With all the options in game systems these days its great to find find a handheld that is just plain fun. This touch screen system allows for a number of fun interactive games to play that would not be available in any other way. A must buy for anyone who enjoys to play video games.

Anyone who has these knows they are great.

If you want to not see your child for a week, get this!

Ha-Ha-Ha

I don't let my children play them all the time but if we are at the doctors or somewhere they need to be quite, it is great.

Also long road trips too. We love ours. I would definitely recommend this. There are also educational games too, which is very nice

Bought 4 of these for my grand children. 3 girls, 1 boy. They trade games, write to each other, not a dull moment anywhere.

As you can see, I also drive school bus. Many of the students have these in the grade school and middle schools. Keeps them in their seats, and busy for the 40 minutes on the bus each day. 10 stars if I could give them. They are constantly trading games.

This small lightweight games is an excellent game for kids over 5. It is small and portable. Many games are available for a reasonable amount of money.

We bought the DS Lite for my 8 yr old son for christmas but we have so many games that we have played on there. Good graphics and good size, I recommend this for anyone 8 and over.

I am a girly-girl UnGamer. I'm intimidated by button combos, bewildered by cheat codes (where's the fun in THAT?), and a little terrified by the vast array of first-person-shooter and sportsy games out there. Since I'm also terrified of real guns and real sports, this isn't especially surprising. Things that do NOT terrify, bewilder, or intimidate me include crossword puzzles, trivia games, "sim" games, and Zelda. All of these things are, fortunately, available for the Nintendo DS Lite.

The DS Lite is perfect for the UnGamer - the person who thinks of gaming as a way to pass the time while on the bus or on a coffee break. Many of the games that are available for the DS Lite require only a stylus to interface, thus eliminately the need to remember tedious button combos. If you can use a pen, you can use the DS. The graphics on the games thsat I've played range from very good to breathtaking, and the sound effects mostly lack that piercing quality that drove UnGamers like me crazy when our little brothers got their first GameBoys.

A huge number of accessories are available for the DS Lite, but other than buying a couple of plastic game cases and a few extra styluses (stylii?), I haven't found the need to buy any. The DS Lite is, as the name suggests, lightweight, but is nevertheless sturdy enough to survive the last month and a half in my purse with keys, pens, half-eaten granola bars, and a quarter pound of loose change. The finish is iPod-shiny, and therefore smudges easily, but has so far proven scratch resistant.

There are hundreds of games available - thousands, if you count the GBA games that DS Lite is compatible with. As an UnGamer, I've stuck mostly to games like Nintendogs, Electroplankton, The Sims, and a few old favorites like Tetris and Zelda. There's definitely something for everyone here, including language and weight-loss training, dog obedience tips, and cooking lessons. As I've gradually gotten more into my DS, I've discovered such addictive time-wasters as Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon, and games like Brain Age and Flash Focus have become part of my regular morning routine.

So guys, if you're desperate to get your UnGamer girlfriend into gaming, the Nintendo DS Lite is the perfect gateway drug. Heck, I'm even thinking of getting a Wii soon!

I bought this DS Lite as a Christmas present for my mom and she absolutely loves it. She's in her mid-50's and in no way a "gamer" but this is easy enough for even a 2-year old to use. Ok, maybe that's stretching it a bit. If you can read, write, and have use of your writing hand to write and tap a stylus on a screen, then hours of fun await you. Nintendo support is very good and will try everything to keep you a satisfied customer(I also have a Wii).It's lightweight, portable, and as a console, quite inexpensive for the hours of enjoyment you'll get. Recommended for: long waits in airports/ insomniacs / people with kids who need to have their own stuff (they can still play against each other but wirelessly).

I mentioned I also have a Wii..Which do I personally prefer? The Wii. It's a lot more interactive and I can play with my kids at the same time. However, the two consoles serve different functions. The DS Lite has portability and low cost as advantages and the Wii has a great deal more interactivity and it's alot more intuitive than the controls on the DS Lite. However, it's at least twice the cost of a DS Lite. So it all depends on your needs and how much money you have to spend on it for the number of players you will have. If you are considering buying either of these consoles, I would suggest browsing your local stores to see what types of games are offered for each system and the prices for accessories etc. before making the investment. Hope this helps.

LOVE this product. Bought it for my son's 6th birthday. He used to fight a lot with his 10 year old sister over nothing and everything and now they play cooperatively for long periods of time (she has one as well). They share strategies and skills, watch each other play, take turns with their games, etc.

Specifically about the product - feels good in the hand, holds a charge well, buttons are easy and intuitive. We have no complaints!
