Difference between DS and Lite?
ok, so I've been out of the gaming ring for a while now. Just getting back in upon hearing of the new Wii and Zelda games coming out. I've been thinking of getting s DS or Lite for awhile now, but what's the difference? is the Lite a slimmed down econo-version of the DS?
any recommendations as to buy the DS or the Lite? many thanks |
Lite's smaller, a little more ergonomic and has a much brighter screen. I bought a regular off ebay for $65 last spring and after playing a friend's lite, I wish I'd held off and spent the extra cash to get a lite.

Get the Lite, best investment you will ever make. Better screen, smaller, sleeker, better stylus (this is a bigger improvement than most people realize), brighter! Did I mention it looks cool too?
|
The screen on the DS sucks--dark and colors look muddy, the screen on the DS lite is great--super bright and clear.
DS lite is also, smaller, ligher and has better buttons and D-pad. It's a no brainer to pay the extra for the Lite IMO. And I was opposed to upgrading mine when it was announced. :D Once you see the difference there is no going back. |

The only thing I don't like is that GBA games stick out in Lite, whereas, it does not in the regular DS. Everything else tho, the DSLite is stunning. |
Is there anywhere to purchase a larger stylus? I would love a pencil length one because the short one they give cramps my hand.
|
I've seen some that were made like big, fat pens in stores. They were third party but approved by Nintendo (made by the same company that makes a lot of the licensed DS cases).
|
I was thinking of picking up a DS lite. Do I need any memory cards or anything? Or do they save to the game cartridge?
|
No, you don't need any memory cards, they save to the game cartridges.

Thanks!

I've seen the larger styluses at Wal-Mart.

^ that's kinda cool.
|
Yeah that was the one I was thinking of when I said I'd seen one made like a big fat pen above.
I've seen it in packs with just 2 of the big pins and no regular styluses (styli?) as well. |
If you don't care about it fitting inside the DS/DS Lite, just get a PDA stylus. They are longer and more comfortable and you can find them cheaper than official DS stuff.
|
What accessories are needed for the DS Lite? Someone I work with wants to buy one for their daughter, and wanted to know if a memory stick or any other accessory would be needed. Can someone let me know?
Thanks |
Nothing more is required. Games save their own data. Some people use screen protectors, but I don't see the need.
|
I recently switched to a Lite and the differences are like night and day. I'd definitely recommend the Lite.
|
Cool. Thanks for the info :up: Much appreciated.
|
I wish I could stick the new screen and stylus in the old case. :(
