I have bought the DS for my daughter, age 9 My daughter seems very happy with this console, although she had some problems with nintendogs (maybe unrelated to console). She said that she would like better graphics though. Excellent The Nintendo DS lite is an excellent game system for my children. They love the many games that can be played, and take it on road trips to help ease the boredom of a long car drive. Entertaining but lacking long term play value Everything worked well as expected. We found it entertaining. We only bought two programs (Brain Games). We did find after a week it no longer fascinated us as it once did. It now sits on the table unused. It just didn't hold our interest. As you use it more and more it adds new tests to your brain "workout." They are creatively done. At the end of the session you are given a "mental age." I question how accurate this is but it was entertaining. We were disappointed to see how it competes one player against the other. When you finish an exercise it may respond with something like "Bill did better than you. Try to pick up your speed." The responses to how you are doing seem to be very limited so after you have seen the same response fifty times they get pretty boring. The play value is high for a few days but because you do the same things over and over it gets old pretty fast. Even with a selection of programs it just didn't do it for us. Great and Fast Service ! We ordered the Cobalt Blue DS and it arrived in no-time. It really is the best handheld game-console I have ever seen, also the wireless mode in which you can compete with other owners is very fast ! If also looks great and much more exclusive then the standard colors.... Rene
