-Got the first DS at launch when my kid was 3 or 4 years old. She was attracted to the pretty colors or something and wanted it. Destroyed the touchscreen. -Got the second DS Christmas of that year. Through a dramatic chain of events, it somehow became an unwritten rule that that DS was my daughters and the original broken one was mine. After a while, is suffered numerous scratches and a broken hinge. -Then, I got a DS Lite. It looked so much better than the original, that my daughter took it. It lasted for a really long time, then one day it fell out of the car (I wasn't there) and it wouldn't power on. That was over a year ago. Maybe two. I can't remember where it is, but I've just had a starting revelation! I never tried to fix it. MAYBE THE BATTERY JUST GOT KNOCKED LOOSE!!!! -We stole one. It's a DS Phat. It has a broken hinge and the top screen won't show anything.
That's why I bought a PSP this year instead of another DS (wanted a DSi). My track record sucks!!!My kid is getting a pink PSP ($130 with Hannah Montanna game/UMD and a 2 GB memory card) AND DS ($99) for Christmas. She really loves MY PSP (and I've seen what happens when she likes my handhelds) and we have too many DS games!

At least your DS broke cause someone broke it. My original DS just suddenly decided it didn't want to work. My friend used to have a DS, but suddenly the top screen stopped working.
I'm the type of person who expects a gaming system to last for a few years at least. Hopefully the DSi I have now will last longer than my DS did.
