I am often finding that the DS does not last as long in battery life at all and I have expected this (It's probably got only %50 charge overall left compared to when it was new) so I will ask this, should I get a DS lite? -------------------- Ruddy pictures! Alex made me sexy! Amster made me skeptical! mirror makes me 8-bitlytastic! Soiyeruda made me young again! Robby drew my awesomeness! All the people on forums I visit that have drawn a Flygon or Breloom. Guinea drew a Breloom Gato drew a Breloom Alba drew some sorta hybrid Alex drew a Breloom in 30 seconds Omnomlicous drew a Breloom I drew a Breloom I drew a Breloom properly Jazz drew a Breloom Jazz drew a Flygon OmegaK drew a Breloom Hybrid Project Alpha drew a sexy Breloom chick And a rather surprised Flygon Afti drew a rather strange Breloom No idea if I had any influence, but, whatever, HybridProjectAlpha drew a Flygon being eating by an Umbreon and I intend to sig it

Plus, most accessories are now made with the lite in mind, not the original style DS. -------------------- Four weeks. Twenty papers. That's two dollars, plus tip.

I personally find the Lite a pain in the hands to hold. I also really wish Nintendo would stop pretending like the pre-Lite DS didn't exist and continue making goddamn accessories for it. ****ting on your early adopters (or any part of your market in general) is a bad idea

what I would REALLY like is a DS with the features of the Lite (backlight scalability, increased battery, maybe some way to leave a cut-out in SLOT-2 for Lite-size GBA paks) but with the form factor of the original DS.

scratch that, I'd like one with the look of the development one they first showed at E3. I loved that look

Okay, this didn't immediately pop up as a help topic in my mind, but looking into it, it is, thanks. =P

And lightning, I agree with you on how Nintendo's lack of support is painful, if I could I would get a new battery, but they don't sell them here, so thats why I'm asking if I should get a Lite =P

meh. I have a DS normal, and It still works fine (I even have wi-fi on it). If the time ever comes, i'll trade it in, but 99% of the software works on old as good as new.
