- tsunamisteve, on 10/12/2007, -16/+235"Widespread" on the internet equates to a small number of people with blogs.
- RadiantBeing, on 10/12/2007, -9/+104In the olden days before blogs, people would just apply Crazy Glue and be done with it instead of posting endlessly to forums and taking countless photos of their tragedical crack.

If you read the damn comment you would notice he said "extended warranty", meaning something that one buys on top of Nintendo's standard warranty.
FFS don't diss the comment unless you read it! - cybernetic798, on 10/12/2007, -9/+54Yep, this is basically like with the Xbox 360 fiasco, where a few complaints became 95% of users lol
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+47Mine is cracking :( But that's what extended warranties are for I suppose.

- Odweaver, on 10/12/2007, -3/+36Same way you scratch an ipod.
- Dakoman, on 10/12/2007, -7/+31i just checked mine and it has a little crack. nothing a little bit of superglue won't fix, no need to get your panties in a twist! ;)
- britkev1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23Yeah but dont forget it has to be within 30 days (14 days for some items).
- Araya213, on 10/12/2007, -5/+26"Same way you scratch an ipod."
You mean, by breathing on it?
Anyway, I got my DS Lite on release day and no crack, take it everwhere with me. - kamaru, on 10/12/2007, -5/+23Got my DS Lite on release day and its been in my pocket almost everyday getting banged around and such as normal for electronics in the wild.. No problems, just checked the hinges and hardly even a scratch on it. *shrug*
- jimmyemunoz, on 10/12/2007, -6/+21Just return the damb thing to the store you bought it from. End of the story. I always buy at Circuit City because they have a "no questions asked" return policy.
- musteval, on 10/12/2007, -8/+23With a scalpel.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15"hell my NES still works perfectly fine."
Blow, blow, blow, using cleaning kit, blow blow, jam piece of paper to hold cart in place, blow blow. - Stwo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14http://www.appleshield.com/movie/demo/blaze_demo_lg.mov
- Erroneus, on 10/12/2007, -8/+16Yup one problem on one product, means the same problem will occur on all their problems, forever....
- motang, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11Well it is the digital age, and it is well known fact the more noise you make the more you will get people's attentions.
- nlatimer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Actually since there are so many flaps on the Wii, it is essentially pre-cracked, to prevent the cracking from expansion, like those metal teeth on a bridge.
- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9......................................boy do I feel dumb. I just looked at my DS Lite which I thought was in perfect condition, and guess what? Mine has the same exact crack....
Oh well, it doesn't appear to be something that interferes with gameplay, and it also looks like it won't develop into a bigger problem at all - guitarpro411, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8why am i being down digged? Im just letting people know what happened..
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11Nintendo makes the most durable systems, period. My Gamecube has fallen down steps and been perfectly fine. My DS has been tossed around by my little cousin with no problems at all. My original gameboy has been through nearly infinite abuse, and it works perfectly fine. No other game system company can compare to the durability of Nintendo.
- rufo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6You're being paranoid - the DS/DS lite screens are designed to open past the click. You don't even have to push very hard - I'm really surprised you haven't done it before.
- lcohiomatty86, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10@thewebguy
i guess u've never shopped at TigerDirect then.. have ya? - matt0817, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9i beat the living ***** out of my N64, and it works perfectly fine. hell my NES still works perfectly fine.
- The_Decryptor, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9"nintendo fanboys and their unwillingness to admit to nintendo having any faults."
Nintendo products have faults, just like any other product, but in this case a issue with some Lite's that gets turned into "widespread problems", when that just isn't the case. - bigred, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9And don't forget the 1/10th of 1% of iPod nano owners who cracked their screens when apple sold those millions of defective nano's to everyone.
- pintong, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I found a crack on mine the day before I found this article. I was nervous until I noticed that it's purely cosmetic - only a small section was cracked that didn't seem to affect the hinge in any way.
- eyevariety, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Funny how all the people who have cracked hinges have been dugg down. Why?
- schurkenstadt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5or half a year if you live in europe ...
IAL - INHUMANITY, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Interesting indeed. I noticed mine had that little crack after a few days of use, but did not really make big deal about it. You cannot see it unless you are actually looking for it.
I do find it intriguing that it is a larger issue than I thought it was. I only us my DS Lite once or twice a week and even I noticed it, so something is definitely up. - guitarpro411, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8well I called and they arnt going to do anything about it unless i pay 50 dollars.. thanks nintendo. He ADMITS a manufacture error but still its not under the warranty.
- Elbinray, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5aww wtf...didn't even notice it until this. Mine too has the crack on the hinge. WTF nintendo.
Recall! - thereisnospoon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I didn't notice it before but when I just checked sure enough my DS hinge is cracked just like the example picture. I don't think its a big deal and probably caused by pushing the top screen all the way back flat (it stops normally at a slight angle to the touch screen but if you keep pushing it opens flat). I suppose you are not supposed to do that but I did a couple times on accident. Oh well I'll wait and see if it gets worse.
- jonnyeh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Me too, I didn't notice the crack till I read this article just now. Thanks a lot Digg! /sarcasm
- Spaz007, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I got my PSP refurb for only $125 straight from Sony. Works and looks new.
- andywirtanen, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8http://www.shieldzone.com/
(found the URL by typing "invisible shield" into FF's address bar... aka a Google "I'm Feeling Lucky" search) - navster15, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wow, I got this problem as well. No biggie I suppose. I wouldn't have noticed it anyway.
- TerrorByte64, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Actually I just noticed the crack on mine a few days ago. It seems to be working fine, but I'm worried it's a big problem.
- fohf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3don't worry, yours will come. be patient
- Goya, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hmmm, when I first read the article/comments I thought this was just some whiney stuff to bash the ds. Then I got out mine out, and damnit... a crack. My concern, as many have stated, is will this develop into a bigger problem with more normal wear?
- georgegui, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I can confirm that this crackly thing has happened to my DS lite and my sister's ds. I think it is a common problem on the new ds lite. So don't say just because it's on the internet it isn't widespread.
- opie_wan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I treat my ds very well....only took a look now and noticed....a cracked left hinge!! I would say that this has something to do with the manufacture of the unit....and is not something related to abuse....as I treat mine like gold.
- sterling1989, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Bought mine on release day and my hinge was cracked. I just RMA'd it and then saw the post on digg. I kept thinking I had banged it or something. Nice to know I'm not the only one but think this may become a problem if the same problem is happening to a lot of units.
- JeremyBanks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Few people read comments this far down the page, but I just had to add that I noticed this a few days ago on mine. It doesn't seem to be a real issue, but I was disapointed.
- kristin364, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I got mine on release day. I take very good care of it; it stays in a case when it's not being used, it has never been dropped, etc. I just checked and there is a crack on the left hinge. :(
- fohf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@electromagnet
"Before this article I'd *never* heard of this problem, if it's wide spread like the iPod Nano's self-destruction feature then I'm pretty sure I would know or have at least heard about it."
well, you are hearing about it now. I thought it was just a bad unit that I got and nothing I could do about it, but it seems like it is not uncommon. many people have this defect in the DS lite. - rufo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Funny. I just noticed this this morning, and was going to call Nintendo about it. I've pretty much coddled mine; always kept it in its case, never dropped it.
It doesn't seem to actually be causing any problems at the moment, but I do worry that it might lead up to something worse down the line. - Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Just noticed your crack, eh? Well, young lady, there comes a time in every girl's life when she discovers she's different from boys...oh, wait, different subject.
- NinjaFish, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Wow, crazy. I've had mine since a couple of weeks after the Japanese launch, and I pretty much baby the thing. Never noticed the crack until today, but it is definitely there. I'm not going to worry about it unless it gets worse, but it's still a bit disconcerting.
- SkippyDoorknob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Same exact story for me! Argh!
