I hate them they break too easily, I liked the DS lite's better. I had to fix them 3 times, and they still don't work. Too many sports games I guess pressing R to sprint.

Really? I had my DSi for a while and I actually thought they were the best.

[Joshua]

I've had my DSi for 3 years now and it's L/R buttons still work fine. Believe me, I've played the hell outta Mario Kart DS.

Fifa 10 is worse. Holding R to sprint all around the pitch.

I've had mine for 3 years got it on 12/31/09.

I know what your talking about. The R button on my DSi stopped working. My dad has a DSi too, and the R button on his also stopped working.

It's like no one can make decent shoulder buttons at all.

They're always perpendicular to the face buttons. Well, excuse me companies, we don't all have square hands like you.

Sportsgamer doesn't know his own strength... im sure somebody could make a theme song for SportsGamer. Crushing L/R bumpers with infinite ease IT'S SPORTSGAMERRRRR!

The ds lites and psp's were fine. But the DS had the best.

The original DS was like a brick. It could withstand anything, I could drop off my roof and it would still work. That is the good thing about older hardware, it is usually made better, and last a whole lot longer. Why do you think so many Game Boy's still work to this day? Because they were made so well, they were more durable than any of the other Game Boy's made. Heck I actually read in a Nintendo Power magazine that a Game Boy owned by a marine was in a nuclear explosion and it still worked.

But my original DS broke in half, because the connectors broke. But it's in good condition though. But since the top wire isn't connected to the bottom one it dosen't work.

OMG! Is that for real?

[Terrabyte20xx]

^^^ Yes, it's for real.
They had to replace the screen, but that was it!

Yes the hinge on the orginal DS was it's only flaw. Mine still works but the hinge broke on it. It broke when my luggage was going trough at airport (probably because the people don't care about your stuff). But other than the hinge, it was still very durable, especially compared to a DS lite (which also the hinge broke numerous times on those) and DSi.

Well I had my DSi at launch and I had some problems with my L+R buttons. I had em repaired at least 2 times and the rest I just figured out I needed to blow on em!

[Soul]

I blowed and it worked....
Then I kept playing and they stopped working again everytime I blow it still dosen't work.

How does blowing on them help?

[Soul]

Btw. That happened a long time ago.

They are pressured. Then when you blow the buttons go up and unpressured. (Sorry for poor grammar)

Okay, here's a list of things I want to do before I die.

• Build a fort out of Game Boys.
• Survive nuclear war.
• ???
• PROFIT!

My original DS phat's (got summer 05 for my 12th b-day) shoulder buttons never broke down, then when I got a Lite for X-mas '07 it was amazing until the hinge started cracking and the L button wouldnt respond. I put some super glue on it and it was fine altough the shoulder button was still having issues. Then a few months before the DSi came out a friend kept messing with the screen rocking it back and forth until the glue broke off. (I was so pissed, but I didnt show it lol). I tried fixing it but the super glue broke it even more. I ended up getting a DSi for my 16th B-day in 09 and again, the shoulder buttons were great but the R started failing and the L occasionaly.

The 3DS hasnt given me any issues yet besides there being some dot of dust or something inside the screen.

As for the Wii, my original one that I got for my 14th B-day in 07 worked great until late 08 when the disk drive started making a buzzing sound. I was going to send it in for repairs but then it suffered a kick/ throw from an angry mom (long story short: she was mad and took it out on my Wii because I was playing it on New Years day for Animal Crossing). I was without a Wii for 6 months, oh the horrible memories... She did give me money to buy a new one which is what I did in Summer of 09 (Had to buy a new City Folk game as well...). That Wii has been working great. I called Nintendo and they transfered my Wii Shop account, I just had to give them the serial codes under both Wii consoles.
