GameStop discontinuing DS Lite once it sells through rest of its stock

R.I.P. DS lite. Gone, but not forgotten.

Good night, sweet prince.

It's so haaaaaaaard
to say goodbyyyyyyyyyyye
to yesterdaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy

Glad I picked mine up when Pokemon came out then! I didn't want that piece of crap DSi, I just want something with a good battery life *cough* 3DS *cough*

Thank god

DID YOU KNOW...?

DSL is only good for GBA games right now due to DSiXL and 3DS. Hopefully Nintendo will do some GBA VC with the 3DS.

This is sad and all (great system, but I'm glad I got rid of mine when they'd still give me $50 towards a 3DS) but I think we're ignoring the fact that at the top of the screenshot it looks like they're already only offering $25 each for two games that are only 4 days old!

I recently fired up my DS Lite for the first time in years. The casing still seems up to date but the small low-res screens really showed their age. I had a lot of fun with that portable (and the DS Phat before that), but I have to admit I'm one of the ones that has shifted to iOS gaming. RIP DS Lite!

Ah the DS Lite, the model that brought sexy back to the DS line. I remember the leaked images of it, and how everyone thought it was fake, and it looked "like a Macbook." Good times.

The iPod just can't compare to the DS (or any handheld). Touchscreen-only games are only good for certain genres, mostly puzzle and RTS-style games.

I have an iPod, and I miss Nintendo handhelds. I'm so disappointed in the lack of variety in game choices available on the I-devices. Most of the games are either poorly-made shovelware, or crappy spinoffs of fully-featured "normal" games (Dead Space, Assassin's Creed, etc.).

At least the DS has Nintendo's own 1st-party games to make up for this.

Apple desperately needs to enforce some quality control on their App Store. It's too hard to wade thru the shovelware to find the truly good games, which are too few and far between. I will never take the iPod seriously as a gaming device. I think Apple should start making their own games, but that probably will never happen.

*sigh*

So uh.....where's the freaking price drop!??

And thus ends the Game Boy Advance.

I had no idea that gamestop manufactured the DS lite. Good thing they didn't give up on the PSP GO in America.

Dave, how about some basic level of fact checking for headlines?

@sonofman

DS Phat can play Crysis? Bet 3DS couldn't.

Phat > 3DS...

Are you guys really that stupid? Unless those three colors are the only ones in production (which I'm pretty damn sure is not the case), only THOSE colors are discontinued, not the DS lite as a whole. See, three part numbers, three colors... Do the math...

@sonofman wrong CRISIS bro ;)

The iPhone in my book has replaced my DS Lite. Even the older 3GS which I have is more powerful gaming wise than a DS Lite plus it's a mini-computer in addition to a phone.

What the frak is with the = signs at the end of the lines? More serious than dashes?

I was under the assumption they discontinued them when the DSi came out.

Remember when Gamestop used to sell nearly every single game system, even old ones? Pepperidge Farm does.
