Nintendo DS Lite (Crimson / Black) - Crimson/Black

Model: USGSRMKB|USGSRMKB
SKU: 8566312
UPC: 045496718077
The Nintendo DS Lite game console is now more impressive than before. At less than two-thirds the size of its predecessor and 20 percent lighter, this DS Lite is even more portable than the original. Combine that with a longer, thicker stylus and you've got unprecedented levels of DS gameplay ease. Four brightness levels provide enhanced versatility; turn the brightness down when you want to conserve battery power, or give the brightness a boost when you need extra visibility. In addition, you can now see the LED lights whether the unit is open or closed. Seeing, operating and enjoying video games on your DS is now greatly improved, making this console well worth the investment. This version of the DS console features repositioned start and select buttons for more convenient access, and the microphone now sits in the center. A removable cover keeps the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot from becoming clogged with dust and debris until the next time you play. Take on the competition and chat via the built-in wireless mode, and thrill to 3D-rendered Nintendo DS games. An included lithium-ion battery keeps gameplay going strong for up to 10 hours. In addition to all these amazing features, the sleek folding design and crimson and black colors make you look like one smart customer.

What's great about it: nintendo products have always held up well in this house
I have four kids and all of them have a nintendo ds. Older ones don't play as much anymore but still want to keep them. This one was purchased for my 8-year nephew. Even though there are newer models, this one is perfect for an 8 year old's use and the price is at 99.99 new. He was thrilled to receive his first hand held game system.

What's great about it: Cool colors, a lot of fun, EVERYTHING!
What's not so great: The only thing is the screen scratches easily if you don't use protectors, but I don't care too much about that!
You will not be sorry! I've had mine for 3 years now. They are really durable, but also they're a tad fragile. Well, it IS fragile, it's a game system! LOL Anyway, it has a nice battery charge, easy to carry around, multi-player mode, just get it you won't be sorry. You could also try the DSI, I'm getting one this week. Just remember to shop here at best buy!

What's not so great: Nothing!
I got my DS Lite today and I absolutely love it! I've barely been able to put it down. I did some research online before deciding to buy it, and I was a little worried that the screens might be kind of small, but they're perfect! It's wonderfully portable and I'm going to carry it everywhere. It's great!

What's great about it: Easy to set up, great resolution on the screen, and easy to use.
What's not so great: Screens could be a little bigger.
I bought the Nintendo DS lite for myself and my son to use and I am definitely happy with the purchase. It is a neat little hand held game console which is easy to use and to set up. The only drawback is that it does not generally come with a great number of games to play. But I must admit that the price on the games is quite reasonable. My son will definitely enjoy it once he gets a little older.

What's great about it: Easy to use, perfect gift for an older person that live alone. Who would'a thunk?!
What's not so great: Need to remember to recharge it.
We bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband's aunt, who lives alone and is getting older. She was so thrilled! I am sure it will give her hours of fun time and has applications for use to keep her brain healthy.

The ds lite is a great addition to the ds family. It has a lot of good mario games. But if you want a portable game system with lots of features, go with the dsi or psp.

What's great about it: Great price, easy to use!
What's not so great: It can scratch easily, but we bought a nice Hannah Montana cover!
My 5 year old daughter finds this very easy to use. This has become one of her favorites things to do! She has learned a few things along with playing. I do make sure the games aren't too hard for her as she is just starting to read. There are several for her age group. I would recommend this to anyone thinking about getting one!!!

What's great about it: Everything!
What's not so great: NOTHING!
Everything about this system is great! It has a long battery life, millions of games, it's portable, and it is sooooooo much fun!!! The one flaw I have with it is the way the games are set up. They are a memory card, so you can't let anyone play your game without showing them all of your saved work for the game. But overall, this system is so much fun, it takes 4 hours to charge the first time you plug it in, but after that you won't put it down! Also, if you need to charge it while playing, you can plug it in an dstill use it, (like a cell phone.)

What's great about it: Portibility.
What's not so great: Nothing so far.
I'm in my mid 40's and I bought this DS as a Christmas gift go myself. It came with the Brain Age 2 game. I can honestly say that I play this game everyday. Well, I may have missed a few days here and there, but not many. People think that video games are for kids, but this system offers lots of games that are adult-oriented. I especially like anything that challenges the brain. I take my DS to work with me and play it on my lunch break.
