Answer 2

Well the DS has the same things as the DS lite, but the DS lite has a cover on the gameboy slot. DS lite is lighter than the DS with a few more designs on it also. Basically if I were you I rather go with the DS lite.

Answer 3

Personally, I don't know what to tell you. I would assume DS lite was.. well, lighter (weight-wise), but other than that I can't see much of a difference. I'm sure the DS lite would cost a bit more, but for more information, you can check out http://www.nintendo.com/home.

Answer 5

the difference between the DS and the DS Lite.

the DS uses the same charger as the GBA. the DSL has a different connector. both of them play the same exact games - gameboy advance games. nothing older (no gameboy color, no gameboy)

the DS, when folded, is bigger and heavier than the DSL. it's easier to put a DSL in your pocket. but i don't put systems in my pocket... what if something happened?

the DS stylus is smaller, and the DSL's larger stylus is easier to hold

the DSL has the start/select buttons in a much better place, where as the DS had them in places that anyone who's played nintendo systems thinks is weird. the power button is in a better place too

the DSL has a mic in the center, the DS has the mic on the bottom left

the screen for the DSL can be made a little brighter than the DS. it also has four or five brightness settings.

the DS comes in various colors - silver (original), black, pearl, ice and pink, and the DSL comes in pearl (original), black, and coral (pink). i believe, for both versions, getting the color ice in the USA is difficult

the outside casing of the DS is nice and solid. the outside casing for the DSL feels like oily plastic

Answer 6

* Weight: 218 g (21% lighter than the original Nintendo DS).
* Dimensions: 133 mm × 73.9 mm × 21.5 mm (vs. 148.7 mm × 84.7 mm × 28.9 mm - 42% less volume than the original DS). In Imperial units, the Lite is 5.24 inches × 2.9 inches × 0.85 inches.
* Larger stylus but easier to hold.[4] (Stylus Dimensions: Length 87.5 mm × 4.9 mm vs 75.0 mm × 4.0 mm of the original Nintendo DS)
* A much more durable, scratch-resistant touch screen.[4]
* A much sturdier top hinge.
* In Japan, the wrist strap no longer includes a thumb stylus; in North America, Australia and Europe, the wrist strap is omitted entirely. (But there is still a place to tie it to it.)
* The D-pad was reduced to 18.6 mm across (16% smaller than the original Nintendo DS), but the A/B/X/Y buttons retain same dimensions and are also softer to the touch feeling much like the start/select buttons on the original Game Boy Advance.
* Improved screens with four levels of brightness, all of which are brighter than the original Nintendo DS.[4] The Nintendo DS Lite's backlight can't be switched off completely (if done in-game, the screen will appear dark and nearly impossible to see).
* Battery life: 12–16 hours on the lowest brightness setting, 5 - 7 hours on the highest.
* Retains the Game Boy Advance game connector ("Slot 2"), otherwise known as the Expansion Port. However, due to the reduced size, Game Boy Advance cartridges protrude by 1 cm at the front of the unit. To preserve a seamless surface, a hollow cartridge to fill the port is included.
* The Nintendo DS Lite mimics some of the design features of the Wii: a D-pad with lines (also shared by the Game Boy Micro) and the typeface (Century Gothic) on the buttons.
* Five colors: Ice Blue, Enamel Navy, Polar White (Crystal White in Japan), Coral Pink (Noble Pink in Japan) and Onyx / Black
* Capable of receiving Wi-Fi signals from the original Nintendo DS system, Nintendo DS Lites and Nintendo's Wii console.
* New External Extension Connection, rendering it incompatible to accessories for the Game Boy Advance EXT2 port (Power cords and headphone adapters). The power port was changed to prevent cross-use of Nintendo DS Lite and original Nintendo DS adapters, because the Lite's power adapter supplies a higher current for the more powerful battery.
* Unlike the original DS, an E-reader will fit in the GBA slot (Slot 2).

Answer 7

The main difference between the two is the size of the product and the type of screens put in both handhelds. The DS lite is slightly smaller than the original DS, and the DS lite screen is much brighter.

Answer 8
