All the other ones I thought it was becuase I droppped it or something, but this one I haven't dropped even once. The only conclusion I can come up with is from playing metroid, but I NEVER had that problem with the original DS. Is there anything to do except send it in to nintendo? Waiting 2 weeks to fix this stupid thing for the 5th time is driving me nuts! To top it off 3 GC's and my Wii are broken too :cry: Before you go all "lol u abuse teh systemz!" then let me say that I have an X-box, a PS2, and a PSP and none of them have broken before. Either I do abuse them and the nintendo ones can't handle it while the others can, or nintendo just has faulty manufacturing. This sucks -_-
I have had every nintendo system since the NES(accept micro, lite) and i havnt had one problem, i think nintendo puts out great quality.mitchconlin
It's only the new ones I've had problems with that I know I didn't do. The first GC was from a pawn shop and the second one my little brothers played with all the time, so they might have done it, but with the Wii and the DSlite breaking, seems to go along with nintendo's new "make it look better" thing. I'm going to request getting a different color this time and hopefully that one has no problems, but still. The original DS worked fine until the Lite came out :|
Not sure what to say about that. I have two DS lites (I use one and my wife uses one) and in the family we have another 3 that I see a lot as I game with family members. None of us have had problems like that at all, sounds like there might be more to the story as you stated some possible reasons for your problems.
Lol, the DS Lite has a lot of problems if you count things like dead pixels and cracked hinges. But when it comes to something that affects the gameplay itself, it is rare. I heard that there were a few batches of DS Lites that had problems with shoulder buttons. Thankfully Nintendo has an AWESOME warrantee service. If you live nearby, you can drop it off and get out within a minute, 2 tops.
How about the thought that these are people that work for sony and make the hinge cracks and everything seem worse than they actually are?Xx_King_Beef_xX
Why would I be on GS if I worked for sony? :?
Anyway, I'm hoping to get a new color after I send it in this time since only me and my mom's white ones have problems. My little brothers black one is fine. Does anyone know nintendo's policy on that?

"Maybe nintendo dosen't like white people. >.>" ROFL! :lol: :lol:
anyway, I don't really have a response to the "lol fakeboy" comments, but I'm not one. I think I just have some really bad luck with nintendo consoles >__> At least they replace them, I just wish they would fix it since waiting sucks -_-

Don't worry about it, I expected alot of comments like that after the thread I made about the Wii getting disk read errors, so I was prepared to weed through a bunch of responses like that.
wow, this topic made me realize that i have owned every nintendo system except for an SNES,
ive even gota Famicom edition Micro sitting in front of me, and i bought a used n64 awhile back so i could play perfect dark. (system, 20 great games, 20 dollars, eat my heart out VC)

ROFLMAO you're one of the unluckiest people i've read about. and i don't get it, does GS have something against sony?
One of my friend's hinges cracked because some people think its funny to hit the screen like some basketball. His hinge has a chunk missing from it.
My DS lite on the other hand is perfectly fine.

My friend did that when he was playing Phoenix Wright. >__> I was kinda mad at him... I assure you it's not mistreatment though! :( OBJECTION! Isn't it considered mistreatment if your friend was hitting the screen like some basketball though?

Maybe someone you live with has been playing it. Sometimes people who don't play games alot are super hard on their controllers (or handhelds). They get all tense and give it all they got on the buttons. But if you live alone that's just weird.

Isn't it considered mistreatment if your friend was hitting the screen like some basketball though? Yes, on the screen. However, the screen has not been damaged much, and has not broken yet. It is only the L button on this particular one for now. *life bar goes down* Muahaha!
I do not live alone, though my family all has DS's (and now DSlites) so I can't figure out who would be playing it without me knowing....

It's crazy just how much trouble are having with not only faulty units but consecutively faulty ones, what the hell is Nintendo doing?Articuno76
I think the problem is with nitnendo's repair service, since my brothers' DSlites are fine, and only my mom's has the hinge crack. My launch DSlite took a while before it broke, but all the ones I get back are breaking in a much shorter period of time, save one of them which lasted 3 months.

They should just send new ones back as replacements, at this rate it is probably costing them an arm and a leg to keep sending faulty units back and forth.
would you like some cheese with that whine???????(crybaby) lol yeah, I've had the same problems with my lite too, I've had to send it in to nintendo 4 times too, and guess what? it still isn't fixed!!!!!

he can't work for sony he just gave nintendo arownd 500$ for 5 ds lites
I found that if at any time somebody gets ahold of your stuff when you arn't looking. IT WILL BREAK! Most of them dunno what they did, and most of the time they didn't even do anything wrong! It's the electronics. *shifty eyes, eeree music* Everything does it, computers, DS's, other electronic devices, they know when you arn't looking and that's when they attack.
Seriously though, this situation occers often, and only when you arn't looking O.o you can't trust anybody, and it's not their fault! I can't tell you how many broken or damaged systems I've seen that are freely accessable by people other then the owner. Why do you think stores like Walmart and Gamestop keep their demo systems so safely encased? To prevent theft? HA! No, it's to keep us from damaging the things while they arn't looking =3 I highly recommend that tactic, sept due to the touch screen... well, we've all seen Walmarts display DS ^.^;; nothing you can do, nothing at all. Sorry.
wow...ive had many nintendo products over my years of gaming and the DSL has been the first system thats ever given me any trouble...as in returns and such...this is my 3rd DS ive returned and has been working top notch...maybe those who have trouble with every single DSL is becouse of terrible luck -.-lll

"Maybe nintendo dosen't like white people. >.>" LOL... I think you have some horrible luck there. I haven't had any problems yet.
Is there something we don't know like are you really big; really big hands or something? Do other things around the house get broken like remote controls or other buttons on microwaves etc?
How old is this subject..... I have had 15 different Nintendo systems break, I am a careful with my stuff and I don't throw them around.
In case you haven't seen this x-play experiment where they try to smash the three last gen consoles check out the link below.
Nintendo vs the others
Nintendo makes stuff to take a beating. Like the typical counter argument goes I have had a NES, SNES, Gamecube, GameBoy and DS Lite and have never had a single problem. Except dust needing to be blown out of the NES and I have thrown/ kicked some of them around.. Either these people have some of the worst luck ever, or they a as someone else said working for the competition.
