The original DS is still a viable gaming machine
Since it's creation, the Nintendo DS original model has stood pretty strong in the 4 years since it's initial release. Although the DS Lite improves in many ways upon this earlier model, the DS is still a good system to get. The primary reason? It's now much cheaper and more affordable than the DS Lite. I personally like the original version due to it's "rounded" design, and let's face it, folks...it doesn't have ANY smudging problems! I recently got the red version of this, and I'm most impressed. I used to own a silver version, but the red is just downright sexy. My only major gripe with the unit is: The power button being easily depressed when you don't mean to, and the brightness, which is non-adjustable. I prefer this unit over the light, however, because it feels much "sturdier" than the light version. It might be cumbersome for heavy gaming sessions, but I enjoy the solidity factor here. So, if you're in the market for a DS and don't quite have the money for it's little brother, try the original model and save some money. All the DS titles will play in this, even Guitar Hero with the adapter, so you won't be losing on any gaming goodness that Nintendo has to offer now, and down the road with future title releases. Still a worthy investment at half the cost. NINTENDO DS I LOVE THIS VIDEO GAME SYSTEM. IT WORKS GREAT AND COMES WITH A CHARGER SO YOU CAN CHARGE IT WHEN THE BATTERY IS LOW. I CAN PLAY MY NINTENDO DS EVERYDAY BECAUSE IT IS SO FUN. NINTENDO DS I LOVE THIS GAME SYSTEM. BLUE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE COLORS. WORKS GREAT AND COMES WITH A CHARGER. GRrrreat Buy Bought this for my 9 year old son! It was as discribed, In great condition.Better made then the Ninetendo DS Lite. Nice, and More Reliable Than The DS Lite!! I have owned this little hand-held for awhile now. I have never owned a DS Lite but my friend let me play his for awhile. I bought this version because that DS Lite was too bright and could cause eye strain or seizures. This one is more reliable. Some people have noted that the DS Lite's Hinge can break easliy, but the DS has a re-enforced Hinge. But now my DS is becoming a little slower at reading games, i'm wondering if I should get a DS Lite or a Original DS? | |
