Although the DS Lite improves in many ways upon this earlier model, the DS is still a good system to get. It's now much cheaper and more affordable than the DS Lite. I prefer this unit over the light, however, because it feels much "sturdier" than the light version. Since it's creation, the Nintendo DS original model has stood pretty strong in the 4 years since it's initial release. My only major gripe with the unit is: The power button being easily depressed when you don't mean to, and the brightness, which is non-adjustable. It might be cumbersome for heavy gaming sessions, but I enjoy the solidity factor here.So, if you're in the market for a DS and don't quite have the money for it's little brother, try the original model and save some money. All the DS titles will play in this, even Guitar Hero with the adapter, so you won't be losing on any gaming goodness that Nintendo has to offer now, and down the road with future title releases.
I personally like the original version due to it's "rounded" design, and let's face it, folks.it doesn't have ANY smudging problems.I recently got the red version of this, and I'm most impressed. The primary reason. I used to own a silver version, but the red is just downright sexy. Still a worthy investment at half the cost.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO GAME SYSTEM. IT WORKS GREAT AND COMES WITH A CHARGER SO YOU CAN CHARGE IT WHEN THE BATTERY IS LOW.I CAN PLAY MY NINTENDO DS EVERYDAY BECAUSE IT IS SO FUN.
I LOVE THIS GAME SYSTEM. BLUE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE COLORS. WORKS GREAT AND COMES WITH A CHARGER.
Bought this for my 9 year old son. It was as discribed, In great condition.Better made then the Ninetendo DS Lite.
I have owned this little hand-held for awhile now. Some people have noted that the DS Lite's Hinge can break easliy, but the DS has a re-enforced Hinge. This one is more reliable. I have never owned a DS Lite but my friend let me play his for awhile. I bought this version because that DS Lite was too bright and could cause eye strain or seizures. But now my DS is becoming a little slower at reading games, i'm wondering if I should get a DS Lite or a Original DS.
