DS vs DS Lite vs DSi
Monday, November 3rd, 2008Almost every handheld gaming fan knows about the Nintendo DS and DS Lite, and most gamers have tried both. The DS Lite is one of the hottest handheld gaming consoles with its dual screen play and large number of true to life games. The DS odyssey began with the coming of the original DS console, which was further enhanced and then named the DS Lite. Let’s have a look at the gap which the Nintendo DS has covered in terms of quality and performance. The DS Lite console was a great improvement in real terms.
Below are the significant modifications that were made to the original DS:
• DS Lite is 21 percent lighter than DS.
• DS Lite has got extended battery life.
• DS Lite is more rough and tough. It has got stronger top and durable LCD at the bottom.
• Brighter LCD, up to four level of brightness.
• DS Lite has got a longer stylus, and is compatible with more efficient accessories like the Madrics NDSL Stylus Pen Set, both of which make the DS Lite easier to operate than the standard DS.
• The new D-pad is 16% smaller than the DS pad.
• The Start and Select buttons are smaller and have been relocated.
• DS Lite has energy efficient processors.
• New design keeps the dust, dirt and other debris away from the console.
No doubt that the DS Lite is much more advanced than the original DS. It is just near to perfect. Of course, the upcoming and recently announced next generation DSi, could even make the DS Lite obsolete. But until that time, the DS Lite still stands for durability, performance, flexibility and value for money.
