm a nintendo sucker. I had my DS phat since launch, then I bought the DS Lite 2 years ago, then I bought the DSi at launch. I loved my Phat but I really love the sleekness of the DSi and DS Lite.

Nearly 5 years, and it's still going strong.

No, not really, it's falling apart.

Nah, but I had the original GBA and never upgraded. If I had original DS I probably wouldn't upgrade too.

I've had my DS since launch and played it right up until this summer when I got a DS Lite. I still have the original because I couldn't trade it in because of the serial number having been rubbed off of the sticker on the back.

I'm thinking about buying an original DS and then a DSi just before it's taken off the market. I'd like to have all three as part of my collection. But nah, right now, I don't own an original. I just got my lite 6 months ago.

I still use the original DS.Best button feel,best size (smaller handheld =/= better,in this case),and best durable design.The screen is dim compared to the other models,but I can deal with it.

I probably would have a DS and a DSi right now if my original DS had not been stolen. I have a DS lite and DSi now.

I have my old hulk of a thing, and I wouldn't want it any other way. I've never wanted a DS lite seeing as I don't regard it as much of an improvement. I don't like the overall layout, buttons or overly large pen. However, the brighter screens are a plus. I have no interest in the DSi whatsoever, as I deem it completely pointless. I still don't know why Nintendo has released 3 version of the same handheld in 5 years. The GBA sorely needed an upgrade, so it got the SP, but the DS had no real problems. I just don't get it. Also, no backwards compatibility? I like to be able to play both GBA and DS gameson the same handheld, thank you very much. For convenience's sake, of course.

I have a Lite, but if I did have an original I probably would have traded it in to get a DSi. I've played other people's DS's and they just felt too bulky, which is probably the reason I never got one before the Lites came out.

If it works for you, don't worry about negative comments. Even though you're missing out on the DSi-only features, you still have access to the great library of DS cartridge games. I will only say that I rarely played my big red brick and am glad that I bought a DSLite and DSi. I keep the first one (phatty) around for visitors and intend to hang on it because it seems to be a fairly robust piece of equipment.

I have DS Phat- Mario Kart DS Red. It is still working. Now, I play any DS game with my black DS Lite. I still play Animal Crossing Wild World with my DS Phat. I will get DSi.

I'll be an OG until my skills decline or my phat breaks, but I will admit the compact and sleek Lite/ i is pretty impressive. What isn't though is the pencil sized stylus.

I've tried out the DSLite and DSi but found them to be rather flimsy so I'll stay with my sturdy old PHAT until it finally dies.

It still works beautifully, never gives me any trouble, no bad pixels, no broken latches. As my DearOldDad used to say: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." :P

Oh, and YES I do have the original stylus - both of them.

I never got the original DS. Probably because it was so bulky and so unappealing. Even if I did get it, I'd probably trade it in for a DS lite. Then trade my DS Lite for the DSi.
