bit-tech Shopping: Nintendo DS Lite Gold Bundle

Rating: 10

Time with product: 6 Months

Strengths: Nice color, good screens

Weaknesses: Loose d-pad

Summary: The gold DS Lite bundled with Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is a great value, a $15 savings over buying a regular DS Lite and Zelda separately. Embossed wtih a triforce logo, the gold Lite is quite visually pleasing and doesn't tend to show fingerprints much. Unlike some problems with the crimson/black Lite, there is no yellowing of the screens in this model. However, similar issues with the Lite like a looser d-pad persist.All in all, a fantastic purchase!

Strengths: Great Bundle

Weaknesses: Hard to find now (at retail price)

Summary: This is a great bundle and a must have for all Zelda Fans. It's your basic DS lite except its gold colored and has the Tri-Force on the front of it. It also comes with Phantom Hourglass, the newest game in the Zelda series. This is a great game and is only topped (in my opinion) by Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, and Majora's Mask.

Strengths: Great system, awesome game. Takes advantage of touch screen & LAN/WiFi capability. COOL COLOR, great collector's item!

Weaknesses: Everything is great about the DS Lite!No longer available for retail price of ~$150: Very difficult to find, & if you do find it available the price is usually much higher than retail.

Summary: Once again, if you can find this bundle at a reasonable price, make sure you buy it! The gold DS Lite is a limited edition color (with the triforce symbol) & its value is only going to go up as the item becomes more scarce.The Nintendo DS Lite in general is a great system with amazing capabilities for a handheld gaming device.The Zelda: Phantom Hourglass game is much different than any zelda game I've ever played because most of the game is controlled using the touch screen. It's pretty cool, but is difficult to get used to if you're used to the traditional control style. Even so, I highly recommend this game to any Zelda fan!
