The DSL was simply a remake of the original DS that Nintendo released.
The main difference is the smaller size. Other differences are that it has a
bigger stylus (the pen thing you use to tap the screen,) The two screens
are brighter, the battery lasts slightly longer, the microphone is centered,
and it has a different charger. The drawbacks to the DS lite are that the
L and R trigger buttons are smaller and harder to press, when you put a
Gameboy Advanced game into the bottom slot, it sticks out, and Ive found
that it isn't as durable as the original DS. They both play the same games
and work the exact same way. My vote is for the Ds Lite as the better of the
two, simply because its better to put in your pocket or in your bag and
Nintendo basically took what people were saying bad about the DS and
they incorporated it into the Lite. Hope that helped.
