My friend traded in his regular DS recently for a Lite - whilst it cost him a bit of extra cash on top, he's adamant the new screens alone make it worth upgrading. They are lovely and bright, I must say.
The fool doesn't actually like how the Lite looks.  I think it's probably the best-looking piece of games hardware I've ever owned.

This is what I don't understand about the public's mentality. Buying 2 DS (DS + DSL) is well worth the money. On the other hand, they are complaining about the PS3 price (Xbox360 Premium + additional DS cost almost the same as PS3 core).

^Don't even try to justify the PS3's price. You are talking about getting a gaming machine (360) and portable gaming machine (DS) for much cheaper than a similar gaming machine to the first(PS3).
Sure the thing has potential, but to me and many others, it isn't worth $1k. Price it at a reasonabler price (like what the USA is getting) and then I'll be happy enough.
BTW, I do agree with your earlier post, I can't see the point of upgrading to a DSL personally, but (obviosly) i disagree with your above statement.

It's just a figure of speech. If a person can happily purchase multiple DS, when he/she can only play 1 DS at 1 time. Then he/she should not complain about PS3 price being expensive. Because the basic PS3 has the same feature as Premium Xbox360 and it is roughly the same price (or even cheaper) than Xbox360 plus addition DS.
Btw, I'm not trying to justify the PS3 price. I found the PS3 to be expensive. I even found Xbox360 basic to be expensive too. I for sure will not buy any of the next-gen at launch. The earliest I would jump into the fever is most likely end of 2008. By then the wave of current gen games should die out, the next gen will have worth playing games, and the prices may also drop!!!
