I’ll just get right to the basics! I have a DS lite, it is pretty old I’d say a couple years. I barely ever played it but recently I found my brother’s "The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass" Game and have really enjoyed playing it.
Previously I only ever really played it a little bit when either
(A) we went on a road trip or
(B) I bought a new game.
With the game came the new discovery that my old DS lite is still working fine, but it has a color problem every so often where things like blues turn pinky orangy on the top screen but go back to normal if I put a bit of pressure on both sides. I don’t THINK this is a problem though!
I figure if I find a few more fun games, I’ll play more often! I was just wondering if it would be worth the upgrade to a DSi. My friend has a DSi, and it seems pretty cool! Now- finally getting to the question:
Please if possible, compare the pros and cons of upgrading, and tell what the new features are and which features are gone. If you want, please also include some of your favorite DS games! Lastly, please state whether you think it is worth the upgrade.
Thank you so much for any opinion, short or long!
Wow. Honestly, I had no clue there was even going to BE a 3ds- I was waiting for a a new ds version but hadn’t heard anything.
Thank you SO much!! Now I just have to wait until it lets me pick best answer 
The only downgrade I know is there is no GBA game slot- which I use for guitar hero and my old GBA games.
Well, I have had a DS it was very fun and I loved the games. My sister recently sold her DS and bought a DSi and it is awesome! Let me tell you about the features that I think made it better than the DS.
First of all, by getting a DSi you are not downgrading at ALL!
You can also take pictures with the DSi, which is a huge upgrade
Using the DSi you can record and morph your voice- this can be a lot of fun!
You can also surf the web if u can find an Internet connection.
All of the games that work on your DS will still work on the DSi too.
Mario karts is a reallly fun game if u don’t already have it.
Girl im serious when i say save your money and wait for the nintendo 3ds.it will have a 3d screen that jumps out to ya.and it has everything dsi will.but save your money girl.

i think that you should just get another ds lite it has everything a dsi has but a camera which i think isnt that good but you do what you think is right.
