It does break fairly easily, really. Way easier than it should be. But if your careful with it, you can mange to stay hinge break free.

I'm on my second DS (first one broke). The hinge is funky on mine, the triggers are messed up, and the touch screen is scratched. Well used, I guess.

Many times there are factory screw ups and the ds is made poorly so that is why some break very easily but usually you will get a good one. If not you can usually send it back for a new one.

I've got the cracked hinge, but the hardware still functions normally and the screens are in great shape.

mines not a lite, but it makes an awful noise when my bro pushes it after the limit (u can push a bit more, but i dont recommend, thats why i avoid letting my brother touch the DS), so yea it probably breaks easy, but it depends on how u care about ur DS. if u r careful, i doubt u'll break it

Of all the ppl I know IRL that own DS's, not one of theirs have broke (Even my sister, who breaks EVERYTHING) Ive heard stories online, but i bet some of them were made by sony fanboys that were bashing on nintendo, and the rest were careless brats.

I wouldn't say so. Just last week I threw my DS against my wall, cuz I got pissed, and it still works perfectly.

^^^ Ds original or Lite? I can see an original taking that kind of abuse, but not the lite.

No the DS lite is not easly broken, the hing problem was awhile ago LOTS of DS lites were getting broken hinges (some manufater problem) but now a days they are not having those problems.

depends on how you handle your ds.. if you actually throw it around and use it for stuff other than its purpose then it might break easily.. mines a year now and just minor scratches on the cover.. that's it.. :)
