Nintendo has let me down

[Roto13]

My DS is borked. The top LCD screen is all cracked. About a quarter of the pixels are now dead. Nintendo is supposed to make durable handhelds! It should be able to withstand me trying to force open a frozen door while it's in my pocket. :P I haven't been this overwhelmingly upset since I got frustrated and smashed my original Game Boy against my forehead and broke it when I was six.

Now I just have to decide whether to get it fixed or just buy a new one. I don't want a Lite. :/

Anyway, discuss your broken handhelds or consoles or anything like that.

[Markus. D]

To bad

hmmm. consoles... I broke my SNES T-T powerpack.

[Agent Proto]

I still have my DS and it's currently being unused.

If you want it, let me know Roto, as I may be able to send it to you. ;D

As for broekn consoles, I had a broken PS2. Intentionally broken because my brother was trying to "modify" it. XD

[lufia]

haha just send it back and get it repaired(they probaly just send u a brand new 1), tho it cost you if you intentionally banged it up? rage ?

[Nightmare of darkness]

i droped mine 10 time and it did not brake

[Necronopticous]

The DS Fat design is awful, paired with the fact that you can barely see the displays with the inferior backlighting. Use this as an excuse to get a DS Lite. You'll be happy.

Ouch, that's gotta hurt. Never broken anything myself, but when I was a kid we used to hide all the SNES games around in the house and people would go looking for them, and I kinda lost Lost Vikings. Ironic, I know. Now they are really lost. I know it's still in the house, though.

[JKTrix]

Get a Lite, dammit. You'll get used to it, then you'll adore it.

Did the door slam into the DS when it finally opened, or what?

[escobert]

I only have broken one hand held I believe and that was a original Gameboy screen. I dropped it on cement. I've dropped my DS a few times and it's fine.

[Vermachtnis]

I've never broken a consol, but I have gone through quite a few PS2 controllers.

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Broke my NES power cord and my Genesis power thingy was always messed, not to mention after a while it would not recognize one of my remotes. I have a SNES but not working remotes too. *thinks what else* That is about it.

[theundeadhero]

If the controller doesn't work take the screws out the back and dust off the contacts.

Yes, yes, yes, I know you all love DS Lites, but I don't. I find the bigger design more comfortable and I have absolutely no problem seeing the screen with the backlight. Nobody complained about the lighting in the original model before the Lite came out.

Did the door slam into the DS when it finally opened, or what?

I was pressing up against the door full force. Goddamn Canadian winters. It's going to cost me $95 plus tax to get it fixed, if I go with that option.

If you want it, let me know Roto, as I may be able to send it to you. ;D

How much? ;P

[escobert]

I'd just buy a new DS then, I picked mine up for $99 brand new at best buy. And yeah I prefer the regular DS to the lite. I <3 my blue DS

[forgotten_fantasy]

Don't buy a new one. Though that is exactly what I did when my playstation 2 broke down. DS is not worth it.
