Which Nintendo DS should I get?
So yeah. I'm thinking about getting one.
Answer these questions and don't just post '3ds' 
Which one looks the coolest?
Which one has the most reasonable price?
Which one do you think is most stable?
And which one has the best supply of games and features?

Re: Which Nintendo DS should I get?
Get the original DS. (The one that can play GBA games.)

Okay cool! Thanks for replying! I might get a used one for less money!
A game I want to get is Drawn to Life or Scribblenauts. And also Pokèmon Black.

I had good experience with BW on the DS lite. GO AND BUY IT!
BTW: It can also play GBA games, only the DSi and 3ds can't.
What are GBA games?

Re: Which Nintendo DS should I get?
If you don't want to go blind, I suggest a DSi XL, in Midnight Blue. Full access to the DSi Ware Shop, and has a reasonable in system storage. Basically, the XL can do whatever the DSi can do, only with bigger screens.
As for stability, the Original DS. I've dropped mine on concrete a few times by accident, still works. And you get GBA compatibility. However, good luck finding one that works just as good as it normally should.

Re: Which Nintendo DS should I get?
Okay. Looks like Lite is pretty good!
New Q:
Which is probably best of these two: Lite or XL?
My friend has the XL and he loves it....

Re: Which Nintendo DS should I get?
Which one looks the coolest? 3DS
Which one has the most reasonable price? DS lite/original
Which one do you think is most stable? DS Lite
And which one has the best supply of games and features? DS lite/original
(You can't play GBA games on the dsi/3ds, which is a bummer. but the 3ds would be a good choice once the price goes down. i bet it will, just like the wii's did.)

3DS by far.
Which one has the most reasonable price?
It depends
Which one do you think is most stable?
No idea.

3DS. You have every single DS game plus 3DS only games

Re: Which Nintendo DS should I get?
I'd say get a DSi XL. I never was a fan of the 3DS anyway.
As of now, the 3DS doesn't have a good selection of games, it's way too expensive for a handheld, and it's not flying off shelves like it was expected to.

Re: Which Nintendo DS should I get?
I know you don't want to hear it, but get the 3DS. The original DS line will likely be discontinued within a year, and you can't play any 3DS games whatsoever on the original models.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Which one do you think is most stable? I don't know, 3DS has the most memory capacity and has been reliable if thats what you mean.
And which one has the best supply of games and features? 3DS WILL have the best supply of games and features. Features: 3D, motion control, huge memory capacity for a cartridge (up to the size of SSBB), AR cards, best online function Games: Look at some previews of first-party titles like the LoZ remake and Paper Mario.
