This is a fantastic product. Easy to use for any age range. There are so many different games that you can use, platform, puzzle etc. It is small enough to put in your handbag or an overnight bag for the kids. It's lightweight and easy to charge. Once fully charged it has a long battery life which is really good for the kids in the back of the car. I really like all the different accessories, such as protective cover, game cases and carry bag. You get the whole package getting a DS Lite and no other handheld console compares.
I bought the Nintendo DS Lite for my son. He has one at his mum's and she won't let him bring it over to mine to play. He's only four years old and knows how to 'handle' the DS better than myself in all honesty.We have the PSP and various consoles here at mine and in comparison the DS holds its own. One very good thing that I do like about the DS compared with the other games/consoles, is that the mini cd type games actually come covered and ready to load in a slim plastic cover type cassette that protects them from dirt and scratches etc.. (A problem most people with an enthusiastic four year old might encounter). So I guess there'll be good news when it comes to 'forking' out for replacement games.
I bought this DS as an xmas present for my husband, the only problem we had was the company I bought it from sent an American charger for it. Luckily I had also bought a car charger for the DS from another supplier so he could luckily charge the DS and use it. When I approached the company I had bought the DS from re the charger they did not want to replace it, suggesting I should go and buy one !! I have asked the company to send the correct one to me ! Watch this space, I doubt I will recieve it. I will not be buying from this company again !!!
Bought a Ds lite but was also sent a game which we did not pay for... My son was overjoyed ..

Am happy with the product. It arrived powered up and ready to use and my 6 year old who has never had one before figured out how to use it quickly. The graphics are exciting and colourful, the sound is clear and the unit responds immediately as you make choices along the way. It is compact and mobile and simple to charge.
Works perfectly with no problems and is in pretty good condition. Very happy with the product

Absolutely brilliant product, bought for my nana, works for all that I need for an older person. Easy controls and games to go with it are just as easy to operate. Same great quality as my little brothers' Nintendo DS's. If you aren't interested in the DSi, the new 3DS or anything fancy and just want to play straight forward games then this is the console for you. Games are still available for this console and cheaper than new ones created for the new consoles. An all round good buy for smaller kids or older people who just have to get used to the controls and are looking for a first time DS console.
Bought for my 4 year old daughter to stop her pinching her older sisters & for her to learn how to use one before we decide on buying a more up to date model in the future.It arrived in a good amount of time considering the weather & was in a reasonable condition.You can tell it's been used but I knew that's what I was buying & my daughter was still happy.As it was boxed this made the difference.
Although this is old technology, it still awards plenty of entertainment. The split screen is very watchable and the graphics are clear and brightly coloured. There are many games available on line. A super little console.

Ths system came broken. Direction pad and A B X Y buttons need to be pressed down hard to detect any input. Touchscreen is not functioning on the right half of it.
