Nintendo DS Lite - US query and does it still have a fault?
7 Answers
I am looking to get my son a DS Lite for Christmas. My step mum would be bringing it from the USA. I have read that it will work ok here, as long as I have an adaptor. Has anyone hit any problems with using an American one? Also, has the manufacturing fault with the hinge been rectified now? I am a bit dubious about buying something from the US if I am then going to need to get it repaired. John Lewis may cost more but they would swap it no problem!

I got a US to UK adaptor for charging and it does the job great.
Didnt know there were any problems regarding the hinges, though.
If you are getting one from the US, remember they have a wider selection of colours and, i think, they feel a lot better in the hand.
My own one is the crimson red version - red on top, black on the bottom. The red is a glossy plastic, but the black is a matt plastic, which i find feels better.
My friend has a UK DS Lite and the whole thing is glossy plastic and, if you have even slightly sweaty hands, it feels a bit uncomfortable to hold.
Just my tuppence worth..... :)

I bought my one through eBay, but if you have someone there who can get one, or you're going there yourself, at current exchange rates, the price would be about �75

My sons had DS lites that I bought form Japan - they worked fine with UK adaptors - the one from the US will no doubt be the same. I had to buy them over there because of the colours they had asked Santa for- My older son wanted an ice blue one - which sells over here now as torquoise, my younger son had the black and red one like Mr Bounty's. Interestingly though, the hinge on that one broke - he was forever leaving it about, so I presumed that he had stooden on it - however he subsequently dropped it down the stairs and it now doesn't work at all. we did buy a replacement but it was plain black - as that was the best deal at the time. Anyone want to buy a broken DSL?
