Lite vs. Phat: Round Three and a Half
With some questions still lingering after his conclusive DS to DS Lite comparison video, Cabel has uploaded another informative video of Nintendo's smart redesign, this time examining how it handles monstrous GBA carts, how its thickness compares to other handheld devices and, of course, the insane brightness levels. He also hands down some pointers with regards to holding the DS Lite. Apparently, coddling it like a baby isn't the way to go about it.

4. Can people stop asking when it's goin to be released in the US? NOBODY KNOWS. and im sure this would be one of the first places to find out when a release date is known, so just be patient.

1. No matter how much fun this guy makes it look, don't do drugs kids.
Really it was good to see all the comparisons. The biggest difference I see is the brightness. This one'll make an even better lantern than the old one. My (less than a year old) black "phat" ds is working out fine and will probably outlast the next ice age but I hope nintendo has an even more drastic cosmetic change planned for it in it's already announced next incarnation.
Then again, my "phat" doesn't have a fruity kitten sticker on it.
