Even Newer Handheld

[backin-strachan]

Nintendo have made a new handheld. Dont worry if you just bought a new DS. If you thought that couldnt get any smaller well its about to
NINTENDO DS LITE
is just a shortened down version to fit in the tightest of pockets. Bit like GBA to GBA SP

Well links below

What's the obsession with companies shrinking their products?

PS2 re-released as Slimline PS2.
Xbox controller re-released as a smaller version.
GBA re-released as GBA Micro.
And now this.

Money-grabbing mofos.

Just another way to make kids ask their parents to buy a slightly visual upgraded version even if they have one already.

Hopefuly the older version goes down in price so I can pick it up. :D

[RollerCoasterRider]

I think this is pretty cool.

Depending on the price, and how much I can get for my DS, I may go buy one....

[WACCOE]

Just a money-grabbing ploy really. :unsure:

Still looks pretty cool though!

...the future is small and it comes in a box

well unless they improve the console greatly i wont be buying. i got an original one. played it for about a month and then sold it and imported a US PSP. So worth it aswell. The DS it okay i suppose but its not the best.

[sharplayer]

The PSP in my opinion is much better, not even talking about the graphics

[mjmaskrey]

Well I won't be getting a PSP or DS....played on both but they hurt my left hand alot, and I mean shooting pains, when trying to use the D-Pad/stick and left shoulder button....don't think they're designed for a shovel-handed Adonis :p

Did you seriously want to stick with the duke? from xbox 1?

[AfroJoe]

Haha, well, seeing as I never had an Xbox, that was an issue which never bothered me. :D

[smileemptysoul]

Bigger is better. you wouldn't by a small truck with no torque why would u by a handheld thats small it makes no sences

[AfroJoe]

Because the point in a handheld is that it's portable.

What's the point in making a handheld if it looks like and weighs as much as a brick?

In the case of portable, handheld consoles, bigger definitely isn't better.

[WACCOE]

Plus, i'd want it so that it can fit in my pocket ideally. Why I don't own a handheld. :p

Id have the original DS over the new LITE though. I thought the Original was thin enough:unsure:
