Full of greasy fingerprints. Black looks cool but gets dirty very quickly.

White gets dirty too, especially in few hard-to-clean places. Other than that, it's perfect.

My good ol' original DS still serves me quite well.  And my hinges and L & R buttons are still fine.  Unlike SOMEONE I know!   8D

Original Silver DS FTW.

The R button is a bit crappy, and doesn't work sometimes, but other than that, it's fine.

My original grey's slot 1 is a dick all the time because one of the metal contacts got bent. when it breaks off, I'll have to solder a small piece of copper wire in the contact's place or buy an i.

Dirty, but they still work.

I'm still getting a DSi when I get the chance. Larger screen FTW.

with the cameras and crap, the DSi is like a pda that's really good for playing games on. if only it had 3G or something like that.

The hinges and L and R are fine just a few cracks not on the screen one of which I can flap but other than it works very well unlike my friends DS's that have been hacked and cracked to death.

Current playthrough: Chrono Trigger and God Eater Ressurection

Bought a special edition Pokemon DP DS Lite recently. No damage to report.

DS's, PSPs, etc aren't as fragile as people make them out to be. If people break theirs it's their own damn fault for not being able to take care of a pocket sized item.

True that, my original DS is still working properly but I have negligible self-control.   8)

So far the only real incident I've ever had was dropping it off the bed. Not bad normally, but it bounced off the carpet and slammed into the railing.

No visable damage though.

PSP wise, the only thing I'm currently worried about is that little plastic...Thingy that slides out of the Mem stick slot.

My original DS has tons of scratches at the touch screen(For tapping on it too much), damage marks near the parts where the sound comes out from(Possibly because of me clapping the DS too hard) and tiny pieces on my screens which I can never remove because of them being inside the screens.

I was really thinking of buying a new generation of a Nintendo handheld for the first time in my life(In this case the DSI), but I don't like the news that the GBA slot has been taken out.

If you have to get a new one, best to get one that's not DSi. You can't use the flash carts/roms with the DSi either. Same with PSP 3000 models that use the new mother board.

Black DS lite. Only problem is the scratches on the touch screen.

As for my original DS, the L button is useless most of the time.

Oh well, as long as my DS is functioning, I will keep playing on it.

Unless the DSI comes with exclusive DSI games, such as the recent announced Wario Ware game for it. If that happens, I will play GBA games once again on my good old Game Boy Advance.

i'm worried about the hinges. the clicking kinda scares me. they're probably fine, though. i'm more worried about my shoulder buttons. one more playthrough of a ZX game might kill them.


What happens in Vegas stays on Youtube. I also stream on Twitch from time to time.

I still have my obese DS original.

Actually it's not mine. It's my brother's.

...but it's in better condition than most lites I've seen.

Mine's fine. L button gets a little stupid sometimes, but blowing into it typically fixes that. Nothing else to report, really.

My DS is still fine and is also at the brink of being changed.

Everything's fine, except for a flickering white line that runs about 1/3 above the bottom of the top screen... >.>;
