Just a few days ago i bought a new DS lite. I noticed that the D-Pad is a little loose, i'm just wondering if anyone can tell me if this type of thing is normal. Thanks.

Can you go diagonal? A loose D-pad is the number one sign of that malfunction.

I am able to go diagonal. I play Metroid Prime Hunters and Tony Hawk American Sk8land with a loose (perfectly normal) d pad and it works fine.

Yeah, my Onyx DS Lite started out with a loose D-Pad too. Unfortunately, the diagonals are a bit unresponsive now. It makes it hard for me to really get into a game without getting frustrated with the unresponsive diagonals. It's mostly the top-right diagonals though.

I just bought another DS-lite(black) and the D-pad was a bit looser then my first DS-lite. I was a bit afraid of it aswell, but it actually makes the use of it feel smoother, and it doesn't seem like it's going to come of.

I guess the ds-lites differ slightly when they come out of the factory, in terms of buttons and stuff(some are more tight or loose).

I'd say it's pretty normal, should've been a lockable spring loaded joystick, or some kind of wacky machine that generates hookers, wow, I need sleep.

No, on most DS'es it's as easy as going up, down, left, right....
