    My lite was stolen =/ never had an original. I was really depressed when I realised it had gone, I had a few games on my shelf and then realised what had happened =/

    I doubt I'll get one though.

    No. It's not backwards compatible with the GBA unlike the original DS and the DS Lite so I am not buying one.

    It's funny how on the day after i bought my DS Lite, those rumors about another DS began to surface, i didn't pay much attention because at that time, i thought it was all false but i guess i was wrong and the DSi did happen. Do i ever regret buying a DS Lite? No, i have never been this happy with a handheld system.

    Maybe. I really like my DS Lite but the small features and upgrades of the DSi do look sweet. Maybe not enough to buy a new system for, but, knowing me, I will probably get one in the next year or so.

    Mighty Flip Champs is a pretty great DSiWare title, and Reflection is looking good. That said I haven't gotten a DSi myself, since I'm pretty happy with my Lite, and because i've got some GBA games I still need to play.

    Apparently Korg DS-10 Plus will have features on the DSi not available to the lite. This makes me incredibly sad and now I'm not so sure what I want to do.

    I've never even held a DS of any kind, so probably not. I don't like taking chances when it comes to gaming.

    My DS Lite needs to be replaced -- the A button's pretty much busted, and the L trigger doesn't always work. I would get another DS Lite, but seeing as the DSi has the whole DSiWare thing (the Art Style games for that service look pretty fun), so I figure I might as well buy one of those instead.
