PunnyGuy	22. Posted: Sat 23rd Apr 2011 02:30 BST It's been a long and enjoyable time with you, DS Lite. However, it's time for more technologically advanced systems to take the world by storm the same way you did. It's been nice knowing you. Farewell.

Yeah but the eShop isnt included on the DSi only the 3DS which is why they should have left the GBA slot on the DSi and removed it with the 3DS. At least thats my thought.

They can do the same with discontinued DSlites.

I picked up a silver DS lite from Target a few weeks ago for $90 but the other colors will still at the regular price. Well if you have an GBA games that you still enjoy playing better grab a DS lite quick if you dont have a GBA or the Gameboy Player and a Gamecube. why would anyone who enjoys playing GBA games not have a DS Lite already? Besides, you can always get one second hand, And to the people that have a DS Lite, yet still play their GBA games on a GBA SP are pure crazy, unless they do it for nostalgia or because it's the proper handheld....Otherwise, with the GBA SP, you get washed out colors, crappier contrast and blacks. The DS Lite's Screen PQ and Brightness destroy the GBA's. Durp! I still use my GBA SP because it's so tiny, it's so much more portable and easier to throw in my purse than my lite, it's not that much of a difference but it does count.

That's because you don't know of the self destruction chip they implanted on all DSLites! @sunny: that's the reason i still use my GBMicro, i actually carry it around much more than my DS!

Tasuki	34. Posted: Sat 23rd Apr 2011 05:01 BST Oh well I guess I just wont get why the took out the GBA slot from the DSi for a camera. I still have my GBA SP but I only use it really to play original GB games. I also liked the design of the GBA SP.

I still have my GBA SP but I only use it really to play original GB games. I also liked the design of the GBA SP. They were just looking at it from a perspective of old vs. new, the GBA tech had been out 8 years at that point with I'm pretty sure no new games for almost 2 years, and the Gameboy name and tech had been around since 89. The DS models didn't play the original GB or GBC games, so it was only functional as a GBA player slot, they were introducing a slew of new futures with the DSi, DSiWare, The Camera, The SD card slot, the home features and etc. I wish they had kept it as well as it would have been an amazing model then, however I say it was very hard to hardwire all that stuff in the unit itself, and left little room for another slot and more work to be done on the system. Also it was just more or less Nintendo finally announcing that the GB series had died off completely now

ZeldaDSFanatic	36. Posted: Sun 15th Jan 2012 01:48 GMT Although I really want a 3DS, I think that the DS lite was the best. It was cheapest, and I think that the internet was pretty slow and no one used it a lot. Most of the games needed points, and that had to be purchased. I just liked the DS lite again, and I was thinking about buying another.

LuigiTheGreenFire	37. Posted: Sat 21st Jan 2012 20:29 GMT I thought they were still making the DS Lite. Well, it will never be forgotten, It was the iteration of the DS that sold best.
