Perfection!

Product works perfectly. It looks great. Minimal wear and tear! My son was super excited and extremely happy. Charger was forgotten In package. Seller contacted me immediately and told me. Then sent it. He more than made up for his mistake. I would order from him again! Thank you!

DS Lite

I bought the Onyx DS Lite in 2007. I love it, personally. I use it for educational games, mostly. I have a few extra games that are non-educational or geared for that subject. It's not just for kids. But, unless you like kid-like animation then it's not the handheld gaming system for you. As pictured, there are newer versions of the DS and different handheld systems such as the PSP. It all depends on what you like to play. The only thing I wish is they came out with a silver colored/coated DS. But, that's okay. Whatever you decide, good luck and enjoy! Don't play on it too much. There's a real world out there that is just as fun and educational. I probably was not that much help, but there's nothing to add since there are already great reviews and other sources about the DS Lite.

Five Stars

My boy loves it thanks so much . Works no problems and came on time if not earlier

My Favorite Handheld Console

I bought my onyx black Nintendo DS Lite shortly before the Christmas holidays. I was lucky enough to be online when they briefly became available here at Amazon. Within hours, there were none left. Had I wanted to, I could have sold mine and made a small profit. But that's not how I am. I am first a gamer and much farher down the list, a business person. I am awarding this Nintendo DS Lite a 5-star rating. I also gave my Sony PSP a 5-star rating. Both consoles are excellent portable gaming devices. From a consumer point of view, the question is not which of the console is "better" hardware. The question one should ask, in my humble opinion, is which console would best meet one's needs. The Nintendo DS Lite fit my gaming needs better. If I can only have one handheld, the DS Lite would be my choice. You're probably thinking, "but Citan, the PSP can do a whole lot more!". True enough. However, for someone like me, who is simply looking for a handheld console to play casual games away from home, the DS Lite is a better fit. And it has nothing to do with the hardware. The DS Lite simply has a wider variety of games available, compared to the PSP. And to me, the selection of games is the most important factor. So then you say, "Citan, I want to know which is best for me, not for you" Ok, fair enough. Please, read on. The Sony PSP platform is home to games like the Grand Theft Auto and Metal Gear Solid series. The more popular games for the Sony platform seem to be the types that are complicated, elaborate, and not the "pickup-and-play" variety. In other words, if you are looking for a gaming experience that is as close as you can get out of your PS2, then the PSP is for you. The popular games available for it tend to be more "grand" in scale than the ones for the Nintendo. And yes, the graphics are better. Also, if you want multimedia capability, then seriously consider the PSP. The PSP library does not have as much variety. But then again, if you do not want variety in your gaming, then that should not matter. If you are looking to play games during those random moments that we sometimes get, then seriously consider the DS Lite. An example of random free time is arriving to work fifteen minutes early and spending that time playing a short casual game in your car, at the parking lot. There are many games in the DS library that would be perfectly suited for such a situation. Somehow, I don't think Metal Gear Solid would be a good choice to be playing while waiting at the doctor's office! For that, you would want a game that you can start and stop very quickly. If this is what you have in mind, then the DS Lite (at least for now) would be a better choice. There is a shortage of casual games for the PSP right now. Although that could change in the future. Basically, it would really depend on how you want to use your gaming device. Some games are better for those random gaming time than others. And it just so happens that there are more such games in the DS library. Which console would be better for your child? I would say that depends on the age of the child. For a younger child, say under 12, I would give the DS Lite the edge. Again, more variety of games available. The DS Lite has plenty of light-hearted games that are very suitable for younger children. An older child might prefer the PSP to play the more mature games, such as the GTA series. Another factor to consider is the cost of ownership. The PSP will have a higher cost of ownership due to the fact that you will need to buy a memory stick. Also, a replacement battery for the Sony is twice as expensive as the one for the DS. That's an important consideration if you're buying for a child. Do you own a PS3? If so, the PSP might be a better choice for you since they are designed to work together. Game developers might decide to take advantage of this interoperability and make use of it in future games. For this reason, I will keep my PSP. I cannot comment as to the interoperability between the DS Lite and the Wii, since I do not own a Wii. At the moment, I am playing Elite Beat Agents on the DS Lite. The graphics and the presentation are certainly not up to the standards of the likes of the latest GTA or MGS for the PSP. But is the game any less entertaining? Definitely not. And the DS touch screen really make video gaming accessible even to people who have never tried them in the past. My advice is to consider your needs carefully before making a purchase. The same advice holds true if you are deciding between the PS3, XBox360, and the Wii.

Wonderful!

This came in wonderful condition and it was well worth the money I spent! If you want a good console that’s basically good as new, this is the one for you! It came with the charger, and everything that normally comes with a ds. Thank you so much for the wonderful product!

Came as advertise

The DS Lite came in very good condition. No dead pixels like it stated. No scratches on both top and bottom screens. Two minor little problems the stylus looks like it was chew by an animal and the GBA slot protector was a little sticky but I cleaned it really well with some rubbing alcohol and it looks brand new. Still I rate this 5 stars because the stylus is not a problem and is a easy replacement. I still need to buy a GBA game so I can test it out if it works or not. I will update my comment if I have any problems.

Exception product!

I'd been burned before trying to order a DS off of amazon so I wasn't walking into this with high hopes, but I can say I was pleasantly surprised. Package arrived a day earlier than expect. The console worked like new with almost no wear tear on the shell and screen. The docks, top and bottom, had problems reading games at work but simply blowing on them enough fixed it. Overall, would recommend to anyone looking to replace an old console or trying one out for the first time.
