Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

In a nutshell:
It may have taken the world by storm with its huge range of genuinely innovative new games but there’s no denying that the Nintendo DS is not exactly the most portable of portable consoles. That’s all changed now with this sleek and sexy update.

The lowdown:
When the Nintendo DS was first announced it was dismissed by many as a white elephant – with a gimmicky interface and underpowered graphics. Over 15 million sales later and the story is a little different. The DS Lite is fully compatible with all existing Nintendo DS (and Game Boy Advance) games but it’s smaller, sleeker and lighter – with a new design that perfectly matches the Nintendo Wii console. The most impressive feature is the new backlit screens which offer the sharpest image ever seen on a portable console. The DS Lite is available in three separate colours: White, Black and Pink.

Most exciting feature:
The DS Lite now has four brightness settings – the highest is brighter than even the PSP and is clearly visible in any lighting condition. That sound? That'll be Sony executives running to the hills - wearing sunglasses.

Since you ask:
The Nintendo DS is the fast selling console ever in Japan. When the DS Lite was released, it sold out instantly, with queues of over 1,000 people a common sight.

The bottom line:
The DS gets a face lift to become Nintendo’s best looking portable ever. - Harrison Dent

Product Description

The Nintendo DS Lite will become the new edition to Nintendo's video game family when it launches on 23rd June 2006. Nintendo DS Lite is a lighter and brighter version of the highly successful Nintendo DS.

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent piece of equipment, 8 Jan 2008
By Susan Belcher "Su B" (St Helens, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I'd looked at these at various times since their release and finally the time was right.

The DS Lite is a wonderful piece of equipment - it's two screens is a new thing to me but it is easy to use after only a couple of uses.

The most telling thing about the DS Lite is the number of games and training packages which have become available over the months that it has been available. So many available, but which to choose. The release has been well thought out.

I use the DS Lite for Brain Training. It's a nice size with large, clear screens and, thankfully, volume control and headphone socket.

One problem is the possibility of losing the stylus. If you get into the habit of replacing it in it's slot rather than putting it down between uses then you're less likely to lose it. Of course mistakes happen and they are lost, but they are easily replaceable, and not overly expensive.

4.0 out of 5 stars Females and Comuters, 8 Oct 2007
By C. Miller "Cham" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Nintendo are really trying to sell their DS to females and comuters (I'm female and a comuter). Having seen the DS advertised on the tube, I was keen on researching them to see if I would like it.

I haven't really played computer games since I was about 13 and I must say, its really come along way since then (I'm now 28).

Firstly, the DS lite is a lovely small size and fits nicely into your handband. In fact, its much smaller than a book. I love playing my DS on the tube it really makes the time fly by. Normally, on the tube, I read a book or listen to my ipod, so its a nice change to be able to do something different.

The games for the DS are great. My initial concern about getting a DS would be that the games were for males children. I'm not really into sports and fighting games but there are loads of games out and I'm sure you will find something you like. YOu can do puzzle games or even manage your own town, so games have come along way since the traditional view of games.

This review is written from the view of a female so it might not be helpful for everyone, but if you are thinking if getting a DS - I recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Technology is not so frightening!, 26 Sep 2007
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I bought a DS lite to play the brain training game - Not being one who played computer games in my youth, I found this console simple and easy to use. In fact, I am quite addicted to it! It holds its charge and is easy to charge. Nice bit of techno for the older gen!
