Getting a ds lite soon :)

So, I will probably get my ds lite on friday afternoon, it is a white one and I'm getting Mario Kart DS also.

I've been watching videos and reading forums, and I just wanted to ask, is there anything to do to prevent the white ds lite buttons turning yellow? Many people say that they turn yellow soon :( . Anyways, I'm reallywaiting for friday to test the ds lite :D

welcome to the club... i have to exchange my dslite for a new one because when i bought it the battery was defected and melted my ds!! >:(

so anyway they said that they would exchange it for free for a new one and i should be getting it friday.

The yellowing of the buttins only occurs for some people. Its all about the chemistry of your body, seriously.

If you perspire yellow paint from your index fingertips, then it will happen... i've seen it happen ;)

hope you'll have fun w. ur new ds lite ^^flowerpedal

Yep... it's true... your body can make some funky chemical reactions happen. Some people have different Ph levels (acidity& alkaline levels in your body)... you might remember a deoderant commercial from the last ten years where they say that women's Ph levels can differ drastically from men...

Not everyone's buttons are going to change color, but some will. Your hands will do some nasty things to a controller... look at the finger cheese that builds up on the base of the thumb sticks on a well-used controller some time! :P

(Sorry to convey that nasty image if you're eating right now... P.S. - I'm not a doctor, I just play one on this gaming forum... for further information on your body and the corrosive sludge it produces, see the Google-meister.)

I actually bought my ds lite used, it's a white one, besides the casual dirt that is easy to clean off, I haven't noticed a whole lot of discoloration despite all the use. That was one of my worries too of getting a white one..but heck I'd be more concerned about a hinge crack...but that's just me :)Skyfaze

Yeah, I saw a hinge crack once... Only a wire connected the two peices...

It still worked! Truly!
