Now I’ve never been a gamer before…so after winning a Nintendo DS Lite, I’m sure my husband was wondering when I was just gonna pass it on over his way so that it would see some play…ha ha! The jokes’ on him!
Let’s get started with this review, because I love my Nintendo DS Lite!
You turn the system on by holding the power button on the right upper side of the system for about two seconds, the green light will come on.
For this review I’ve taken screenshots of Mario Kart which is a really fun game.
The cool thing about my Nintendo DS Lite is that because I won it from another country, the back of my DS compared my husbands DS is different, my Nintendo DS Lite has less legal mumbo jumbo on the back and my husbands has a lot more..check it out.
This is the back of my DS.
Believe it or not, that’s how we’ve been able to tell them apart. 
My son recently bought one with the money he received for his his birthday, he bought a white one. It looks great, but his grubby little ten year old hands have gotten it a bit dirty, so there are no pics of his. I bought skins yesterday from Amazon for mine and my husbands’ Nintendo DS Lite. His skin is the biohazard symbol, very cool, and mine will have green flames rising from the bottom. I’m stoked.
The game system starts up easily enough, you click through the welcome screen, then the
options for game play, pictochat or download play.
I’ve taken pictures of each step through the process, though it’s pretty self explanatory, it’s nice to be able to see all the options you have. I’ve created a slideshow rather than have tons of pictures load up onto the site, I’ll use someone else’s bandwidth so you can see it and don’t have to wait for the site to load all the pictures. Each photo has a caption that explains what you see.

You’re probably wondering why it is you’re reading a review of a Nintendo DS Lite on a Money Matters website. Well, I won mine, we saved money on my husbands’ Nintendo DS Lite by using change we had saved from not using it when we receive it. And my son got enough money for his birthday to buy one for himself. And since your kids are bound to ask you for one, and you just might have found this site because you’re trying to price them and find out if it’s really worth the price.
Purchased brand new, the Nintendo DS Lite will cost you $129.99 at Gamestop, however you can also buy a refurbished DS for $119.00 and Used for $79.99. I must warn you however, the likelihood of you finding a new or refurbished one is somewhat limited. These are popular gamesystems, at a reasonable price. Reasonable enough that my 10 year old got enough money collectively on his birthday to buy one.
It’s worth it if you ask me, I’m 28, never played video games before really and now I’m hooked, once you start checking out the type of games and accessories are available, you’ll see why…
How did you do the spinning cube graphic?
