Well, recently my Onyx crapped out on me(thats what happens when I let siblings use my things), and well I checked out the Cobalt/Black DS lite and it looks sweet, but I keep hearing these problems about them. I hear that the screens have a yellow tint to them, and that the screens aren't as bright, and the screens aren't the same quality. Are these true? Should I just stick with a white or onyx DS?

I have a cobalt/black DS and its flawless, well i honestly had to exchange it because the first one's touch screen was out of alignment physically with the caseing, i blame the packaging (gamestop.com) but the one i exchnaged is perfect, no pixels, no yellow tint, and the screen is aligned just fine, and it looks awesome. So you should be fine with the cobalt/black one.

Yea mines pretty much flawless except for the top screen is loose, and i watched my friends black ds lite's screen break right off. I tried to tell him not to keep pushing his screen back all the way. Oh well. As long as you dont snap the screen back all the way a lot, you will be fine.

Mine has no yellowish tint to it, I worried there for awhile as well, but luckily, no problems with my lite, I love it!

Alright, thanks for the comments. I guess I was being a little paranoid, as I can just call Nintendo (with their great customer service) if I run into any problems. Cobalt DS here I come!

OMG I just snapped mine in half! vertically! I was playing and all the sudden... SNAP and I have the d-pad in one hand and the buttons in another!!! Nah, Actually I just got another (2nd I had to sell the first one to eat ^_^) I had a black and now I have the crimson/black (awesome!) and I honestly have never owned a ds with the screens EXACTLY the same tint... but I've seen them before lol. however my newest one is the closest I've ever had anyway, if you like blue more get it!!! and My friend wants a green/black one, anyone else?

Ive owned 6 ds lites( not because of problems but because I kept trading them in when there was a game drout and re-buying them) and the cobalt/black is probably the best, sturdyest, and coolest looking one I have had yet, you should get it.
