Advantages: Fun, easy to use, great features, great games! Disadvantages: Once you pick it up its hard to put down
I own 2 DS Lites, my son has one and my partner does, they come in a great range of colours Black,White,Pink and the newer Blue.

Its also very durable my son has dropped his on tiled floor, sat on it and god knows what else and its fine, its also very easy to keep clean.
