$140.71 to $149.66 from 3 sellers

Rating: 8.5 8.28

The Nintendo DS Lite is less than two-thirds the size of the original DS and more than 20 percent lighter. The stylus is 1 centimeter longer and 1 millimeter thicker than the original stylus and slides into a storage slot. A removable cover keeps the cartridge slot clear from dust and debris when it's not in use. The Start and Select buttons have been repositioned for easier access.

bit-tech Review

"This is exactly what the original DS should have been – if Nintendo had produced a machine like this a year and a half ago, Sony would have had a much tougher time convincing buyers to cough up £180. The DS Lite looks stunning, feels great in the hand and has a catalogue of great, if sometimes surreal games. If you’ve been putting off buying a Nintendo DS because you thought it was ugly, you don’t have that excuse anymore," - 21st June 2006

Time with product: 3 Months

Strengths: Small, bright screens, lots of available games

Weaknesses: Small screens, only one screen interactive, easy to scratch, misleading WiFi

Summary: This console is running both DS games but also AdvancedBoy games. Screens although too small are bright and clear enough.Lots of games to chose from for kids and adults. Don't be misled, the games for kids even if they are supposed to be from 6 years old can be played by a 5 or even 4 years bright kid. Having in view the long battery life (5-7 hours) it is a good way to keep your kid busy in a long trip.The black shiny surface will always look dirty and can be easily scratched. Buy a protective film for your screens otherwise they will get soon scratched (available in separate kits). The volume in certain cases (in games where you need to understand what you are told) is a little too low and with a medium quality and you might need a pair of headsets.Wi-Fi is only for playing with other consoles (don't think you are going to browse the internet - take a PSP for this) might be rather a hassle than a gain.For its price, features and available games it is a very good buy. If you don't want it for small kids and you are willing to spend more money, then PSP might be a better choice.

Time with product: 7 Months

Strengths: Cute

Weaknesses: poor design promotes breakage that I found all over in the forums yet nintendo wants to charge $60-$75 fix this reoccuring very common issue while unit is under warranty.

Summary: Nintendo fails to stand by the warranty on their product. the Product has no other damage not even scratches. As far as I am concerned you need to think twice before buying from this company.
