DS Lite

I finally got one(navy) yesterday after 1 hour walk in Ikebukuro. Nintendo seems to have shipped many DS lite this weekend, and I feel it's somewhat getting easier to find one.

Very nice

Haven't decided on a Lite yet, might stick with the original I have. Though Peach will be with shortly, oh yes very shortly (come on mail from the US!)

I guess I'm in the minority but my kid has the lite and I took back the original. I liked the screen but for some reason I prefer the older design. Now only if they made a navy one.

I've done my own screen brightness comparison test between the Lite and original DS, as when I first saw images of the Lite I was sceptical.

Camera used:
Casio Exilim EX-S20.
In macro mode.
Camera approx. 150mm from subjects.

That really is quite ace looking.

Looks like everyone's gone for navy ones doesn't it!

There's a few who've gone for white and now I wish I had.

When I first saw the navy one it looked like it had a matt finish like the original (it does on the inside faces), but it's just as 'iPod' shiny as the white one on the outside.

What's going to happen to the Ice Blues? Everyone either wants to match their iPod or go dark and sexy. I haven't heard of a single person getting pansy blue.

Got mine!!!

It's weird cos there's absolutely nothing wrong with the original DS screen. It just pales in comparison to how immensely vivid the DS lite is.

DS lite is on default brightness setting there btw, it actually goes brighter than that!!

Just got mine yesterday. Haven't had a chance to give it a go yet. I have three games on their way to me so once they arrive I'll jump in.

Not checked out the screen yet? It really is quite a thing to behold.

I also love the way Nintendo deliver them with a little bit of charge in, it means you can play it right away (which is exactly what I did after I picked mine up from the post office!

)

Oh yeah I turned it on and filled out the required info. I even have Ouendan should I wish to play a game. I just don't have time at the moment - especially since I'm sure I'll be sucked in and never want to stop

Little bit?

Mine's not run out yet and I've been playing ACWW every day since I got it earlier this week.

I turned the brightness down today, just to see how long it lasts.

Edit: The game just told me the battery was running low.

Just wondering, is it just me or does wi-fi in the new lite seem more stable?
