Poll: New Nintendo DS Customer or Upgrading Old DS Consumer
So let's see the numbers on DVD talk. How many of you are new to the DS with the Lite vs how many of you are upgrading?

New to the DS.
I own the GBA and previously owned the original GB, but took a wait-and-see attitude with the DS. When it became clear that the DS had a number of very good to great titles and when the DS Lite was announced, it became a no-brainer.

Upgrading. I'm fine with white, with the glossy plastic any darker colors just show fingerprints too much and look like crap all the time as a result.
Though of waiting for a bundle, but decided to try to get myself one this week for a reward for studying 8-10 hours a day for the past week, with 2 more weeks of that to go, before a Ph D comprehensive exam.

I just traded in my Xbox at ebgames with some other items and ordered my first(!) ever Nintendo system...the DS Lite.
Now please direct me to the "must buy" DS game thread.

I am truly going into this blind...like I did with the Xbox. That's is why I was curious if there is a must buy thread for DS (and I guess Gameboy Advance) games.
I am going to pick up the new Super Mario game but was trying to decide on one other one. I will likely resume my subscription to Gamefly as well to try out a better variety of games for both the DS and GBA.

I'm upgrading. DS is the best platform to play games on right now, and really the only one I play, plus the upgrades are pretty significant, so its worth it. I'm trading in my old DS tomorrow .

As far as must buys go, there are several places where people have asked that and there's a lot, but it is going to depend on your taste. The DS and GBA library are very diverse. Universally, I think no one can go wrong with New Super Mario Bros or Tetris DS. Tetris and Mario Kart DS are great, especially if you've got WiFi.

I know he's got (or has had) a DS. So the poll should be 18-20 right now.
