Ok, this is just getting tiresome.....

Same for me.
All the consoles I have are the first ones and not the remakes.

i only have a ds lite cause i didnt have a phat and the lite seemed worth the extra $20.00

I think half of the reasons companies remake consoles is because it is a lot cheaper for them. If they can make a console for half of the size and charge the same price as the bigger one they are going to make more money.

This may not always be true because smaller components can cost more money but usually advancements in technology allow components to be made smaller and cost less money than a larger one that performs the same task. One example would be when the Xbox 360 finally recieves 65nm CPUs and GPUs. Microsoft is supposed to save a considerable amount of money on each 360 made with these smaller processors.

I'm looking at mine right now. Yeah it kinda does.

[PLZKLLME0080]

omg i hate when they do that. they should just make a whole new consol instead of taking one and making it smaller.

[Elmarco]

The thing that annoys me is that, most of the time, they don't even add anything new. No new features or anything. It just......... smaller and thats it.

Well you know what they say, the bigger they are the harder they fall. So maybe the fall won't be as damaging.

the ds light is ok because its brighter, louder and has a much better d-pad also the mic is in a better place.

Yeah, thats one thing i can agree with, but what was the point in slimming the PS2? Again, no added features, just reduced size.
