Idk about you but I'm still staring at my DS box that came with the metroid demo lol. I was curious to know if there are still a lot of people who use the old one, or if most people have upgraded to the lite, etc.

Lol well it's just a little bit more 'big-boned' than the other lite models. Does anyone still play GBA games on it?

I had a similar situation. I always wanted a PSP and traded my DS Lite in to get it, then Sony wants to annoy you with updates and take over my computer, so I went back to my original DS. I'd like a Lite ora DSi, but why pay full price for something you already have?

I have a lite and I switch between them both. I like it, it isn't particularly modern looking or sleek, but it had a nice design in my opinion.

I have the animal crossing blue ds.

It's got bite marks, the R button sticks a little, the screen works fine (I learned stylus controls with EBA), the system sometimes doesn't recognize games, and I can sometimes see the white line that implies where the screen edge is supposed to be (hint there's more).

But I love it.

I like to play my old gameboy advancedgames on a old system rather than the DS. The old games just somehow loose something on the DS.

I still have the Big Blue Phat. And yes, I still play a few GBA games on it from time to time. I figure its still in good shape, still gives me a lot of game time, so why change? (Plus I always thought the Lite and also the DSi looked a little flimsy, their buttons are tiny and besides, I still like Big Blue.)

I still have--and love--my old DS. But I'm chomping at the bit for a DSi this X-mas. I hoping to scoop up package deal. I agree with Detroit. The DS seems a little meatier than its cousins. Durability is key when your on the go.

I got my phat model when it was first released back in 04', kept that until chirstmas of last year when I upgraded to the lite, then sold that for the DSi at a later date.

Now, after trading that for a PSP slim, then returning that for a 3000, THEN selling that for a original phat DS model, I'm back to where I started.

Interesting how that worked. :P

I play on the old one. The DS Lite and DSi are too small for my hands, and I don't care about DSi Ware one bit. All I care about is that I can play retail games, and I can do that with the original DS.

I do. I don't feel the necessity to upgrade now, so I'm probably going to wait until the next generation.

No, it was from cats.

I was in Gamestop the other day and noticed that they were selling old reconditioned Phattys for $49. I was surprised but the clerk said they were still popular.
