Nintendo DS (Electric Blue)

Pros: touch screen
2 (big) speakers
2 screens
recharageable battery
button type

Cons: minor problems (will explain)

Summary: I love the DS because it just opened up a whole new world of games! Before i get started, i would like to say that I belive its better than the DS lite and the new DSi because its simple and its for playing games not music or doing other stuff like that.

I love having the touch screen because its fun to do sutff on. The speakers are bigger than the GBA SP so it has better sound quality (to me at least), I first though that having 2 screens would make it so much harder to play games, but it worked out perfectly. the recharageable battery is very useful because it saves having to buy batterys (just not very useful as i vacation in england every year and a US charger doesn't do much good, thankfully i have a car charger and someone who has an old SP charger). I like the buttons better than the original GBA and the ds lite, they are easier to press to me.

the minor problems is that after having my DS for years (i bought it about 5 months before the DS lite came out in the US) is that i've just recently somehow gotten dust behind my top screen. I have tried blowing it out but nothing works. I only notice the dust when i'm in certain light or the DS is turned off, not a big deal really. another thing is the hinge is a little on the weak side if your not careful with your electronics. two of my friends hindges have broke slightly which lets you pull the screen up and down, my advice--take care of your electronics! (i only have 2 scratches on my touch screen and tahts bacuse my stiouls had something on it that caused it to scratch. I have NO scratches on the outside of my DS because i take care of it.

I like the DS over the PSP because the games are better and i like gameplay over graphics. I STILL PLAY A GAMEBOY GAME!!!
