[DS] Nintendo DS/Lite discussion thread

Yup, but remember, you don't have an American warranty, and it might be a hassle to return in case of dead pixels, etc...

That's the only reason I'm holding out for an American EB-bought DS Lite with extended warranty.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The 199 price is just a placeholder, since Nintendo hasn't announced the official price yet.

They don't want to list it as 100 bucks and then have to ask people to pay more on their pre-orders if Nintendo says it's 150.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Um... what game?

The DS Lite in Japan or the US?

Because the Lite isn't coming out in the US until June 11th...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

OH NO!

This will mess up your Milky Gadgets theme!

The main problem with the black is I'm sure it'll attract fingerprints like nobody's business.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Shit, stuck pixel on mine.

I'm trying a stuck pixel fixer using my GBA flash cart, but so far, it's doing nothing.

Fortunately, I bought an extended warranty (a.k.a replacement no questions asked), but I'll have to wait for the next shipment.

Freakin' LCD pixels, I hate this problem.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well, yeah I'm going to return it, but as I said, I have to wait for the next shipment.

FELIPE NO

I think the main difference, why Nintendo still has a better reputation than Sony or Microsoft, is the customer support they give AFTER the hardware fails.

Nintendo will pay for shipping and repair if you're still under warranty, and this covers even 1 dead/stuck pixel.

Try doing that with Sony.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I took my DS Lite back to my local EBGames because of the stuck pixel issue and the little pimply-faced geek behind the counter was giving me shit because "it's only 1 pixel, it's not covered under our return policy." So I used my 20 dollar warranty I purchased from them to open a new one (NO DEAD/STUCK PIXELS THANK GOD), then I spent ANOTHER 20 dollars covering that system.

Fucking extortion. The guy confirmed that I would be spending 80+ dollars on warranties if 4 systems in a row had dead pixels and I wanted to trade them back.

I'm going back later in the week to speak to a manager and get at least 20 bucks back.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You don't happen to own a PSP, do you?

Because I've heard the pack-in black PSP sleeve works really well with the DS Lite.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Not sure where you heard that.

We're getting the games in the correct order, at least so far.

I mean, sure we never got PW as a GBA game (its original format), but we're getting the DS remakes in normal order.
