    Platform »

    The Nintendo DS is a handheld featuring two screens, one of which is a resistive touchscreen. Four different models are available: the original DS, the DS Lite, the DSi, the DSi XL.

    Do you still primarily use your original DS Phat?

    Just curious how many people out there are still rocking the original DS. I have had mine for I think three years now, and it is still going strong. I don't think I could damage it if I tried.

    I bought my DS day one and it still works even though I use it most days. I tried a DSlite but it felt like it would snap in my big hands lol

    I don't, but my brother does. It's even got a huge gash in it from where the little dipshit tried to use a screwdriver as a stylus.

    I still have my 2 phats, but I also have 2 Lites and a DSi.  I expect to add an XL next year.  I never get rid of my old consoles ( I have 2 GBA, 2 GBA SP & 2 GBA Micro as well).  However, I can't remember the last time I used the phats.

    That has to be really re-donkilously expensive, you living in Australia and all.

    Let's check the cost then: 
    DS (imported before release) $250 
    DS $200 
    DS Lite x 2 - $400 
    DSi - $300 
    TOTAL = $1150 worth of consoles 
    plus 
    110 games, likely average $40 a game 
    TOTAL = $4400 worth of games 
     
    Grand Total (approx) $5550 (about $5100 US) over 4 years (about $1400 a year) on just the DS.   
     
    Money well spent - it is he most used and most fun console I have ever had.

    I still use my DS Phat. I've been thinking of upgrading to a Lite but I can't justify paying over a $100 on a smaller version of a console I already own.
