Nintendo DS (Silver) Comments

i have had 2 of these lol
soon to sell my 2nd one
same lol ive had 2 and i sold 1
If you can get a Lite, then do not buy this one. The screen is 3X brighter on the lite and the stylus is much more accessable.
The Lite stylus is also longer, the unit itself is lighter and it's more pocket-friendly than a DS Fat.
does this have wi fi????
Don't rip on the fat DS I have one and I couldn't be stuffed to get a DS lite.
i should've just waited untill ds lite...
i had one but then sold and got a lite
personlly i like this more then the lite.
i have a lite and never had a phat but i think it still is really cool looking in its own way!
I have one of these. They are really good. They are a little easier to use because it has bigger buttons.

i have 2 but i lost one of them
this is big,bulky but better control
I have one but it broke so i had to buy an other one so i bought i lite.
i have one of these and personally like this type better than the lite.

i also find it easier to play on.
the original ds is louder than the ds lite and the screen is bigger so thats why you should have just the original ds... oh!!! and on the original ds, the battery lasts longer

...biggerr screen?...No
...battery lasts longer?...surely it depends on screen brightness...

DS Lite is...Lighter, Smaller, brighter (if desired), longer stylus, sexier, and accessories are only made for it.
my one is broken

same here.
my touch screen is screwed and every time I attempt to recalibrate it, nothing happens.
and the part that joins the two screens together is broken.
i have had it for 3 years, since boxing day i think.
my whole top screen is cracked

make room for dsi!
does anyone know where I can get a silicone cover or something for this version??? I bought a preowned one from eb games and it is in a really good condition... I want to make sure it stays that way : )
