There were newer colors of the DS lite that came out in 2008 and 2007. Maybe that's what you're thinking of. Its amazing how time flies... the Phat model came out in 2004, but it was arguably the most durable. It looks kinda like a fisher-price children's toy, but the good news is its also built like one so it doesn't break easy. The newer models are slimmer and sleeker, but also more flimsy. If you can get past the appearance you might agree the Phat model is just more to love.
