13) The volume switch is now white to match the console.I don't know what version of the original DS he has, but mine the bottom part IS black so it already matches...
I bought a DS Lite after my wife kept stealing my DS and Brain Age. I'd get on the train for work and my DS wouldn't be in my backpack.I did trade in credit card reward points for a $100 Circuit City gift card so that the DS Lite only cost me $37. I did the same thing for my DS when I got that, so two DSes for about $70, I think that isn't a bad deal at all.
I find that the sound on the DS Lite is just fine, but I do notice that the volume levels appear to be different between the DS Lite and the DS; the DS Lite appears to be a little louder at a lower volume setting, perhaps accounting for the muffled audio complaints from some users.As far as the directional pad, I find it to be quite a bit more responsive than the older DS.
I still wait for the day that my Ti-89 Titanium has a touch screen and I need a DS Lite for AP Calc.I might be able to justify spending that much on a DS Lite at that point in time.Not that 130 is a lot of money, just I don't have a job currently.
I'm not sure why plague64 was dugg down. I have a DS lite and I must agree with everything he said. Especially the last one. Perhaps, plague64, you DO have to explain that one, but I'll do it for you.WII AND DS CONNECTIVITY WILL BE WIRELESS. There will be no special port, and why would Nintendo render all of the normal DS systems not usable with the Wii? Stupid, Stupid article.

It seems more like of list of 13 changes rather than improvements.

yeah it does say "Top 13 *Changes* & Improvements to the DS Lite"But it's the originals poster's fault for incorrectly tittling the post.
