Since both of my screens of my DS Lite broke, and the Touch Screen of my DSi XL, I can only play with my sister's pink DS Lite. But I want something that isn't pink, so I am asking you guys what I should do. Just answer the poll!


EDIT: New option added to the poll!

I've decided what to do. I'm going to replace the LCD-screen myself (€49,99), and I'll buy the successor of the 3DS. The 3DSi Lite XL or something.

You'll be waiting a long time, they aren't Apple and they've said themselves that they aren't doing it.

Then I will wait until the price will drop. Especially because I'm going to buy a NXT 2.0.

I have lots of DSlite repair parts. so that is definitely an option for me. And I'll wait for the revision on that 3DS.

You should probably just repair your DS Lite and then wait until about December-ish to get the 3DS.

It's not worth the price now, and by December, the demand will be so low that Nintendo will HAVE to drop the price.

Since you all say that I should buy the 3DS in the end, should I buy the 3DS for €249,99 now? Or should I wait? I really can't decide!

Wait. The 3DS is all cool and dandy, but for now it doesn't offer too many games appart from the stuff you already have on the DS.

Unless you're into playing DS games only and about 2-3 3DS titles, go ahead and get it. For me, it'd be a silly thing to do but hey - I'm not you. For you it might be the best option.

if u buy the 3ds, repair your ds lite
if u don't, repair your xl

Eeeuhm... Why? Repairing my Lite will cost me more money, since 2 LCD's are broken.

well i guess then just fix the xl
unless u got a bunch of gba games, there would be no point

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
