Confirmed: DS Lite Is Crackin' Up!

A short while ago, we ran a story on cracks appearing in the DS Lite's hinge. Well now we've had several community forum members step forward to the plate and admit that their DS Lite has been cracking up, check out this thread. There are MULTIPLE REPORTS of this happening and many pictures and acknowledgements here.

Here is just one example of many shown by members of the forums...

Damn, guess what. I just checked. And I got the crack too!!!! And this is a Nintendo Replacement unit cause my previous one had a screen problem. Wow, this sucks. Well, hopefully it doesnt get worse, thats a huge hinge. Oh well, thank god they only cost 130 and not 250 like the PSP!
Ours hasn't... yet.

Oh wow, see, this is why I don't buy first-generation consoles anymore. My first PS2 blew up in a matter of months. I hope Nintendo cares more about it's consumers than Sony does and is helpful about it!
