Excellent fun for all ages! - By: Sood, 28 Oct 2008 
I've had my NDS Lite for about eight months now & have never regretted buying it. I was initially put off with the bulky original DS, but after seeing an NDS Lite thought I would bite the bullet. I also bought an external see through case/skin & a small hard pouch/case to put the nds lite & its peripherals into it. If your going to spend this much money spend a little more to protect your investment. I'm glad I did - Ive dropped this a couple of times onto the floor some time ago (not recommended!), but the hard crystal case/skin (which i bought separately) appears to have saved it.
The NDS Lite itself is incredibly addictive many games use the touch screen stylus & microphone as well as the buttons. I have since played with a PSP & been overawed by the PSP - the games on PSP look way more better than on the NDS, but again Nintendo have got the mixture just right & I still don't regret buying the NDS Lite - its my faithful companion that I even take to work (to play during my breaks).
I hate carrying all my cartridges around with me so I ended up buying a m3 ds real, a flash cart that you use instead of the game cartridges. This is a bit if a grey area as although it doesn't invalidate your Nintendo warranty, its usage is frowned upon as a lot of people use it for piracy. But its advantages cannot be denied - Ive got a 8gb micro sdhc card which slots into the m3, & allows me to carry 8gb worth of games all on one cartridge! (you have to download the games, & you can download legal home brew software, but please support the game developers & *only* download the cartridges you own). I tend to find prices on play.com very good for buying nds cartridges. The m3 also allows me to play video, music & pictures on the NDS Lite - something Nintendo should have done ages ago.
Also with some games you can actually export your saved characters onto the Wii!! For example Pokemon Daimond/Pearl on NDS to Pokemon Battle Revolution on the Wii!
If your debating whether or not to buy - just buy it, you wont regret it! (Now all you have to do is choose what colour you want!)
cool timez - By: jan'd, 12 Oct 2008 i've got few nice games & 1 cool one i've also got some GBA games the ds has scored 10/10
Great console - By: Onewithall, 07 Sep 2008 This superbly designed console is great. One of the best features is the four adjustable brightnesses. I play on the third brightest setting which for me is really ample & the battery seems to last forever. Charging only takes a couple of hours too, & the power indicator lights are so stylish. The durable touch screen works well, the sound is good, & online wifi games are tremendous fun judging by the one I'm playing (Animal Crossing: Wild World - so addictive, especially if you play online with others - there's a varied demographic to play with too - the DS seems to appeal to all ages.)
The white DS doesn't show up fingerprints & stays clean. It's really satisfying to insert the stylus into it's hole.
I also own Touch Golf & New Super Mario Bros. & I'd recommend them both. Make sure you get a case for your games though because the cartridges are tiny!
Late to the party - but yes, it's good! - By: Jl Adcock, 13 Aug 2008 
Having religiously avoided computer games since the early nineties PC version of games, buying this impressive little piece of kit was a revelation. Bought with the popular Brain Training software programme, we've used this everyday on a recent holiday & had good fun with it, proving that families can indeed be brought together for fun with technology rather than becoming uncommunicative zombies!
The DS lite is well-constructed, & seems to have an excellent battery life, making it ideal for travel. As far as Brain Training goes - well the novelty wears of pretty quickly, although the temptation is always there to have just one more try to get your brain age down to a respectable number. With seemingly endless other games available, I suspect we'll be buying additional ones before too long. For once, I can see what the fuss is about.
Get it if you don't mind having headaches - By: O. M. Aszkenasy, 05 Aug 2008 
I got thisin 2005, a proper DS, not a DS lite. I love it, but there's only 1 complaint it gives you a headache after about 20 mins. I go on & off it, one time I'm using it a lot & then it liesin the cupboard for a few months. I love video games so I don't moan about the DS much.
P.S. I want lots of fun language coach games for it, I like learning different languages.
