What's different about the Nintendo DS Lite?
Should I get one or just buy a used version of the original?
I have the money; I'm just being frugal (cheap). I'm willing to spring for a new one if someone convinces me it's worth the money.

Reasons to go for the DS Lite:
It's smaller, weighs less and has a compact shape.
The system has new LCD screens with extra-high brightness.
It has longer battery life and quicker recharge times.
Available in new colors with a glossy finish.
The microphone is in the middle between the two screens instead of at the bottom, making it much more practical.
EDIT: To above answerer- both the DS Lite and the DS play Gameboy Advance games

DS lite is much better because the screen is much more bright. Also, it has a smaller size so it can fit in your pocket as opposed to the fat old one!!! Get the Lite!!!
