I bought a DS Lite soon after it was released. I'd not been happy with the screen and size of the oroginal DS, and had waited for the inevitable "smaller" version. I'm glad I did - this is just a great little gaming platform. Very bright screen, suprisingly nice speakers, and so portable.
Two more DS games that I'd recommend checking out are Mario Kart DS and the New Super Mario Bros. I'm also playing Zelda - Minish Cap, but it's technically a Game Boy Advance title.
Monday night, I spent almost 3 hrs trying to get my DS to connect to my home wifi network to no avail. It just isn't jiving with my Belkin Pre-N router. I'm very frustrated. There are several good internet-enabled games, including Mario Kart, Tetris, Metroid, and Animal Crossing, and I'd really like to try out the internet play. (I only have Mario Kart currently). Have you been able to connect to your home wifi?
On a related note, Zack's DS was recently stolen - we think at his summer day camp. He didn't know it was in his backpack (they aren't even allowed to take Game Boys to camp), and he accidentally left his bag there one day. Portable also equals pocketable, so keep your eye on your DS. :)
