[DS] Nintendo DS/Lite discussion thread

So... I just got mine today... and 4 hours into play, I realize my touch screen has two problems.

1.) It's slightly crooked. I notice this because when I turn it on, the white startup screen has more black border on the left side than the right, and the whiteness of the screen doesn't "line up" with the exterior/glass border like the top screen does.

2.) The bottom right corner of the touch screen "clicks" if I press it even slightly, and the screen cover presses down slightly as I press it. The other corners stay well in place. Is this normal?

I unfortunately didn't get a warranty on the thing, but do you guys think I have a chance of getting it exchanged anyways? I got it from my local EB Games shop.

How ya doing, buddy?

So I just came back from my local EB Games. Instead of going through a would-be hassle with the employee, I just went over to check the demo DS Lites they had out to see if they had the same touch screen issues as mine. To my surprise, they do. Their touch screens look a tiny bit off, and the bottom right corners of their touch screens click-in a bit too. Now I'm concerned, is this normal for all DS Lites, or did my store get a bad shipment?

For those of you that have a DS Lite, please do me a favor. Check your DS Lite touch screens for the following:
- Bottom right corner of screen clicks-in
- Screen looks slightly off-center inside.

I just wanna know if SuperDK and I are alone or not on this one.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I returned my DS Lite and exchanged it for a new one. The crooked screen problem is now gone, but to my expectations, the clicky-corner is still an issue. Although now that I think of it, it's less of a "clicky-corner", and more of a "loose corner", because it seems like just one corner of the screen isn't properly sealed to the system, so that when you press down on it with a little more pressure than usual, the screen's corner itself goes down just a bit. I really hope this doesn't lead to any problems in the future.

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

I just ordered the Hori extending stylus, screen protector, and black Lite carrying case. I can't wait! How long does it take Play-Asia stuff to send, anyone know? I want my stuff now. ;_;

Most amazing jew boots

I bought the EB Games brand pouch, and it sucks. It's like I'm jamming my DS Lite into a white, EB Games-labeled anus everytime I put it away. I can't even put anything into the secondary pocket. Maybe some lunch money or a condom can fit in there, but it's certainly no place for game carts.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I just wanna say that putting the Hori Liquid Crystal Filter on my touch screen was a total bitch... for me at least.

But after almost an hour, it's on. With one or two bubbles, but I'm fucking leaving it there. Looks good anywho. The top screen filter, however, went on with one try and no bubbles.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

If you're planning on playing the Lite outside, it's still a bit difficult to play even at the brightest setting -- at least for me with the California sun blazing above. But it doesn't bother me, since I'd rather play games indoors.

I've been keeping my DS Lite at the level 2 brightness setting, too. Heh, funny how everyone's doing the same. Battery lasts pleasantly, too. I've had to recharge mine 4 times since I bought it when it came out, but that's because I used the highest brightness level for the first days. I read that the battery lasts 5-8 hours on the highest brightness setting.

On a different note... I WANT MORE RPGS FOR THIS THANG! I just finished Castlevania: DoS. Its RPG elements left me craving for MORE. The only other system I own is an Xbox, and lets just say I've been seriously deprived of RPGs (at least Japanese-style ones) since the era of the PSone. ;__;

FELIPE NO

I, too, have both the 'loose-in-its-casing' D-pad problem and the 'cosmetically-loose' volume slider problem. Though they're not really problems because they're still completely functional, I still worry about them a bit.

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