My D-Pad is loose and wobbles around. It's still functional, but I remember my friend's being perfectly sturdy. I'm not sure if it's a common thing or if it's a big enough issue for me to take it back and get a new one.

Well most of nintendo's portables are known for having wobbly d-pads (the DS lite, gameboy pocket, gameboy color..) but functions fine. I suggest if it affects your gameplay or just really gets on your nerves you should return it. I just tried mine and it does wobble a bit (not as much as the DSlite though )

Mine has the same problem and also squeaks a lot, Street Fighter is killing it and my thumb, that D-Pad is just too small.

The 3DS I tried at target d pad was sturdy and didn't squeak (though when you pressed on it it made a slight clicking sound just like my DSi and DS lite.)

Mine is just like the phat DS. It's not lose like the Lite.
