Does the DSi have hardware problems like the DS lite did? Like the L and R buttons do they ever stop working like the DS lites did. Does the Touch Screen get inaccurate like the DS lites did?
Conclusion: Buy a PSPjakob95 said:I had about 6 DS lites already and all of them had Touchscreen problems. I really don't want to buy a DSI and then the Touchscreen will break... I fixed my DS lites Touch screen I bought a new one from DX and Thieves Like Us replaced it for me and now it worked for 2 months and now the new Touch screen has problems again...
jakob95 said:I am really happy with Sony products they are built so good. I had my PSP for 4 years already it, it might have some scratches on the screen minor though but it still works perfectly and makes games playable and enjoyable. I am really unhappy with Nintendo's products as they always break unless its a Console.

One issue I've heard about with DSi's is that if they lock up on you, sometimes you can't turn the unit off and you have to either remove the battery, or let the battery run completely down to the point where the DSi turns off to reset it. That's one benefit of a DSlite, a physical on/off switch, and not just a button that relies on the system's OS NOT being locked up to function.

It isn't as bad as the 'DS Lite', though. I had a lot of problems with the DS Lite.

Did you have to pay out of pocket for the L/R buttons and could you tell if it was a new system or did they simply fix the problem? Just curious.
Nintendo replaced it for free.
It was covered in the one year warranty. They could tell it was a new system by the serial number.

I never had a problem with the hinge. The DS Lite on the other hand....

They generally try to give you the same color right? Say my DSi is having the same issues and it's Pink and I send it in. I won't end up with a white one right? It's not broken, but I wanted to make sure just in case something does happen. I love the color for mine, the pink is dark enough not to make my eyes hurt.
