Any one still use the DS phat ?

[XPE]

I was just wondering if any one still uses their DS phat over the DS lite because they choose to and if so why?

I have a DS phat and the gf has a Lite, I personally can't stand the Lites D-pad and stylus. The stylus in particular I find too fat and uncomfortable and it generally just gets in the way of the screen. Also my DS is noticeably louder than the Lite.

Plus points for the Lite are the far superior finish and the much better screen,the latter actually makes me consider getting one soon as it is such an improvement over the original. Still they need to release a nice limited edition one or some better colors before I stump up the cash.

I still use mine as I can't see the point in upgrading to be honest, and so does my son. My girlfriend has a Lite though.

Me and the missus both have the original DS. Hers is pink, mine is a pre-UK release silver DS through the Stars catalogue. Both going strong - see no reason to upgrade.

I have a lite, missus has a pink phat, she prefers to steal mine unless she wants to play while i'm trying to sleep, in which case i force her to use the old one because it doesn't light up the room.

The lite is definitely better but not worth upgrading from an old one i think.

The original DS is far better for snaking in mariokart due to the superior dpad.

Just set the brightness on low, simple.
