I first recieved my Nintendo DS Lite about two years ago. The first thing I noticed was that it was way more advanced than my GameBoy Color and Gameboy Advance SP put together. The touch screen continues to fascinate me every time I use it. First of all, when I opened the package, I couldn't take my eyes off it. I was given the Onyx colored DS Lite and was impressed at how shiny and glossy it looked. It's extremelty smooth but doesn't easily fall out of your hand like my previous portable game systems. The next thing I noticed was it's dual screens. They both looked well built and sturdy which was good. A cheap screen would have really dampened my high spirits. Anyway, the screens are just the right size, not too large and not to small. You can see everything pretty clearly. The screens provide enough light to illuminate my entire bedroom in complete darkness which is a plus to those who enjoy playing in the dark. The only things I don't like about the Nintendo DS is that it didn't have a built in Internet browser. Sure, the new DSi has that along with a camera but it is almost exactly like the DS Lite. If the DS Lite had better features on it's own without a game, it'd be much more impressive. For example, a PSP has a built in Internet Browser, and can play audio, video, and games (obviously). The DS can't do half of those things which makes it a bit dissapointing. However, the games availiable for the Nintendo DS Lite are far better than the games offered for the PSP. While the games for the PSP are limited, the possibilites with the DS Lite are endless. The graphics that can be shown on a DS are stunning and can win over the most hardened Sony PSP fans. Overall, the DS Lite is an excellent product. Despite the fact that it lacks a few interesting qualities, it is highly entertaining and would be a wonderful gift to any person, despite their age.
