Yep, the poster above was correct. These are crap. The plastic is cheaper than Nintendos and the finish scratches easily (mine is the chrome). I was hoping the hinge might be better but it looks worse. The fit of the top half was not good and I had to trim some tabs off to get them flush. Also...

Damm it, I hope that's not true. Mine is waiting at the PO for me to pick up today. I have also had 3 cracked hinges and was hoping this would stop this problem. Nintendo wanted to charge me for another repair, but I figured that I might as well do it myself since it's about the same price and...

Nice! I'm gonna give it a try. Did you use the email form on nintendo.com or do you have a different addy? When my 2nd one broke I tried to swap it out for a black one, but they would not do it. The polar white ones hinge has problems and I'm hoping to get one that is more durable. I looked into...

Yep my hinge just cracked again as well. This is the fourth ds I have had this problem on. This is a manufacturing/design defect. All four have been the polar white model. The first three were replaced gratis by NOA, but this time around they want to charge me 75$. I'm bummed. I may look into...

Those two wii's don't even have the same firmware. The first has the bent taskbar (for lack of a better name) of an updated wii while the second one has the straight taskbar of an un-updated wii... Fun music though... and the Wii Bootloader jpeg is nicely done.

Maybe not for your parents but I use greencine.com Good selection of indy and amine.

No thanks & I won't. My opinion is that this is a bad design. I guess some folks like the batteries as they are. I myself would like to have my controllers not need third party items to work or to put more waste into landfills. I'm glad my ds does not need me to buy new batteries every other...

Wow they have rechargeable batteries in stores! Thanks for the great advice!! I was just about to buy some zinc and copper plates and hook them up to the lightening rod on my barn... My point is that these should have built in, but replaceable rechargeable batteries, just like almost every other...

Why aren’t these things rechargeable?? That's pitiful. I haven’t bought batteries in so long... almost every electronic item I have is rechargeable. I wonder how bad these will eat batteries with the rumble, speaker, etc all packed in there. Come on Nintendo... I mean come on... No really come...
