I'm reserving judgement until I try the Lite, but I suspect it'll be the winner by a large margin.

I haven't held the lite before, but I can say that the current one kills my wrists when I'm laying in bed and have it positioned on my chest.
So if the lite is a bit lighter I might like that more.... but then again the lite doesn't come in pink. :wink:

Can't afford either of them yet, but from the pictures, I'd probably prefer the classic version. The other one just looks too "lite" for my huge, grubby paws.

I didn't touch a lite before, but from the design viewpoint I'd prefer that to the original DS.
I will not dump my DS, though. I might get a DS lite after a few years when they're on sale.

Is there any difference like hardware wise in the Light version or is it just a new design?

All I know about is the different brightness settings.

Blindingly bright screen (adjustable between 4 settings), equal battery life at max brightness, larger less toothpick-like stylus, improved D-pad, and relocated power button. I think that's about it.

You forgot that the mic is in the middle of the DS so you don't have to slightly turn your head down to the right :lol: . I guess it is more convient....

I'll stick with my classic. My only complaint is that the volume control slider is a bit flakey compared to the wheel on the classic GBA. Much more control with the wheel than the slider.
Other than that it's an awesome system.

I apparently have been in a cave for 5 years, i thought the DS was the predecessor to the GBA? Do they still make GBA games? I stopped buying gameboys b/c nintendo just came out w/ too many.

I stopped buying gameboys b/c nintendo just came out w/ too many. I think you mean "successor", "predecessor" comes before. Yes, they still make GBA games, there are some interesting ones coming up. and some great ones released recently.
