I bought my Nintendo DS on or a little after the DS Lite came out. The DS had been out and about for about two years, and there are still many of the original consoles available for purchase.

Recently, Nintendo has decided to release a Web browser cartridge for the DS. However, the DS original will get its browser months after the Lite, and you can only purchase it online whereas owners of the Lite can buy theirs in brick and mortar stores.

This stamp sort of expresses my feelings regarding Nintendo's recent treatment of their DS Original customers.

NEWS EDIT: Apparently, the DS Lite has a repetitive stress disorder with its left hinge. Many DS Lite users in the US, Japan and Europe are reporting cracks in the hinge's housing. [link]

I've noticed that DS Lite users refer to the DS Original as the DS Brick, or Phatty. Yet, the DS Original doesn't have this hinge problem. Smaller isn't necessarily better.
