Let's try and get a comprehensive list of features on this as soon as possible. There are still a lot of things that haven't been talked about yet. Where's the power button? And does the stylus look bigger to anyone else, or is it just because the system itself is a lot smaller? 66.41.212.243 07:47, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks to a different placement, the power lights are now more visible when the clamshell is closed
The powerbutton is positioned on the back of the device. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.80.103.98 ( talk • contribs) .
No it isn't, it's positioned on the right side of the device. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.4.67 ( talk • contribs)

I was told by a nintendo promotional officer, that ds lite came with a small 4g hard drive. Havent heard word of it since, but still want to check if true... Anyone know?
Seems that someone is unable to see photographs, or never seen a Nintendo DS for real. The face buttons are A/B/X/Y. So the phrase The layout of the controls has been adjusted slightly, with the Start/Select buttons being moved to below the A/B/C/D buttons is wrong. -- Olpus 01:23, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
Is the DS Lite really going to have no thumb strap? There are a lot of games where using the stylus would be much harder, Mario 64 DS for example. I think the article should mention that too. 87.254.64.74
I haven't heard about a thumbstrap. What is it for; do u really need it??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.9.77.16 ( talk • contribs)
Well, mine came with one, so I think it's safe to assume the rest include one, too —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.131.85.208 ( talk • contribs)
Mine didn't come with thumb strab and I'm a UK customer -- MrBobla 08:11, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone who speaks Japanese or is in Japan happen to know if stores in Japan have started taking pre-orders, or at what time they intend to open on the day of the launch? Not talking about import stores like Lik-Sang and Play Asia though that might be worth mentioning too.

This is the funniest thing I've read all week. It states that the points of a compass will still point north, south, east, and west. That's like saying "the DS will also obey the laws of gravity"
Do with them as you please. Duo228 23:55, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
To save the time of writing "DS Lite", thereby appeasing the masses, should we start referring to the Lite as the LDS? DSL is obviously taken. This isn't relevant to the article per say, but could be if the term becomes widespread. Or not.
I'd like to see the crappy DS lite pictures removed. They don't do the system justice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nintendo_ds_lite_front.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nintendo_ds_lite_back.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nintendo_ds_lite_top.jpg
They seem to be some kind of prototype. Shall we remove these? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xren ( talk • contribs) .
I'm with him. In fact the whole picture gallery is pretty unorganized and ugly in general. We need better photos. 66.217.163.90 01:29, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
That's fine, but the picture there stinks since it's doesn't look anything like a photo. It looks more like computer concept art with plenty of photoshopping. Can't we get a decent actual photo of one of these? Narcissus 07:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

As said above, I added a color section where I moved the pictures of the navy and ice Lite. I also added a few pictures to the gallery. If anyone doesn't like it then please say so.

The article needs to be updated to mention its release in Japan (to massive supply shortages and only one colour available). Does it still need the "forthcoming product" tag? Tphi 15:15, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Someone should find a definitive release date for the DS Lite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthony Leppert ( talk • contribs)
I'd like to point out that the Tilt-Sensor is NOT an accessory. It is built in to certain GBA Game Paks, and used only in those games. I think it's just Warioware Twisted and Yoshi Topsy-Turvy. I don't believe that a technology built into certian games should be counted as an accessory. That's like saying that the clock is and accessory for the Game Boy since it was included in the Pokemon Gold and Silver games. -- Grant 20:16, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

On February 15th, 2006 there was a http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2006/02/15/ (press release) by http://opera.com/ (Opera software) stating that they would port their browser to the DS allowing people to surf the net with Opera on the DS. Would it be informative to add a little information about this on the DS lite page?

Agreed, if anything, it should be in the DS article not the DS Lite article, also, the GP2X is NOT a competitor, it is a homebrew console, while DS is commercial. -- Mishy_dishy 21:43 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Please leave the picture as it is because that is the most common image for posters. I just replaced an image that was already in the gallery. Before editing an article can people check around in it first? X360 06:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know if the screen dimensions for the DS Lite are the same or different than the old DS? I think it would be a good pice of information to put on the page. Rembrandt 06:16, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Would it be appropriate to add a list of what actually comes in the box, now that it's been released in the US and people actually, like, know? Mostly I wonder if the fact that it doesn't come with a wrist strap (or, more to the point, a thumb button) is something that should be noted. User.lain 05:17, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Don't know how to do it, but using an image with the name "IMG 0284" isn't ideal. Can the image be renamed? --

I still don't think that excuses the dustbox [ [4]], and I still want to know why there are no logos on the DS picture[ [5]] Sonic Hog 20:20, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
I have both a Nintendo DS and a DS Lite and I took some pictures comparing the two to each other and looking at the differences. I'd be willing to put the pictures on this article if it helps with differentiating between the original and the Lite. What do you think? Would this be helpful? -- Passerby Cat talk cat 03:44, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
The images we have are to be used until a replacement is avalible, and one is not. The pictures illustrate important points about the DS, and not free image I have seen does that while not looking unprofessional. I am putting the gallery back, and nobody should delete the pictures unless they have a useable replacement. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Aido2002 ( talk • contribs) . P.S.

"On June 14, $18 million Hong Kong dollars ($2.8 million USD) worth of black DS Lites were stolen in Hong Kong."
The reference for this quote, which is marked as "16", leads to a site completely in Chinese. Has anybody got a reliable English source that could be used there?

It should be noted that the given Release Dates are "official" ones. For Europe it says "23rd June, except 22nd in some countries". However, i bought my DS Lite in France on the 21st already. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.99.27.230 ( talk • contribs) .
At the end of the article, it says that a BLACK DS lite shipment had been stolen, yet in Nintendo's response to that, they say that WHITE lites had been stolen... Which is it? DarkCat 23:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps it should be noted somewhere in the intro that the DS Lite is offically replacing the original DS and will become the standard, and is designed to compliment the Wii. -- Joeblack982 08:56, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
I removed the following paragraph from the article, as I don't think it's necessary to mention a sale. (If it was, should we then have details every time about when every store has a sale on the DS?)
When released to the US and Canada, those signed up to the Nintendo Newsletter received an email about the Nintendo DS Lite announcing that you could buy the Nintendo DS Lite and the game Brain Age for the price of $129.99. This was a sale for Father's Day, which was then 7 days away.
