Nintendo DS Lite Console

Everyone's trying to slim down – Nintendo included. Witness the newly debuted DS Lite (£99), a smaller, sleeker and generally better designed model of the popular DS handheld, which improves upon its predecessor in almost every conceivable way.



From tangible weight and size reductions to a new button layout, sharper visual performance and repositioned stylus holder, it's a welcome addition to the Japanese giant's celebrated family of portable consoles. So if you haven't gotten hip to the dual-screened diversion's charms – i.e. touch-sensitive titles experienced through top- and bottom-mounted visual displays using a stylus or d-pad- and button-based front-end – now's the perfect chance.



On the downside, the machine's enhancements are more cosmetic than anything else, simply offering gamers a less cumbersome, more stylish way of getting their New Super Mario Bros. or Magnetica on. But when that's the harshest criticism current admirers can level at the unit, which will surely continue to spark sales of the deservedly acclaimed DS platform (17 million of the devices have already been snapped up worldwide), hey… Be thankful. It's not like we're looking at another N-Gage QD.

Item Is barnd new, and has all games on one chip.. My son is 7 and if all the games were seperate then he would lose them when changing them. (This has happened with other consoles)
Also buying the games on one chip has saved my hundreds of pounds as it contains many of the games he requested, and more. So fantastic value for money.
My son hasn't put it down!!

I didn't read good the information of the object.
So now I have a Nintendo DS Lite that doesn't work.
My mistake, but have now a unhappy son.

New colour to this country ninetendo ds fantastic dark blue boys or girls will love ths colour. It is two tone different inside to out.

The colours and graphics are a lot brighter than the ds,and it is not as big to hold in your hand.My son and I wanted to play different games at different times so I bought a DS lite for him.

I love the Nintendo it is great to take on travels and the games are pack in pocket size.

I greatly recommend that everyone has a nintendo!

in very good condition, very good price compaired to other uk sellers! looks really good in black and white, the wife if very happy with it! top ebayer!

i thought this item was great my son loves pokemon so this is just a fantastic christmas present good value too and got it very quickly form the us

it was broken when recieved and cost me more money to send it back. also e bay stole money from me and i would stop anyone else from ever using their service

I like that it has a range of games I didnt even know about! There is a lot of choice and buying them on ebay means they are affordable too.

I love the touch screen and am very protective of it when others try an get near it thats a big NO :-D I also love that pausing the game is as easy as closing it.

I dont like that i found it complicated to get it linked up to others.

I bought it because it was recommended to me by my bf, then having played his for a few weeks I finally saved up the money to get one.

I brought this DS as a faulty item so that I could repair the unit I had.
It was better than was described on the site, I have now repaired my console, and also have more spare parts in case anything else goes wrong with mine.
I am lucky that I have a son-in-law that can do repairs, as this is the cheaper way to get a console, rather than buying a new one.
I looked at both options when considering whether to repair or purchase new. I would recommend the repair option if you have someone electrical who can do it for you. You do need to look carefully at the write ups on items that are written as faulty, to ensure that the part you require is not on that doesnt work.

this is the 2nd ds lite i've bought they are highly addictive to play they also work by blue tooth so you can play multi-player games so although kids are to old to want to play board games with me any more this is a fab way of still interacting with them (maybe not the best or most conventional way but it works for us) generally an all round good fun console any age can play

We bought this for our Grandaughters Birthday.There are times when she has to take it off her mum or brother to be able to play.It now means that we will have to buy her brother a DS as well but we will make this a Christmas Present.
So all in all top marks to nintendo for bringing out this type of game play.It keeps her occupied for quite some time.

i love it. lots better then the first ds. its brighter and is much lighter to hold the pen is much better. great

I bought the product as my wife had been after one for a while and it made a great birthday present for her.

The Nintendo DS is easy to use and very addictive! The graphics in this game are better than expected. This model is the black one and looks stylish and grown up! It takes some getting used to after having had a gameboy but once you have spent some time on it, it gets easier.
It is a bonus that the old gameboy advance games can be played on it too. Infact I can't find anything that I don't like about it!

Helps me improve my brain while keeping kids out of my hair while im trying to do other things. That alone is worth anything.

I have been thinking of buying a ds lite for some time ,so glad i got one .They are a excellent console i rate this one over any other hand held

My little sisters have wanted this console for some time so when one of their birthdays came up I decided it would be a great present. I would mainly recommend it to younger/new console players as it is easy to navigate and has fun and entertaining games. However, not exciting enough for older, more experienced players, therefore I would recommend the PSP. Nonetheless, a great choice for entertainment!

I was introduced to this amazing little machine by my grandaughter who insisted I play her Brain Training game!! I enjoyed it so much that I bought my own ,complete with a couple of games, and have managed to reduce my 'brain age' considerably!! I am now onto Scrabble and Sudoku too. If you are considering buying one - go for it - especially you Grannies & Grandads (these aren't just for the kids you know!) - you won't regret it. Screen and graphics are very good. The only problem I had was, when hoping to play games on a long car journey, I couldn't see the screen as it was too bright and sunny!

We decided to buy the DS because we wanted to do brain training on it (and it's likely we could do other things as well). It has turned out to be a really excellent thing to use for both learning and amusement and would suggest that if it had a diary mode and access to the intranet (there is a rumour that the next version will have the intranet bit), it would be just perfect.
Here's the boy's take on it (who uses it most).
The thing I dislike about it is when you are in pictochat and you accidentally remove a game card (or GBA) The screen goes pink and you have to cut the power.
I like the DS because it has so many features (download play, Pictochat, Light effects, Options menu).

This games console is brilliant,I bought one for my sons birthday,the graphics are great and the sound is superb.
Just buy one!!!!!!!!!

Very good deal low price and quick delivery. Tis paqckage contains carry cases, and has many addional items thrown in.

I dont know much about this item except the that my teenage daughter does nothing except rave about it,she reckens it is the next best thing after sliced bred.

I bought it for my younger son who has been desparate for a DS Lite for ages. He loves the colour(crimson).
The game screen is tiny so it took our son a little while to get used to, because he is used to playing PS3/Wii on big screen tvs, but he soon got into it.
Getting a games bundle is fantastic value for money- we got a bundle of 120 games and it saved so much money compared to buying the games separately! The games our younger son doesn't want to play his brother and sister do want to play so all the games will be used also.
We love it and think anyone getting a DS Lite should definately try to get a bundle of games to go with it.
That's about it, hope this was helpful.
