As long as you avoid dropping it off a cliff you should be ok.
@Happy: Yeah, Nintendo's support rocks. I have had 3 problems with their consoles, a phat DS whose upper screen would only display the blue part of each pixel (maybe a bad connection) out of warranty; a lite that would sometime shut off when pressing the b button (or a, don't remember now) under warranty, and a Wii (out of warranty) with a noisy drive that started not loading texture and geometry information in NMH fast enough so that I would ride to some the K-entertainment building (for example) but could only get to the curb outside and not to the grass between it and the building because the game thought its geometry was a cube (hadn't loaded the geometry info due to to slow a drive) and the texture were a blurry low res mess. Had to run away and back for it to load properly.
Total cost? A £1 or £2 at most for the gas to go there (their UK repair centre is like 3-4 miles from my house). Don't know why they didn't make me pay for the out of warranty repairs but I am not gonna complain.
