Honestly... I am so happy with my DS lite that I will not be getting a DSi. I have read about the special features.. and I keep finding myself thinking.... "and?". There doesn't seem to be anything mind blowing about it. Plus, I've only been a DS owner for about 4 months... so I am still happy with how mine works! I initially bought 5 games, before I found out about the R4 card, and then I bought that and have about 500 games on that now. So my blue little gem is staying as it is. I think my boyfriend has been talking about getting a DSi. Only just cause at the moment he doesn't have a DS at all, and that is what's on the market at the moment.
I just have a shiny black one but, see this -> http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/26/nintendo-fights-breast-cancer-with-ds-lite-limited-edition-pink Very cool, nice job Nintendo.
Mine is the Onyx color... I actually bought it in a bundle with Starfox Assault and a camo skin... I didn't put the skin on it though, no too fond of camo or applying stickers to a shiny new DS lite... but that was two year ago, and now it's not so shiny anymore... don't wanna talk about it
I own 3 models... classic-graphite black (import from japan-thanks mum!) Lite-black (traded in a partially damaged...by me, white ds lite...which i won in a contest XD) DSi-black (keeps clean better XD) My brother classic-silver (traded it in for the black one-didn't need it after the next ds...) ds lite-dark blue (present from auntie...from japan, but he snapped the dam thing in half so I gave him my lite...and kept the 2 other ds's) I really wanted one of the models that had mario, luigi, peach or bowser engraved on them, but that was japan only...and all other engraved models were one off's for comps I lost in And no we aren't rich-I just don't pay much in bills to worry about money XD
Gold Triforce DS lite. Bought it on Black Friday -- ugh -- after waiting in line for hours at various locations. D: Totally worth it though. It's my baby. <3 There's still only a few little nicks on its cover... much better than previous handhelds I've had. Trust me you do NOT want to see the state my first-ever yellow GBC is in... (It still works, though. What a miracle.) Little Brother 1 also has an identical DS, bought on the same day but HE had to wait 'til Christmas to get it, mwuahaha. It's actually in a MUCH worse state than mine, though, lots of nicks and dings and scratches... Sad. Before this DS though, I've had a blue DS classic (given to little brother 2, summarily broken by him), and a white DS lite (given to little brother 2 also, swiftly broken by him). ... I wonder how long Little Brother 2's current black DS lite will last?
