I have an old ds from when it first came out something like 5 years ago. This isnt actually mine but its the same model and colour just my colour is a bit lighter than this, maybe its colour just faded.
So yours would be a silver model then-that's about as light as you can get. I can't vote because I find each has their own good qualities-I own all 3
DS Lite Ice Blue, REALLY hate the color... I wanted Black or White damn it... and yet some 10 y/o kid gets a Black DS...
I have all three, A grey DS Phat, A Silver DS Lite and a White DSi. Adressing the question in the title: The DSlite is probably the most popular... Nintendo still advatise with the DSlite... probably too do with the price range.
I still have my one and only Phat grey DS that i got for free from trialclix many years ago, it has served me well in game playing.
i have a white lite. i never like how the original nintendo ds looked. and since nintendo ds lite looked a lot better people may have bought it more. Nintendo dsi doesn't look that much different from the lite. but the camera and the fact that you could put a memory card right into it and listen to music is kinda a big thing. but the price is a little too high, because the games aren't any different so i think it's not worth it. but some people do and it's really all about opinion
Mine is a silver ds lite. My daughter has a pink and my son a black - maybe one of us soon should upgrade to a dsi - just to find out the difference
