Quick impressions as I'm fairly late to work today
- audible speaker pop on power on/off is gone, or at least much less obvious
- larger touchpen feels really nice, much more professional
- interface is same and has the same DS pic on the menu where you choose which screen you want GBA games on
- d-pad and buttons feel great, firm but not clicky
- plastic coating attracts fingerprints like the PSP
- GBA cart sticks out quite a bit, but doesn't get in the way of holding it, so it's cool
- screen brightness and contrast... :O

Thanks for the impressions. Good to hear about the D-Pad and Buttons.
And the screens brightness and contrast too!

It appears that Jonnyram prefers Chinese-ported janky, windowed PSP games to beautiful, lush 3D remakes featuring online play and free level editors--a labor of love from the series' original creator!
Tell us more of your DS Lite!

Preferring Valkyrie Profile to Rockman Rockman is sheer lunacy!
Rockman Rockman is the choice of discerning PSP owners everywhere.

I bullshit you not I just ordered a navy blue off ebay from a Japanese reseller. Total including shipping = $224.98. I expect it to ship on March 3rd.
Came this close to getting a PSP(yet again) today at EB but just can't justify it.
Brighter GBA and DS games FTW! Hopefully I can play in direct sunlight now
