bought this for my 5 yr old daughter and she absolutely loves it and wont leave the house when were in the car without it. I bought the lite because it plays old gameboy advanced games which I find is great because that means we didnt have to just leave the old games she has to buy new ones. also we can find old used games for it as well.

This is a great if you have a itch for games on the go. I personaly have one and i love it and so do the kids i find i like playing it when i cant sleep. There are so many different games to choose from and so many different acceseries to go with it. I enjoy my DS very much and recommend it to young and old.

Great portable device for kids. I have two sons that love it, the unit is very robust and durable, my little one dropped it all the time and still works well, the only thing I would like is that the pencil can be attached so the don't lose it all the time.

I LOVE MY NINTENDO DS LITE. Its so much fun and have a huge game selection. Its portable so i can bring it with me when I'm on the bus and subway to pass the time on my hourly transportation rides. The battery life is great and you can also play while your charging it and has clear indications when its finished charging. I've had mine for several years and have not gotten bored of it yet because i can always switch games. One thing that i like is that you can play through wifi so i can play with my boyfriend when he's at his house and I'm at mine! Definitely a great investment and purchase! The choice in colors is just an added bonus!

Great for killing time. Before I got my Blackberry, I took this everywhere with me. Use it while waiting for the doctor, when somebody else is driving, when waiting for a chronically late person, etc. It beats getting frustrated and it keeps me amused for a while. The price when I bought it was a bit steep, but that was quite some time ago. I bought it at Costco and it came with a case and 2 games, so not bad overall. I haven't used it much lately, not sure why, but think I'm gonna take it to bed with me right now. It also jelps you fall asleep! haha

Worth the money!

I love this! I never had a gameboy as a kid so I can now make up for that! I use it for sudoku, and recently bought Oregon Trail from the online shop!

The Nintendo DS Lite is a great invention for all ages. It is innovative in that it provides a touchscreen approach when playing. You basically use the little stylus pen provided to guide your character around or to play various features in different games. The avearge memory chip can hold about 5-6 games, depending on their memory's size. The DS Lite offers classic games such as Super Mario, Zelda, Sims, and many others. I love how portable it is. It makes a great travel item, especially on road trips. The DS Lite comes with a rechargeable plug and I find myself recharging at least every 2-3 days or so (after playing an average of 5-6 hours maybe). There are two screens: the top screen is only for viewing and the bottom screen is where you guide the stylus pen for the touchscreen application. They are big enough in size for you to see clearly and the images are in high resolution, making the gaming experience very enjoyable. It also comes with adjustable volume, which at its highest level is still very comfortable to listen to. The stylus pen is very sturdy and fits very well into a well positioned slit on the side/back of the DS. This allows you to store it away safely. As for the wi fi connections, you can play certain games with other players. I find this works best if your friends, siblings or family members also own the DS Lite and have the same games you have. Otherwise, you may find yourself waiting a long time to find an international partner to play with, if any at all. Some games do not offer this option, therefore you have no choice but to play on your own. However, this doesn't bother me so much, since the games are highly entertaining even when playing on your own. The one thing that I wish they would improve is the size or shape of the DS. I find my wrists and hands getting very tired or numb after holding it for maybe 30 minutes. So in terms of comfort, it can be improved, otherwise, it is a very cool and innovative product. Whether you are a kid, teenager or adult, you will certainly get enjoyment out of it!

I like the Nintendo DS! It's simple to use and it's fun for people of all ages. It's cool that you can play with your friends if they have DS' either through WiFi or "DS Download Play." It has two slots which enable you to play games that were made for the Gameboy and games that were made for the Nintendo DS. It's worth it to buy one.

I really, really enjoy this system! I need to find a friend who has one so I can test the wireless feature - I haven't been able to do this yet. Anyway, I have really been enjoying the games... a lot of them are made for younger kids so they go too quickly for me, but they're still fun. I've especially enjoyed playing Mario - I love the innovations of the touch screen they've added for certain elements. Of course most people will want to buy the DSi now that it's out, but I think the DS Lite will continue to do well for a while.

I now have 3 of these. All of my kids wanted one. There great for ages 4 to whatever.
The games are reasonably priced and the units are tough. Price could be better though.
