I noticed something odd about my DS Lite today. The little chime that normally sounds when booting up the DS was noticably different today; it was at a much higher pitch than normal. At first I was worried my speakers were malfuntioning, but my games sounded just fine.
After playing 20 minutes of Meteos, I booted up Animal Crossing and found an animal offering me a present. That's when I realised why the boot-up chime sounded so different: Today's my birthday!
Of course I knew it's my birthday, but I never realised that the DS make a special chime just for it. I tested my theory by switching the day to the 29th, and sure enough the chime returned to normal.
This isn't mind-blowing or anything, but I think it's a neat feature that many may not notice. :)
