in australia the ds lite is $199, and the original DS is around $179
with mario kart bundled.. there is no choice but the lite, really, as
once you play it you will see how badly lacking the DS was in many respects

here we have a demo version of the brain training game bundled, which is
a complete waste of time.. at least the original DS got the metroid
demo, which might've been worth playing! i wouldn't expect any official
nintendo ds lite game bundles for a while.. from what i can remember the
mario kart bundle hit the shelves here just after they announced the ds
lite.. probably a stock dumping exercise

In COMPARSION, yes. The original screen is fine. But the DS lite
screen is one of the best EVER for a handheld.
