Amazon.co.uk Review
In a nutshell:
It may have taken the world by storm with its huge range of genuinely innovative new games but there?s no denying that the Nintendo DS is not exactly the most portable of portable consoles. That?s all changed now with this sleek and sexy update. The lowdown:
When the Nintendo DS was first announced it was dismissed by many as a white elephant ? with a gimmicky interface and underpowered graphics. Over 15 million sales later and the story is a little different. The DS Lite is fully compatible with all existing Nintendo DS (and Game Boy Advance) games but it?s smaller, sleeker and lighter ? with a new design that perfectly matches the Nintendo Wii console. The most impressive feature is the new backlit screens which offer the sharpest image ever seen on a portable console. The DS Lite is available in three separate colours: White, Black and Pink. Most exciting feature:
The DS Lite now has four brightness settings ? the highest is brighter than even the PSP and is clearly visible in any lighting condition. That sound? That'll be Sony executives running to the hills - wearing sunglasses. Since you ask:
The Nintendo DS is the fast selling console ever in Japan. When the DS Lite was released, it sold out instantly, with queues of over 1,000 people a common sight. The bottom line:
The DS gets a face lift to become Nintendo?s best looking portable ever. - Harrison Dent

 Late to the party - but yes, it's good! August 13, 2008
Having religiously avoided computer games since the early nineties PC version of games, buying this impressive little piece of kit was a revelation. Bought with the popular Brain Training software programme, we've used this everyday on a recent holiday and had good fun with it, proving that families can indeed be brought together for fun with technology rather than becoming uncommunicative zombies!
The DS lite is well-constructed, and seems to have an excellent battery life, making it ideal for travel. As far as Brain Training goes - well the novelty wears of pretty quickly, although the temptation is always there to have just one more try to get your brain age down to a respectable number. With seemingly endless other games available, I suspect we'll be buying additional ones before too long. For once, I can see what the fuss is about.
 Get it if you don't mind having headaches August 5, 2008
I got this in 2005, a proper DS, not a DS lite. I love it, but there's only 1 complaint it gives you a headache after about 20 mins. I go on and off it, one time I'm using it a lot and then it lies in the cupboard for a few months. I love video games so I don't moan about the DS much.
P.S. I want lots of fun language coach games for it, I like learning different languages.
Fragile July 2, 2008
This is a fun handheld games console but is very fragile the games are quite expensive but the console it's self is a brilliant price.
Disappointing. June 8, 2008

I got this handheld a while ago and eventually I couldn't use it. I went through 3 DS to fix the problem with it I had, and the problem was I had to press down really hard on the diagonals to make them respond. This wouldn't have been so bad, but it made my hand cramp up really badly. I persisted for a while with it thinking it may stop, but if anything it got worse.
When it comes to 2D games, then you won't have this problem, but for Mario 64 DS, and Metroid Hunters, it will just make your hand ache in agony.
I eventually sold my system with 3 games for 95. What was the point in keeping it when I couldn't use it?
Also the games are ridiculously over priced. They're like 30 quid a pop, and you can buy new console games for only a little more, or used console games for cheaper!
 Another let down customer December 30, 2007

Like one of the other reviewers I saw on Dec 19th that this was in stock and available for next day delivery. I placed the order literally within seconds. Needless to say I now know the item was not really in stock - I got emails telling me it would be delivered before Dec 24th and then just before Xmas a message saying the supplier had let Amazon down and it would be arriving sometime in February. Lesson learnt Amazon - with no route to complain about an order placed when there was stock (I checked after placing the order and it was still showing as available) customers are forced to leave product feedback.
I will continue to use Amazon for non-essential purchases. I trusted them to deliver and stopped my DS search believing I had bought an "in stock" item. Big mistake - made all the more annoying by Amazon's refusal to accept messages FROM customers - it only sends them out or lets you read FAQs.
