Because it looks cooler. And IMO, it's more comfortable to hold.

Well, smaller, brighter screen, more efficient, looks better, bigger stylus, and....it's the same price.

When I bought mine, they'd already stopped producing the original model. Though, oddly, I was in Zellers yesterday and they still had one for sale "with bonus Metroid Prime Hunters demo!"

B/c the Lite is better than the original when it comes to the brightness, looks and dust cover and placement of the mic and the stylus is alittle bigger. I always try to get an improved version of something, esp when it comes to electronics. SO I had to have the ds lite.

I saw no reason to get the old version since the Lite is better in almost every way.

Well actually i have the electric blue old DS, and i like it much better then my sisters DS lite, because i think its comfortable, the buttons are more like, well buttons, not buttons on a phone. and i dont have to hold it very weird, because it feels like it could brake any moment hehe... so i like the old one better, the thing i like about the lite is... the light :P

I've got the original fat DS, and I don't want Lite, but if something bad will happen with my DS, I won't be sorry to buy Lite

The material feels a lot nicer, the screens are brighter, longer battery life, smaller (therefore more portable), a more ergonomic design, and the overall look of it :D

I traded in my old version this may for a lite since I could get 60 dollars for the original. Nothing against the original DS, its a great system but I like the lite's size better. Fits in my pocket easier.
