Doesn't the original DS also have better speakers in comparison to the DS Lite?

ok, i think that the phat ds is way more comfortable, the lite is too small and harder to use, but other than that ds lite is a bit better

I don't know why anyone would make a thread like this, of course the ds lite is going to be better then the phat in most way.

Yeah, the sound of DS Lite is a bit more tinny (is that a word!?) than the DS Phat Speakers. DS Lite had a LCD screen but the DS phat doesn't. I actually like the DS Lite more in my hand. The Phat for was too fat for me. (ironic)

insectoid said: I have a question. this may sound dumb but does the ds lite have inbuilt wifi or am I going to have to buy something extra?

gdmatt said: you need to buy something extra
but the wifi is pretty good quality.



Ummmmm... The DS has Wi-Fi built into it. To Play online you need a wireless router or the official Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector.

I dont why this was answered incorrectly before but yeah the DS lite has in built WiFi. You will of course need a Wireless Access Point to connect on the net, or alternatively you can connect directly to people near you.

I must say that I think it's so completely ignorant for someone to say something like this in light of what has already been discussed. I think there is more than enough information in this thread to have warranted this discussion.

You sure did!!

The original DS HURTS! I was half tempted to bin it... freaking little censored...taunting me with games it made far to uncomfortable to play.
