The DS is a great machine. I borrowed it from my friend, and I couldn't get enough of it. The DS Lite is even better. It's only $15 more, so you might as well get it. The DS Lite's screen is brighter, its batteries last longer, is sleeker, etcetera etcetera. It's just basically better. And the DS has quite a few good games. And there are some interesting titles coming up for the DS as well. You'll never get tired of the Wi-Fi combatable games (well, I haven't).

You shouldn't defiantly pick up a DS (Lite).
