Nintendo DS, November 16, 2009
I was very pleased with the Nintendo DS that I purchased. This was a used item, but it works just like new. I was happy to find that it was in excellent condition and came with a nice protective case with space for games, etc. My daughter who is 11 loves playing her games and I have a couple of games that I enjoy as well!
Kids must have it!, November 10, 2009
I've bought it for my 7 years old son, it's great! Easy to use, nice games.
The only note is that the screen could be a little bit bigger.
Excellent!!!, November 3, 2009
Had it about 2 months now and my daughter (10yr old) looks forward to playing with it each and every day. I really like it to. NO CONS that I can think of.

This DS was delivered in a timely matter. It was just as described. Very nice!! I will be using it for a Christmas present.
Thanks!
Can't Stop Playing This!! Go Nintendo!!, October 24, 2009

I absolutely love my Nintendo DS! I play it all the time, and literally don't set it down until I fall asleep with it in my hand! Takes me back to the days when I used to go nowhere without my Gameboy. The DS is so versatile and easy to use. I take it everywhere with me and it keeps me entertained even through the most dreary of times. I would highly recommend anybody getting this if they are looking for a fun and easy way to keep them busy. There are so many great games for this that it is difficult to decide which one I want to play next. Get one now, you won't regret it!
