I've always been proud about my Nintendo DS. First, because I was one of the early birds in europe to have one. Secondly, mine was black, a colour that wasn't even offered around here. Thirdly, and most important, I bought it, when I was to Japan, making the DS kind of a memorablia to my journey. Strange that it's only been 4 years since then, because it feels like decades ago...

While not the proper geek anymore I once was, I still urge shiny stuff... like the DS Lite. And I wanted one, since when it was released, but having a working DS always kept me from spending the money.

Today I finally jumped my own shadow and bought one. It wasn't planned, but I found a cheap offer when visiting former collegues at my previous workplace. The DS screens were always to gloomy and now I realised that the Lights screens are not only bigger but just have a better resolution to. Or maybe my old DS's screens are just not functioning properly anymore.

Anyway ... I couldn't be happier. Even as I wouldn't have wanted a silver DS Lite ... ^^
