Product Description
The smaller, sleeker version of the original Nintendo DS, the Nintendo DS Lite combines dual screen action with Touch Screen interaction, providing the player with a unique gaming experience. The system also includes wireless communication technology, allowing gamers to join their friends in multiplayer games, or use the system's embedded PictoChat software to send messages and drawings to each other. The Nintendo DS Lite is revolutionising handheld gaming. With two super-sharp, backlit LCD screens, the Nintendo DS Lite offers a groundbreaking new approach to gaming. Each 3-inch screen is capable of producing true 3D graphics; the DS has the power to produce even more advanced visuals than the Nintendo 64 could display. Plus you can adjust the screens' brightness in four different levels to adapt to different lighting conditions. The possibilities are limitless - one screen can be used to show the main action, while another might be used as a map, inventory, or secondary viewpoint - or both screens can be used simultaneously to depict huge boss characters! With a powerful rechargeable lithium ion battery pack and recharger included with every Nintendo DS Lite, the system offers up to 19 hours of play on a single recharge*; so there's no need for additional battery packs. Nintendo DS Lite recharges to full capacity in three hours - one hour less than Nintendo DS. The system also includes a clock, calendar and alarm functions, and you can select other details like the colour of the background screen, your birthday and your nickname. *Nintendo DS Lite battery life is dependent on brightness setting used.

Excellent; preferable to DSi for 6 year old November 18, 2009

This is a wonderful machine; bought as my son's first good games console. Until now he has been using my husband's old Game Boy, with poky back and white screen and no backlight.
I agonised for ages about whether to spend the extra £50 on a DSi; I'm SO glad I didn't. The DS is absolutely perfect; the red glossy finish on ours looks great, it is incredibly easy to use, and I certainly don't want my 6 year old having a relatively unmonitored internet connection as with DSi. The cameras on DSi are fun, but of no use for real photography, and really a bit of a gimmick. I was tempted by the nice menu etc, but the DS menu is simple, clear, and very child-friendly.
There is an added advantage that he will be able to play GBA games from his cousins and friends, as well.
Overall, this is a superb entry-level games console, looks brilliant, is fantastically easy to use, yet supports a huge collection of games to suit all ages and tastes. I'd recommend it to any child, and for parents buying for Christmas, I'd advise it over the DSi; spend the extra £50 on some great games.

Having great fun being a DS Owner. Have found it very useful when travelling. Being over 50, I like crosswords, scrabble, 100 Classic books etc. Great way of having loads to do but taking up a small amount of space in your hand luggage.
DS Lite likes heavy use July 20, 2009

This is the 2nd DS lite in the house, my daughter's was played so much by my son we got him one.They are 7 and 5, and play Mario Kart DS endlessly!
The unit is robust, no performance issues and charges last a long time.
It's only a question of moderating how long they play, as you can easily lose your children for hours! Down to the parent whether that's good or bad..
Fabulous bright, shiny red July 2, 2008

This new colour is a fabulous bright, shiny red and looks great. Was worried the colour may be a bit orangey or pinkish but it's not at all. It looks sleek, glossy and cool.
This is easy to use, light to carry and the fully charged battery lasts for around 16 hours when set on low screen brightness. The two screens are really handy as it saves flipping back and forth between modes as in some GBA games or adds extra elements in others. The touch screen is fun and adds an extra dimension to game-play over the gameboy advance.
The wi-fi connectivity allows game play with friends and connection to the internet to play with other Nintendo gamers. There is a calendar, a clock and an alarm. It has built in stereo speakers and a microphone socket. Overall I think it is excellent value for money (these days) and great fun to use.

This is a fab little machine. All my 4 kids have got one and they bought me one in pink for Xmas last year. My youngest had the eldests old original DS and therefore kept pinching mine so this Christmas I bought her this red one.
She was delighted to have the same console as her brothers and sister and in red too. Had a free Gamexpert DS essentials kit in the same colour free with it,Gamexpert DS Lite/DSi VFM Essentials Bundle - Red (Nintendo DS) which was a bonus and goes nicely with her DS. We now all play massive games of Mario Kart!
Unfortunately just after new Year one of the buttons at the back jammed and she was back to using mine but a quick email to Amazon and a replacement was sent.
The console is wonderful, a lovely shade of dark red, it is very versatile having a huge amount of games available to buy. It is portable and small enough to fit in a handbag or large pocket.
The service from Amazon is brilliant and I am glad I bought it from them and not anywhere else.
I know it broke soon after getting it but none of the others have been any trouble, even the old faithful DS original that is now a few years old has never had any problems so I am not worried it will happen again, think it was just a fluke.
Very highly recommended
