I'm looking forward to the DS Lite myself, and will be taking this opportunity to obtain it, as I never got around to getting a normal DS.

To be honest, I had no idea about this Lite version of the DS. It has a brighter screen? God, my current DS is blinding me enough, so I don't need more light flashing directly into fragile eyes. My thoughts are: if you already got one, don't buy it. But if you haven't got one, then now is the time to buy one.
Heres an awesome video comparing the screens and sizes of both DS systems. Check it out.

You all think that these upgrades are worth 150 dollars? Or do you just figure since your parents know nothing of the 'system hullahbaloo' that you can easily ask for one without having any concern as to what it is costing them? I suppose if you do not already own a DS it is an intelligent choice over the original, but if you have one....
Yes. Good thing retailers are pricing it as $129.99, though. And I'm sure many of us have jobs and purchase whatever the hell we want with the money we earn. Now unless you have anything else to add to the thread, we understand your dislike of the new DS Lite, you do not need to remind us in every post. Thanks.Originally Posted by Slim
No offense, but a video game such as nintendo's main audience should be children. Unemployed children. I happen to be employed and hate nintendos constant remake of a system. Optimize your system before releasing it, its all a sales hoax.
How do you even figure that?
I figure that because nintendo is clearly aimed at younger children because of the games it releases. It is clearly a childs system. How many first person shooters can you name that are exclusive for the GCN? For ANY nintendo system? The sports games even suck on nintendo systems. The main characters are normally childish looking as well (pokemon, every mario character, NINJA TURTLES, POWER RANGERS!)
Nintendo is marketing more to the mainstream than a niche of children who play video games. And does it really matter if kids buy a DS with their parent's money? The system had already been refined before its release. It was playable with no real problems. A smaller, lighter version of the DS with a brighter screen would have cost more a year ago. It's common business practice to move ahead technologically to further demand for a product. Are you against cell phone manufacturers releasing new versions of their phones every year? I'm assuming you want Nintendo to fail because that's all I'm getting out of your posts.
I love nintendo, because quite frankly I am very childish in my taste for games. Like I mentioned before, name a nintendo exclusive FPS. I mentioned nothing on how well a system works, I am saying optimize before releasing.
Metroid Prime 1/2/Hunters.
Halo, Halo 2, Black, Area 51, Brute Force, Call of Duty, Call of Duty 2, Counter Strike, Doom, dare I go on?
If we're talking about exclusives, some of those games have come out on different platforms.
It's known that Nintendo hasn't had the best third-part support since the SNES, and that their systems haven't been havens for FPS or sports titles, but they're trying to rectify that with the DS and especially the Wii. I still don't understand what you mean by "optimize".
op·ti·mize
1. To make as perfect or effective as possible.
2. Computer Science. To increase the computing speed and efficiency of (a program), as by rewriting instructions.
3. To make the most of.
Also,
what does Wii mean? Revolution made more sense and was a way better name.
This new DS has the same hardware specs (aside from the brighter backlit screen) as the old one. You can't expect Nintendo, or any company for that matter, to look into the future and assume all design possibilites at the beginning of a products life cycle without revision.
