Jet Black NDS Lite

Jet black joins the Nintendo DS Lite rainbow of crystal white, enamel navy, ice blue, and noble pink. Slightly slimmer and sleeker than the swarthy girth of the current Nintendo DS, the Lite measures 133 x 73.90 x 21.50 mm (L x W x H) or 5.23 x 2.90 x 0.84" for us yanks. For comparison's sake, the original NDS rang in at 148.70 × 84.70 × 28.9mm or 5.85 x 3.33 x 1.13" stateside.

The NDS Lite tips the scale at 218g or 0.48 lbs compared to the original NDS' 275g or 0.60 lbs. In addition to its smaller size, the NDS Lite also features four adjustable levels of screen brightness. The clarity and bright crispness of the NDS Lite screen has probably been the biggest selling point - it's a marked improvement over the dull glow of the original DS.
