Confession time: I never owned a DS until a few months ago.

I bought an original model for my kid sister and also one for my then-girlfriend, but never one for myself. I ended up playing on my sister's model since she didn't really seem interested. And then I continued to play my DS games on my 3DS. It was only late last year that I finally purchased one for myself, a refurbished DS lite from GameStop (with Zelda markings of course )

As far as its legacy goes, I think I would rank the DS as the best system of the 7th generation. It was innovative, fresh, different, and it supported dozens of great titles from so many different genres. Some of my favorites are Elite Beat Agents, New Super Mario Bros., Tetris DS, Mario Kart DS, Yoshi's Island DS, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks.
