Breaking your DS lite in half |
Ó
Ever wondered what a DS would look like if it was broken in half? Well a frustrated father, Brian Crecente posted the following pictures over at Kotaku. What's amazing about this is that even after the DS lite got snapped in two, the thing still works.
The pictures below were taken after Cercente's son snapped the handheld in half, presumably after having a very aggravating Space Invaders game. While the hardier-than-a-cockroach thing is still playable, a closer inspection of the handheld reveals that it just won't seem to close right.
As punishment Crecente reports that he "awarded" ownership of the broken DS Lite to his son. "No. This," Crecente says while dangling the snapped DS Lite in front of his sons eyes, "is your DS now."
Hmmm... That's a nice way to teach a kid a lesson.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I refuse to let my sisters play on either my DS or my PSP. They are angry little persons, and I fear for the safety of my beloved technological wonders.
I really do.
Oh, god..If only you guys knew how close I was to doing this against the Final Fantasy team. :/
Yeah, #2 I've been there as well, the FF team are just unfair.
I would say the worse punishment this kid received wasn't the broken DS Lite but having to play the DS version of Lego Star Wars 2 on it which is full of bugs and is virtually unplayable.
a similar happened to my ds lite aswell but with some niceley place super glue it works
I heard that. Lego SW II was the game I was waiting for since it was announced. After playing it, I want to shove a hot poker up the developer's latte hole. Unfair to me! *cry*
Oh well, maybe FF 3 will be good...
this gives me the idea for a nice mod to try out, ya kno?

Its not like you snapped anything important, you broke the hindge. The wires are still there. Stop acting like this thing is god, all you did was snap plastic.
should have snapped the kid in half.
I would have said "no videogame consoles for 3 years!"
lousy kid has no gratitude for his awesome DS... how many children would love to have even a broken in half DS lite and here this kid is breaking his perfectly good one.
kids these days... not enough paddlings!
#8: I honestly can't tell if you're being serious or not. But cop on, the child is five years old and he learned his lesson. It's far better to engage a child, than to beat them. Having a broken DS given to him is a far more effective punishment than a smack, because the child is capable of understanding the cause and effect. Smacking should be used for something that can't be explained to children. It's used in the absence of another method.
Repeated news post.
Okay, I'm lost... This doesn't sound like punishment.
1) Kid has no DS.
2) Kid breaks father's DS.
3) Father gives lame but working DS to kid.
4) Kid is punished by receiving (mostly) working DS.
Hmm... Yeah, SUCH severe punishment.
Maybe you should have included more details... Did the kid have his own DS and was playing on his father's anyhow? I doubt I've have traded him DS's. I'd just have taken his and locked the broken one away where he can't damage it any further. In a few weeks, I would have given him the damaged one and told him if he breaks it further, he'll be buying his next console with his own money.
'He's only 5' is no excuse. He new full well what he was doing and didn't care.

And this, my friend, is why this world is going to f**king hell in a handbasket... God damn you - This is the exact response from the do-gooders of today who think that a stern "talking-to" will solve everything; It bloody well does not - Nor does sending an effing child to a shrink help at all. I hate to say it, but generations past clipped ears, smacked arses, wolloped rumps, caned, 'slippered', took belts to, and quite frankly SMACKED children - It was not abuse (Like PC people seem to think now-a-days!) and it was not harmful to the child - Well, apart from teaching him/her not to do THAT (Whatever 'that' is) again...
But no..... Let's just talk to "timmy" and he'll know - Won't he? He'll understand... (He's FIVE!... How the bugger does he know? But we'll just talk to him and let him carry on like this... Soon enough, it'll be someone's neck down some alley)
Bugger you all and all this political correctness gone STUPID. I hope you're happy with the world the way it's going?
The five year old was strong enough to break it?
Ahaha oh my gosh. I've always thought of Nintendo making the DS so that you could take the top screen off. I wanted them to do it because I like playing my GBA games on the lower screen the the top screen gets kinda stuck at the corner of my eye. Too bad the top screen isnt magnetic or something -_-
