I have the DS original and im thinking whether i should get a DS lite. Im finding that i use my DS all the time now so im not sure. THe problem is of course that i wont be able to sell my original DS because no one will buy it!
No he shouldn't they both do the sameyes you should
The display is a huge problem with the DSPhat for me, playing on the train when the sun's shining is almost impossible. I'm going to buy a DSLite in the summer becuase of that. If you have that money just lying around, do it!
The point of this thread isn't which one to buy, it's whether someone who already has a Phat should bother to upgrade. You're right that is a benefit of the Lite which someone buying their first DS should consider, but it's not a good enough reason to pay out £100 to replace a piece of hardware you've already got.aeSentinel said:What's wrong with you people? Of course there's a good reason to get a Lite; It has roughly double the battery power of the Phatt, in order to support the extra brightness levels.

I say stay with the DS Phat, if it breaks - buy a DS Lite.
The DS Phat plays the same games as the DS Lite.
Save your money. Hell, what if Nintendo announces a new DS handheld soon?
