I've still yet to spot this on any DS Lite I've seen..

Judging by how the cracks look, I'd say that the cracks are caused by placing a good deal of pressure down on the case.



Imagine for a second, that if you placed the DS between two books or similarly flat semi-flexible surfaces, the main point of pressure will be the corners of the DS. And in this case, the pressure gets transferred to the thinnest part right next to the corner, which is what you see there.



I'm undecided if it can be considered a design issue as perhaps Nintendo didn't anticipate people putting that kind of stress onto the systems. But then again, i can see how people could just slip the DS into their backpack between some books and through carrying it, sitting back onto the bag, etc, etc can put similar forces onto the hinges.

I call bullcrap. Like Seboa said, it's 3 pictures of the same ds lite. This retard probably busted his ds and now wants to blame someone else. He can't even spell different right.

word, and if that ds light is so well taken care of why is it all scratched up and dirty, i agree, haters!!

WAO after i saw this news i ran to check my ds and Bam crack that was the end of all because i can found the recipt but Booommm it was on my wife purse and thank GOD! i cet to my nearest gamestop to change....:P





Nintendo spend more money on your newest systems or dont do any upgrade syst.







srry for my english...

My DS Lite suffers the crack! I won't touch it till some third party comes out with a replacement shell for it! Good thing I still have my DS phat. Still, if you pay for a product the only reason it should deteriorate is from rough use from the consumer, or over a period of time that way longer than a few months. A scratch on paint, is cosmetic, a crack on the casing, will eventually get bigger, and to say it won't affect gaming, it will later on.

На первой фотке одна и та же консоль!!! Не надо порочить и пытатся запятнать Нинтендо!!! Качество большой Н, всегда на высоте. А это, результат небрежного обращения.
