Milo Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Can someone educate me please I've been tasked with getting a Nintendo DS for Milo Jnr via Santa. I've gathered the 'Lite' is, errr, lighter, and a bit less bulky. Is that it? Is the screen the same size? Is there anything else I need to know? They seem to cost the same so I'm not sure if I'm missing out on something by going for the Lite. Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorburn Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 DS Lite has the same size screens and as far as I know isn't doesn't lose any battery life. Its just a shrunken down casing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamD Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 The Lite is a lot nice to look at and seems slightly better put together than the regular DS. I seem to recall that the backlight is better too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Yeah i've got the DS lite. The screens are far better than on the DS. The lite also has much better battery life than the old one as you don't need to turn the screen brightness as much. New one is also much smaller in the hands and has some new features like the ability to surf on it that you can't get with the old DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted October 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Excellent, thanks chaps Is it worth getting the 'accessory pack'? Not sure what's in it mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 A case for it that holds a few games is well worth it as other wise they will just lie around gathering dust and getting lost. As for much else, some ear phones etc. might be worth getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Lite is better from recollection. I bought 2 for the kids just before the summer holiday. Screen was better lit without a doubt. Only downside I could see at the time was it didnt come in pink for my daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shao_khan Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I got one ofeach - theDS lite is better all round, easier tohold, better battery life as you have more control of screen brightness, screen is better / sharper. Milo - as its for Jnr, make sure you get Mario Kart and when we finally get a TSN race organised........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergy Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 my girls have got DS and tbh battery life is Ok. Theyre also quite robust being dropped several times. I would however invest in one of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NDS-Carrying-Case-...QQcmdZViewItem. well worth it for the price and holds about 6 DS games and loads of GBA games. Great present but Im stuck on King Kong...too bloody hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
