you're an idiot. my ds phat broke within a month of using it. my ds lite has been with me for ages and i treat it as good as i used to treat the lite
The classic was a brick, I don't see any advantages with it. The lite improved it in every way. As for the durarbity they are the same niether break too eaisly (depends what people are doing with them :-\).
My phat is lasted longer with my brother than his lite. Proof-he's snapped in half-yet the phat survived being dropped, smash and, well, other un-imaginable acts of gaming torture (both are rare coloured ds's-grathite black and dark blue) I noticed that the lite's snap in the same place-hinge-right side. That is the weakest part of the dslite-if you look around eb games or second hand dealers you will find them... Also-If your in australia and you own a dogy ds-that'll be my fault-eb don't check for touch screen damage-just on and off
