does the regular ds's hinge ever crack and eventually break?if it dosnt crack then wouldnt it be better to have it last for a long time then to have to buy a new ds lite every time it breaks or at leasthave to allways replace it?

I've had mine since launch and use it almost everyday and it's as durable and sturdy as the first day I got it.

Yeah, when I was thinking of buying a DS I heard many horror stories about the Lite and the hinge breaking. But I've had one for several months now, and it's just as good as it was the day I got it. Just don't treat it like a brick and it'll last.

Launch DS's are definitely more durable.

i think so. I dropped myDS many a time and it didnt break. One of my friends broke his hinge on his DS, so his top screen is loose. Never dropped my DSL. Yet

Lites are sooo much better than a phat I hate mine. I treat mine with care so i don't know which one is stronger.
