I don't think I could possibly stare at the DS Lite on the highest brightness setting.

Got me one. I turned mine bright setting level to 2nd lowest. Although when I went upstairs with it in a sunny/glarry room it was difficult to see. Same with when I was outside with it. But was in the middle of a game so didn't feel like restarting to change level.

If anyone wants to play online I have Animal Crossing and Tetris DS. Just let me know, don't have my friend codes off hand.

Yeah, even the lowest setting is supposed to be better than the DS' settings.

ARG and YAY! Black and pink DS Lites are available today or tomorrow. The official date is tomorrow, I think. I already have a white, but an buying a black becuase it looks really awesome. I had to exchange my original Lite for a new one so it's only about a month a half old so I can sell it for some good money.

Arg.

yay.

Why's the black only just come out over there? It's been out in the UK for a while.

It's also a nightmarish fingerprint magnet. But at least it looks cool.

I turn my backlight out all together. It means I've had mine for 3 weeks and only charged it twice.

It's a way to boost sales. Release new version of system, DS sales go back up. Release new colours later, and the stupid fucks who bought a white but wanted a black will buy it.

I just traded in my launch DS for a black. Normally, I don't trade systems, but this is really leaps and bounds over the original in terms of playability.

Is it really that much better?

I'm quite happy with my blue DS.

I wish we had a blue smiley.

  • Brighter screen works in daylight and such
  • More vivid colours
  • More comfortable feel (Even to my huge Wendigo-hands)
  • I don't know if this is normal, but my touch screen seems more responsive.
I find the DSL to have a significant advantage, though mostly just because my hands feel better playing it and I like being able to turn up the brightness.

Until you actually play a DS Lite for a while you'll be completely happy with your regular DS.

My girlfriend had a regular DS for a while and didn't want a DS Lite. She was perfectly happy with her original and had no need for a DS Lite. I bought a black one, so I gave my girlfriend my white DS Lite (Free for the price of $110). Now she's in love with her new DS Lite and the improvements Nintendo made with it.

It's similar to going black and never going back. If you've never gone black, you have no idea how freaking sweet it is... therefore you have no interest in it. But once you do you'll never want to go back.

If you play your DS a lot, I'd reccommend a DS Lite. The battery life is longer and takes less time to charge. Plus pretty much everything about it is an improvement from the original DS. I had no problems at all when I had an original DS. If you have the extra $$$ I'd say to really look into one.

* Buttons feel better
* power switch is located in a better spot
* Same with start and select
* screens are way brigther and you don't need to look at them at one specific angle to see well (The only complaint I had when I had an original DS was how you had to have the screens at a certain angle to see well)
* stylus is thicker and longer and makes a big difference. Feels like a small pen rather than a thick toothpick.
* touch screen is more respnsive and takes a lot to scratch.
* stylus is easier move around and stop on the touch screen

I see how it's better, BUT the problem is that I can't justif spending another $110 on something that's still just as good.

Select, Start and Power are in horrible places. They should never have moved the power switch outside in such a fashion that you can accidentally turn it off while the DS is in sleep move.

I see. So it's not all greatness. Anyway, I'm not gonna bother upgrading unless

a. The DS Lite fairy takes pity on me and I get one free.

b. Mine breaks and I happen to have some extra cash laying about.

c. I come into a shitload of money at random.
