| Which do you own? I personally own both a Phat and a Lite, and might get the DSi once I can muster up enough extra cash. I'm looking forward to the features it has honestly, can't wait.
Which ones do you onw, or none at all? | |

| Non currently. I really don't have any extra cash right now so I won't be getting one soon. | |

| Same here, ghost, but My DS phat is a little worn, screenwise. The top screen has dust all in it. I'm working on going to nintendo.com and ordering the DS phat's replacement screen set. The touch screen is pretty fine, but the top screen needs the work. It's all scratched and underneath there's a lot of fuzz, residue, and dust from my spiked hair. (I use a LOT of hairspray and moose, as could be told by looking at my photo in the gallery.) If you don't believe dust can get under there, it CAN, if your DS is worn enough. My DS lite's in better condition, but there's a little dust in there, but not very much, just a smidgen.
Anyway, when I get the replacement screen, I'll pop the old one off, wipe the LCD underneath with a damp rag and then dry it with a dry one (I only use Eyglass cleaning rags, or nintendo made rags. I know what you're thinking: It'll break it! No, you can wipe the LCD of the gameboy micro, so I'm assuming you can do the same with a DS.) and then put the new screen on. Simple! | |

| I have a DS Lite - don't see much point in getting the DSi as I wouldn't be able to play GBA games | |

| Actually, I found the DS lite unable to properly plasy GBA games such as Super Mario Bros, or any mario platformers. The reason? The way the buttons are designed. Games that use the B button to run and the A button the jump are hard to play because the buttons are so raised up. Which means while you're running, your thumb can't press the A button at the right time and pace, so you end up falling into a hole. Stupid buttons! The DS phat can play GBA games better. Why? The buttons are raised at the appropriate level. Personally, the DSi has fixed the raised up buttons problem, and the arrow pad is better, too! (The arrow pad clicks a little bit, and it's such a satisfying sound!) Games such as Super Mario 64 DS are easier to play with the DSi's arrow pad. Nintendo finally did somethuing about the Overall DS handheld arrow pad. The phat's arrow pad has ridges at the edges, so moving around in circles hurts your thumbs (Which makes swinging bowser around feel like heck), The lite's arrow pad is too raised up, which still makes some control hard to do, but the i's arrow pad is just right. (but some of you may find the clicking disrupting to your experience) | |
