Well then I'm guessing you didn't buy a DS Lite and therefore don't want one, or else you did spend money on it but you consider the money you spent on it to be not as good as the money you spent on your original DS! Am I right? Just kidding, sort of.
It's not that I don't want a DS, I just don't care enough to spend money on any more video game systems. I'm kinda nervous about spending money except maybe on books. And besides, The N64 and GBA and GCN are still very fun to me. I don't want to spend money right now on leisure activities when I should be growing up and learning to manage money and getting a job and going to college and studying seriously in a profession I want to have a future career in -- but enough about me, we all know how I sound really serious but then act all goofabulous when talking about life. Besides, this is a thread over whether he should get the DS Lite instead of his DS.
Apparently the DS Lite offers the advantages of being smaller and having a brighter screen. If your original DS is too big for you or if it's hard for you to see the screen, you should probably just get something more convenient, like the DS Lite. On the other hand, There is no disadvantage to just having a DS. I never switched to GBASP from GBA and I didn't suffer. I've played the GBASP, and I didn't really think it was superior, just different. you should test out a DS Lite, and see if you like the changes from the original DS, and then decide.
