We owned an original Nintendo DS for two years - we bought it right when it released in December 2004. When I first saw the DS Lite at E3 in 2006, I was thrilled. The game great handheld unit design - but lighter! Brighter! Tuned! It really showed that Nintendo had been paying attention to customer feedback during those two years, and had tweaked its unit to be even better than before.First, the weight. We always *loved* the design of the DS, with its folding top. As PSP owners, I can't tell you how many time that poor PSP screen gets dinged or scratched. We had to buy extra carrying cases for our PSP and get screen protectors. In comparison,the DS's clamshell design means the screen is perfectly protected when you tote it around in your pocket or purse. The only down-side was that it was a bit heavy. With the DS lite, they keep the protection of the clamshell and also lighten up the unit significantly. It really does help a lot.The screen brightness - with it being *adjustable* - is an incredibly helpful update. Sometimes you're playing outside in very bright light. Sometimes you're playing in full dark, staying awake in bed. There are all levels in between. If you need that brightness, you don't care if you're burning up your battery power. If you do NOT need that brightness, why kill your battery for no reason? Having that ability to adjust really means that your battery works as best as it possibly can.We play several games that use the microphone, like Brain Age, and it definitely helps to have it in the center. Usually you're holding the unit with both hands, centered on your face. To have your mouth pointed right at the microphone helps out greatly with those games.In general the DS system is a fantastic handheld gaming system. We have both the DS and PSP and we play both frequently. Many of the games on the DS aren't available on the PSP and are a ton of fun. The Brain Age / Big Brain Academy / similar games stand out as games we enjoy daily. There are many other games that use the DS touch screen extremely well, giving a full interactivity of gameplay. Yes, the PSP has better graphics. It's something that the DS compromised on. They have less detailed graphics, but more interactivity. Both are great for the games they offer. So for example we play flight simulator style games on our PSP, where the high end graphics matter, and we play puzzle / platform / thinking games on the DS, where the interactivity and plot is more key.I highly recommend the DS Lite for anybody who doesn't have a DS yet - whether you have a PSP or not. It's not an either-or situation. It's like having a stereo and a TV set. They're both great for their own reasons, and most people would enjoy having both.If you HAVE a Nintendo DS already and are wondering if you should get a Lite, it really depends on how much you use it away from home. The primary benefit here is the lighter carrying weight, smaller size and much better battery life. If you're carrying it in your pocket, purse or backpack every day, I would really recommend getting a Lite. You can always give your original DS away to a friend or relative as a present, or sell it on eBay. The DSs are still in high demand and would be much loved by a new recipient.

I've had my NDS Lite for about eight months now and 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 and a small hard pouch/case to put the nds lite and 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 and microphone as well as the buttons.I have since played with a PSP and 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 and I still don't regret buying the NDS Lite - its my faithful companion that I even take to work (to play during my breaks). Although I initially bought this for myself, my wife is forever 'borrowing' it! This is where another coloured DS Lite would come in handy!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, and allows me to carry 8gb worth of games all on one cartridge! (you have to download the games, and you can download legal home brew software, but please support the game developers and *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 and 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!)

The Nintendo DS doesn't need reviews. It's the biggest selling game system in the world right now and is number 1 in every global marketing territory. It was the first games console to successfully appeal to children, parents, grand parents AND gamers.I've owned a lot of hand helds and home consoles and whilst I still feel a bizarre emotional attachment to the GBA SP I have to concede that this is probably the best console I have ever owned. The touch screen just works as a control system and it's the key to the machines cross-generational appeal. Even my own reluctant Games Widow enjoys Brain Training, the new Tetris and Wario Ware.She said she likes that she doesn't have to learn what the buttons do if she wants to play on the DS: it's instinctive.For gamers there are some absolute classic titles available. The DS entries into the Zelda and Mario Kart franchises are among the best both series have ever offered. Sonic and Bleach are much better on the DS then their home console equivalents and Elite Beat Agents is possibly the best music game yet released.Also the DS is the only handheld system currently on the market with a battery life that will see you through a transatlantic flight. My DS also holds a charge much better then my PSP. After a month without touching it my DS still had several hours of power but my PSP runs flat when left alone for a few days.The DS is quite possibly the best system Nintendo have ever made. It certainly has an excellent library of games that will provide years worth of fun for kids and adults alike. I recommend it over any other game system currently available.

In my opinion this one of the best games consoles. It can come in all sorts of different colours and I would highly recomend this with Nintendogs, Brain Training and the Essential Pack 8 in 1.I would recomend this everyone if I knew everyone. The touch screen and pen makes the Nintendo DS Lite what it is they are extremely hardy and almost unbreakable. The wide choice of games helps because there will always be plenty of games based on your favourite things weather it's vetnary equine or science. Whats more The Nintendo DS Lite can even be educational and fun at the same time with games like Brain Training.This Games console is definately value for money and it suits everyone so if your lookingfor an excellent value for money gift for someones birthday or as a present this is the one.

Lets face it, if youre a fan of the colour Pink youre going to love this cute little DS Lite.This is my very first console and when I saw that this colour was available I had to have it!What I received did not disappoint me-it was everything I hoped for and more. Its shiny, pretty and really does look like it belongs to a girl!I would recommend buying this for anyone who likes the colour pink as that alone can make you fall in love with the console and then there are so many different types of games available to use on it, that will suit individual tastes.

The DS arrived within a couple of days in perfect condition. It also included a clear protective case, spare stylus and screen protectors (which I hadn't expected). Has been used almost continuously for the last week and is absolutely fine. The case doesn't look cheap and nasty like some of them do, but has a metallic look that suits a more discerning taste. Speedy service, perfect goods, added bonus item and a great price. What more could you want?

This was bought as a replacement for an identical model which as been heavily used over the last four years and which is now a little battle worn - but still working. This model was chosen for compatability with older "favourite" games and the sterling performance of its predecessor. Good value for money and prompt delivery We are delighted with the product.

This little concole really is a masterstroke from Nintendo. It can be played anywhere. Take it on the bus to work or use it to keep the kids quiet in the car on a long journey. The stylus control is easy to use and the screen is responsive. As long as Nintendo keep releasing up to date games for the console then the life span should be a long one.

This is a definite must for all girls out there! The metallic rose colour makes it a cut above all the flat plastic cases out there and brings it into a class of its own - it is so girlie and a must for all girls buying a new Nintendo DS Lite and also for boys buying one for their girls! You will not be disappointed!

Happy with this purchase. Item came and looks new as described. I was a little skeptical purchasing a DS online as there are lots of fakes that don't work. However, this item looks great and I have played various ds games on it since purchase. No negatives so far. Would purchase from this seller again.

My son played with his DS for around 3 years until it broke. The issue is with the top screen opening and closing and kids not always doing it gently and also if one is playing and the other grabs it. However, other than that - it works really well and has a lot of games for it.

I bought this product for myself just out of entertainment. It came very quick but when I received it, it was a bit scratched on the front but it was minor and the stylus keeps falling out at the side so it’s kind of annoying but overall it works good and i’m happy with it :)

I bought this for my little one as I didn't want him to have the older brother's 3dsxl. I wasn't expecting much, especially for such a good price. The DS was like new and came with a matching protective case. This is someone that cares about what they do...thank-you.

This is great just like the old DS but in a slimmer, sleeker design!Silver is a nice change because the black, white and pink designs is what every gets so this is quite speacial (if you know what I mean)!!!!I give this 10/10 ********** (10 stars not swearing!)

14.11.2014

After my original Silver Lite packed up 2years ago due to so much play, I finally bought another one used from Zoverstocks. It's in fantastic condition and as described. If you are looking for a replacement or a new console get it from them as they are brilliant!
