Well, many know they look different, but they also perform differently.

DS Phat

  • Durable, less likely to break
  • GBA games fit in the GBA slot ENTIRELY
  • Screen didn't scratch as easily

DS Lite


  • Very light, easier to hold
  • Brighter screen
  • Bigger stylist, not as easy to lose


Which do you prefer? The DS Phat or Lite?
