Would it be stupid for me to purchase a DS now?

[tfinch2]

I haven't really haven't had an urge to game in awhile, but the more I read about the DS the more I like it and want one. Should I wait for the lite or get a regular one today on the way home from work?

 

[Vortex22]

I'm probably gonna wait for the lite myself, but if you want one go for it today.

 

[Amplifier]

wait for the lite to come out

 

[Atlantean]

Wait for the lite.

 

[everman]

Lite comes out in less than a month, pre order one with mario kart.

 

[Lorax]

i'd say wait but that's hard, with new SMB out and all...

Heh I'm like very anti-portable gaming ... but the new mario bros and the new zelda coming out have me wanting a DS. I'm personally waiting for the lite. It comes out June 11th for $129.99. I know a few people who arleady have them and say they are much better designed than the previous one and they are definitely worth waiting for.

I'm not in a real hurry to play Mario ... well actually I am, but I can wait. You can find import DS Lites for $200 if you want one badly, and they are region free. But I'm waiting 4 more weeks to get it in stores.

and its more comfortable, has a better design, has a longer stylus pen, and the games sit flush in the bottom of it.

 

[purbeast0]

and it's smaller ...

here is a video review comparing the 2 side by side ...

i like the design on the orginil DS and its comfotable enough for me. though a longer stylus would be good.

besides teh brighter screen i see no other reason (yes the brighter screen is great).

The new DS Lite makes me want to buy another DS. I just sold my DS too.

You can preorder them from Gamestop or Gamestop.com 25$. I just got my enamel navy DS Lite from ebay and it was very much worth it.

 

[StevenYoo]

get the lite

 

[Schfifty Five]

If you do wait for the Lite to come out, you could easily get an original DS for really cheap, I'm talking $50 for a used one.

tfinch2, you are the latest of many AT'ers that are waiting on the DS Lite and want to play SMB. I've noticed this multiple times lately on AT. Oh, and count me in the "I want a DS Lite, SMB, and mario kart" crowd.
