Seriously, why bother? You know the new one is coming.

We're due for new hardware from Nintendo.

They will announce a new DS sans the GBA port.

I'm so sure it's going to happen, I sold my Polar White launch DS Lite.

So you're... eager to be rid of the GBA port?

They won't get rid of the GBA port any time soon. I think people who buy the ds version of guitar hero would be pretty pissed. I'll guarantee the next big DS version will have sort of accelerometer built in.

I can't understand why anyone, who already has a DS Lite, would spend money to buy another one just for a new color. Instead of dropping a hundred and thirty bucks on a new DS, why not use that money to buy 4 or 5 new DS games?

If you really don't like the way your DS looks, there's always skins that will only set you back 10 dollars.

You forgot the most important reason I think: You can use the second DS to access the multiplayer content of many games.

Loving the download play. I've converted lots of people that way.

These days, I use my old white DS lite for two things.

Using an Action Replay DS as a pass card, I either use my Supercard Lite to dump DS roms (not download them illegally!) or use it as a cooking timer. :p

The only reason I even bought my current Lite is because my old Phat mysteriously broke when I accidentally bodyslammed it against a door repeatedly.

I'm still using my Silver Phat DS and whenever I get a new Lite or whatever new model Nintendo announces I'll keep it around for the same reason I've had a second GBC and GBA...Pokey manz!

I'm not going to upgrade because the phat DS has that convinient GBA slot that discretely stores an extra game for those times when I feel like playing SMB3.

I bought one solely so I could trade Pokemon with myself.

Shame = 0

That would make a great euphemism.

"Whatcha doing?"
"Playing Pokémon with myself."

Extra DS?

Send one to The Moon Books Project. Our DS is held together by superglue...

When the crimson red DS hit canada I ran up there and bought one. Gave my spare DS to my gf. Now she wants a blue one, I think she's giving hers to her sister.

I love that there are people in here who've given their extras away. I keep trying to give mine to my mom, but she won't take it. Guess I'll just have to keep dragging people into multiplayer!
