Great for games!
I got this when I was a teenager for Christmas. I got the white version and was really happy with it. It was light, easy to store and fun to use. I use to like bringing it on trips so I had something to do in the car or on the train. This DS Lite was easy to use and I liked that it was bright and you could see the screen even in darker locations. I loved the Super Mario games - but there were a lot of game options! It was also cool that there was a chat on this, so sometimes my sister and I would both go in our rooms and we would secretly chat - it was fun.
Great For Playing Games & Bringing On-The-Go
I got one of these when I was in my pre-teen years and still have it today, so it's lasted a number of years. Mine is hot pink. There are a variety of games available for this device- games for all skill levels and interests. I enjoy playing Brain Age and Mario games. This is small enough to take anywhere. As a pre-teen, I used to like to use the chat feature available on this device to chat with my sisters or friends who were close by. There isn't a far reach for connecting on chat, making it safe for parents to know who their kids are talking with. The graphics are good.
My son have it, it is not that fun as Xbox, but when you are travelling or outside for long times defiantly it is a good thing to keep your kids busy and it has some fun games too.
My eldest daughter has long outgrown this however my younger daughter keeps it in the car now for road trips and she loves it. It is still relevent and you can hook up the internet and play with others online. Still advanced technology and a lot of fun to help kids pass time and work on their fine motor skills as well. I have used this at work with patients who need help recovering from brain injuries. It helps them many ranges of things including dexterity, thinking and processing skills and fine motor skills. I think most kids still love this and there are still tons of games out there suited for every audience. Worth the money.
My kids both had these and really liked them but after a year the games stopped working so we bought a newer version. My 3 year old messes around with it now. The main thing they liked to use it for was pictures and drawing. Something's can be complicated depending on the users age. We had some trouble conecting it to our network
My son is autistic and owns two of these. I bought two incase he breaks one. But after many drops they are still going strong. He loves the games and the fact he can take pictures.
I had one of these back in 2007 and absolutely loved it. Primarily I loved that the price was slightly lower. I liked the slim design because this slid right in my purse/pocket. Unfortunately this didn't have the camera or advanced WiFi features that the newer versions have. Right now the Nintendo XL is where it's at, but I'm holding off to buy that until the price comes down.
