Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ever since that damn Lite came out nowon gives a hell about the old DS... What the hell! Always when I go into EB or Gamestop I see piles of Reg DSs but the Lite is always sold out! Come on people, Give the old DSs a home!!!

way
i want lime green or white

I don't like the look of the DS lite. and while i like things smaller, if it can't hold a GBA game correctly, why get it? dang. I hate it when people mess around with a perfect system to make it "better" The GBASP for example. the only reason people say it's "better" is because of the backlight, But I much prefer the original GBA. though i don't use my GBA much anymore, I still think it's better than the GBASP. And the DS Lite is just..... ugh... The old DSs are better in my opinion. Even if I were to receive a Lite as a gift, I'd still use my generic DS

Well, even though it looks better and has a brighter screen, my highlight for the system is how they went back to the old fasion push in buttons, instead of the crappy a** click-in buttons from the SP (god, I hated those) Plus, you have to admit, the old DS is kinda bulky.

My reason for buying it isn't because it's the newer model (I was perfectly happy with my normal GBA even when the SP came out), it's because I really didn't like the first design of the DS, and thought it was somewhat flawed.

If it were possible to get a backlight installed into an old DS I would because aside from the backlight I do perfer the original design. Right now that backlight & the bigger stylus are the only things tempting me to even consider getting the DS Lite. Heh I hear in Metroid Prime Hunters, Trace sticks out like a sore thumb even while invisible for Lite players.

I switched GBA SPs when the new backlight version came out because the design of the system itself didn't change.

Meh! I'm satisfied enough with my current DS. I don't find any problem with it so far. It works well enough, so I don't need the DS lite right now. In fact, I'm not getting one until my old DS dies, because I feel that it is a waste to buy something that you already have.

I mean, what is wrong with the regular DS?

I bought the lite because

1) it's the anniversary of my first DS being bought
2) My original DS' battery is now only 6 hours from my hideous amount of time playing it... ask Makaveli he'll tell you I'm on it constantly

The GBA SP without the backlight look just like the GBA SP with the backlight. They units just have new colors. O.o
