I am planning to buy a DS but don't really want to throw out $130 for a Lite when I can get the regular one for much cheaper....Why pay that much more since it is just extra $ for a smaller size right?

Thanks....

The screens are considerably brighter on the Lite and the stylus is far more comfortable. I would recommend the Lite over the original, but it's really your choice. A preowned original DS at Gamestop is $80 vs $100-$110 for a used Lite.

it really is better its well worth the money I mean if you take int consideration that the hole on the side keeps ur stylus from getting lost that saves you a lot of insanity looking for it but it just fits better in ur pocket hands and the brightness helps.

i think that it depends on what u are planning to do with it. If u have a portable counsel already like the psp get the regular because you can still play all the great games and u save a few bucks. but if u dont and plan to use ur ds a lot get the lite, i have a lite, and i love it.

The brighter screens & stylus storage are worth the price difference.

the screen alone is easier on the eyes. I get less headaches playing the lite than i did with the regular. plus the slimmer size can fit in your pocket alot easier and the case is easier to carry around.

The Original DS has louder speakers than the DS lite, that's the only thing i can think of...so this means the DS lite is better overall.

My PHAT can take a lot more abuse than a lite. Plus with the cracked hinges and bad pixels that show up in a lot of lites (and don't tell me they don't, there's reams of threads here that have people complaining), PHAT is where it's AT!
