i have the original nintendo ds, and i want to trade it in for a lite. i can get 50 dollars for it at gamestop, and im wondering wether i should get a white or black one. i think i want the black, but the only thing im worried about is that maybe the inside of the black ds isnt truly black, but a really dark or speckled grey. this is the picture that im looking at.

i was wondering if anyone here had the black ds lite and could tell me that this is just the light making it do this, and that the black ds lite inside is truly black. if its actually kinda like this than i think i might go with white. the other thing i kind dont like about the black is the way the screen color is so vastly different from the inside. the bright white on black just seems kind of hard to look at for me. yea so i just cant decide which one and im going tommorrow to buy it so everyone just tell me which one is better

It's black. It's even a more satin or flat black. And yes that is the color I have.

The only problem is it's just a little bit tough to keep clean. I don't know if the white is any easier, but the black just looks better.

Yeah, it has a better screen with the light.You can adjust the amount of light..The speaker is moved to the middle and bottom of the top screen..The sylus is now not at the back in the top but to your right..You can also do other stuff, and of course, its smaller. I like the fact that its black as well...

That is actually incorrect. All the DS lites are essensially the same under the wrapper.
The speakers on the DS lite are upgraded from the DS Phat though, and all the stuff shadow said. The only thing is the buttons aren't quite as 'clicky' as the phats. I honestly like it, but some people have complained about it.

My mom is trading in my old red DS for a new black DS Lite for my sister. She doesn't know it's a Christmas present :)
