But on the other side of the coin, they were great for music piracy. So many cassettes my friend did for me from his great records collection. I remember back then hearing some news item about the music industry wanting to do something to prevent music piracy from cassettes taping. They hadn't seen nothing yet... mp3s were just around the corner.:rofl:

Yeah. I still remember when piracy was not even a concern. Companies made dual cassette decks specifically for that purpose. And before Napster, loser Lars from Shittallica talked about mixtapes and trading tapes with his buddies in his teens. Guess he was fine with stealing other peoples music, as long as no one stole his. lol

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
