Well lets see, where do I start. I guess I will start when the DS and PSP first came out. I wanted a PSP so bad, but wasn't willing to pay $250. So I decided to wait and see if the price would drop. Well during this time, my girl was wanting a DS. After waiting for so long, and the prices dropping on both systems, I started to keep up on both systems to see which one I wanted. During this time they released the DS Lite which also caught my eye. But the main thing was during this waiting period I was watching the games more than the systems. I mean after all, if I am going to spend all that money on a handheld, I want the one with the over all better games. So that brings me to today. I am a proud owner of the better handheld. Not because it has better graphics (because we all know that goes to the PSP), but because the DS is where the better games are at. Now once I got my DS Lite, I was soooo happy once I started playing it. Why you ask................well because once I saw just how much depth something as simple as a touch screen added, I just knew I made the right choice.

i didnt really game before i had a DS i had a couple of games on PC and 5-6 on gamecube. All of which were rubbish movie games etc. Then on boxingday 2005 my life changed forever (sounds a bit sad but its true)! I went to a friends house that just got a DS for Christmas and i played Mario Kart and got hooked. Later that day i went home and ordered one. I recently upgraded to a DS lite and now have 19 games. Thats nearly double what i had before. I also bought a Wii on launch day and own 10 games on the Wii with many more on the way. I cannot that that friend enough!!!!

I was pretty much just given a DS for Christmas one year. Then I sold my phat for a Lite because she was in bad condition and I've been very pleased with it ever since.

I bought my DS Lite, about 2 and 1/2 months ago. Mainly because my friend had one, I always saw here playing it and she let me play it sometimes and I really liked it. I have never been a hard core gamer, but I have always lvoed Nintendo games, we have a Game Cube and an N64 which I play quite a bit. So after thinking about it for about.......1 day I decided to buy one. I love it and play it every day! :)

I disagree.. DSL is not the best handheld out there... the psp is... however the DS's games make up for that fact by far... I love my games... I love my DS...

Well, I just bought my Ds lite a couple of minutes ago and I bought because I used to have a original Ds and because it was cheap. I got it for $90 for the white ds lite, 7 games, carrying case, and a charger.. Nuff said fantastic deal

I bought lite because the regular one looks crappy. In addition, its adjustments are more comfortable.

As a psp addict I got my DS and later upgraded to a DS lite because of some of the games. Depending on genre each has it's plus points. For me driving games on the psp are great.

However, and to the point of this forum, the DS offers excellent puzzle games and the touch screen offers that extra dimensions. I love the brain training and Magnetica/Tetris/Trioncube/Polarium/Bomberman and many more that are just sooo suited to the ds.

I bought a DS lite because I was bored and have a job, so dropping $150 on a DS and a game is not a big deal.  Funny thing was it wasn't even planned.  I was like "I'm bored" then went to game store and bought one.

You guys are right, I was addicted to the PSP at first because of its great graphics but since I had a chance to play Retoku Tower (something like that) and some other games, I realized that the graphic of PSP is not as great as Sony had already annouced (somehow I thought that Sony was lying to the fans cus they was always saying that the PSP's graphic is as good as PS2) and another reason is that most handheld-gaming-system-owners in my country (Vietnam) is ownning PSP and they're very proud of it. So, I thought DS is just familiar to GBA or it is a GBA with crappy 3D graphics and 2 screens.

But as soon as I got enought money to go to the store and pick a PSP, I began to reconsider the DS cus I always have a crush on Mario, Bomberman, Castlevania, Wario ..  and I realized that none of the PSP's game suited my style. Then, I pick 2 white DSlites (1 for me and 1 for my little sister) and our family have always been full of laughings since. I often play Mario Kart DS with my family members and yes, IT's DAMN FUNNY! Now I'm sure that my decision was not wrong.

 Thx Nintendo very much for bringing a lot of fun to my family !
