Holy crappers that is sad thing to see!

Nintendo sure knows how to please their customers

I didnt even look at my hinges till I saw this post. And sure enough my ds lite is starting to crack. Its only 29 days old. It seems the cracks form along the ridge on the hinge which is a result of the plasic casting process.



Nintendo should be replacing them for less money or free. Its pretty clear that its a manufactoring defect and not abuse, especailly when some are cracked straight out of the box.

The only problem I had was the cracked hinge, which was like that right after I took it out of the box. I was admiring its beauty and then I saw the defect... =( However, this is the second defect I have seen on a Nintendo product after nearly 18 years of buying their stuff. First was a single dead pixel on my phat DS... which I returned for other reasons... (PSP)



However, my PSP(s) came with dust under the screen and a few dead pixels. I don't care about the dead pixels since it is only noticable when the screen is black but the dust was annoying so I took it apart and cleaned it myself.

OMG! Im gonna be sick! Seeing a DS like that, its awful!



I also noticed what seemed to be a slowly opening seem in the hinge of my DS. I swear it better not come apart, i would die.



What should I do?

simple solution if sony wont accept 1 dead pixel. Take the PSP throw it down the stairs than send it in. And the diffrences between nintendo and sonys repairs is

a. sony doesnt charge you to fix it. Nintendo does.

b. sony replaced the whole thing, not just fix whats broken.

Nintendo usually makes pretty solid products but the ds lite seems to be a lot more fragile then the original version. also it should be noted that it is dangerous to use your wiiner as a stylus. you could cause both damage to both the ds and your wiiner. it happend to me.. in my case both the ds was damaged and i had to go to the doctor and try to explain how it happened. when i was trying to play nintendogs with my wiiner i got excited and screamed ' take it *****!!" and accidentally peed all over the ds and it shorted out causing the unit to not only electrocute my wiiner but also caused the unit to close like a clamshell on my precious already electrocuted wiiner. it wouldnt haver veen as painful if i had been using battery powere instead of the wall outlet.
