My phat DS never got a broken hinge :s Never heard of any friends with that issue either lol

I think that was more a DS lite problem. I am not sure. It wasn't a major isssu, but it was one of the few notable problems about DS. 

Yep, it was the DSLite that had the hinge problem. The DSPhat was a monster... nothing could destroy that beast haha.

As for the "loose" hinge, my 3DS (launch day) has a little movement when I move it around. Not enough to affect anything, but it is noticable. My sister's 3DS (got it for Christmas) is much sturdier.

So for the OP: If you can go and replace it with a new one, but if you can't then it's not really a big deal.

I agree with you about the DS Phat, or as I used to call it "The Nintendo Tank".

I remember one day grabbing my jacket from the car through the open window not knowing my DS Tank was in the jacket. Anyways, when I yanked hard on the jacket the DS flew out of the pocket, like 10-15 feet into the air and came crashing down the pavement.

Of course the most it endured was a few scratches.

 

 

Now that thing was quility built.
