Yeah, this thing:

Sometimes I just feel like I'm the only one who still has one of these things... :(

It's not so bad though. I think I can live with the slightly less bright screen. Anyone else still using the original DS?

im about to buy a DS off amazon.com and im wondering if i should get the orignal silver one for $90 or get a dS lite for $115, i was woundering if its worth it because if i bougth the ds lite i would be spending every sent i have saved up so far, and if i buy the original i would have enough for one game off amazon.

any opinons??

Yeah, I haven't upgraded to a Lite yet. Nice to know I'm not alone :)

BTW, it's getting increasingly tough to find accessories for the original DS. Styluses, battery packs, skins, everything you see nowadays are for the Lite. It makes me wanna go for a Lite anytime soon...

I still have an original DS, I would love to get a lite, but I think its a waste of money just for a brighter screen and less weight

I still have it and i won't even consider a DS lite.

I like weight and the DS lite is to small; i feel like I'm going to break it by playing it.

So I say the original is the superior machine!

Plus, playing advance games on the lite is akward, them sticking out and all.

I'd say go with the original if it is good condition. But the DSlite might be more convenient because it is easier to find things for it. I also still have the Red/Silver DS that came with Mario Kart.

I do, the original silver one with some skin stickers on it, I am thinking of upgrading though, I like that you can chose the brightness of the screen instead of just on or off.

Yep, still have a big silver one. Still has the same Hori Screen Protectors they used to sell at Gamestop on it too. What a great purchase those turned out to be. I'm probably going to end up buying a Lite and giving the ole silver big'un to my nephew who can't afford one.

Yep, I've still got the original grey DS, and it's still great. I've had it since the Christmas after it came out. Don't like the lite much. Too small.

I think this topic has been done to death. If you feel like you're the only one with a 'phat', search the forums, you're not alone.

The Lite's nrightness does make a difference, but I also find it a bit more comfortable and portable.

I have an original grey DS and I love it but it's not looking so good.(The touch screen is totaly scrached, It is broken on a small part and can't hold it's pen anymore)

So I'm seriously thinking of buying a new lite.

But even if I buy a lite I will keep the old one for the friends comming over.

I had an old DS with mario kart, animal crossing, and new super mario bros, but then I sold them because I never played them anymore. Later I bought a black ds lite and pokemon diamond from my friend for $74.

I have the teal nintendogs edition DS, but I bought the blue/black ds lite recently. I still use the original one more though because I'm used to the feel of it when playing Elite Beat Agents and the japanese versions of them. Im currently playing all 3 of those again.

I still have mine, and on the 16th of last month, got it autographed by MC Chris, so it's definitely not going anywhere.
