Advantages: durable, variety of games

Disadvantages: stylus can be broken quite easily

I bought my Nintendo DS Lite when they first released and it has served me well. Having owned one of the original DS's I knew that the games appealed to me and that the console was good value for money, I wanted a DS Lite as they were more appealing to the eye.

I had my DS Lite for three years, within this time frame it suffered numerous drops and was used frequently, before it broke. The piece on the end of the hinge in which the power light is displayed fell off and my usual approach of superglue to fix things did not work. It still played games and was usable apart from the fact the top screen did not stay still.

I had just about abandoned hope when I discovered it was possible to buy a replacement casing for the DS Lite. I had always wanted an orange DS Lite but to this date they have not been sold in the UK so i promptly bought an orange replacement casing and special screwdrivers and set about trying to replace the casing. It was harder than anticipated but with help from my neighbour the replacement was successful and i now have a fully functional orange DS Lite.

There is a wide range of games for the Nintendo Ds Lite with more being produced frequently. It is a handheld console suitable for all from the experienced gamer to the novice and provides great fun for anyone.

Summary: A great handheld
