Do you like video games?

If so, keep it.

If not, sell it/give it away.

If you don't like it you can send it this way. I won't mind taking it off your hands. I won't even charge you for unloading it. >_>

Capitalism went out in the 1800's..now-adays if someone has something we want, we just beat them and take it. :)

Seriously though, depends on what you like. I personally like the DS. There are wayyy too many really crap games on it, but there are some really fun ones too.

The DS Lite is an amazing system. I currently have a DSi XL which I play almost every day when I have some time. You should look into the features of the DSi and the soon-to-be-released Nintendo 3DS. If the additional features don't seem to interest you, I would say keep the DS Lite. Plus, its likely not going to be worth too much now anyways as, with Nintendo's constant revisions every few months, its kind of old lol :).

As to really fun games - I recommend Rhythm Heaven, Dragon Quest 9, any of the Pokemon titles, and Mario Kart DS.

Really, there are a "ton" of amazing DS games. You should have no problem finding something you like. Just make sure to check out some quick reviews before purchasing anything because, just like the Wii, many companies have released pretty bad games for the system just because they know it will sell (due to the popularity of the system and unsuspecting/unknowledgeable parents who will buy it not knowing any better).

Have fun :)

I would say keep it if you don't need the money. You can buy used games for really cheap and it has a lot of really good games. I have one and never play it due to a lack of time but I still wouldn't get rid of it.
