DSlite Navy Impressions. Loads of pictures inside!

Published 4.29.2006 by Dexter | Spread the Chafe

Ho ho! It arrived yesterday, any guesses as to how I spent my night?

Good old Lik-Sang got my DSlite to my in no more than a mere three days with DHL Shipping. The machine itself is perfect. No stuck pixels, no problems charging in the UK thanks to a USB Charger sold at the same place - and the build quality is superb - no slack-Alice-hinges.

Even though the machine looks a rather attractive blue here, in poor lighting conditions, the DSlite actually looks black. If you're holding out for a black DSlite, then Navy is the closest thing available. A DS that changes colour in different lighting conditions. Who'd have thought it?

To say the DSlite oozes quality is an understatement. It's a joy to hold, a joy to look at, and a joy to show off. Especially in the grass...

The four brightness levels are a godsend. The brightest option can surpass the PSP's high level of light, even in the sun, the DSlite's screen doesn't really wash out at all. Pictured is brightness level two.

I can't complain with my Navy. Well, I suppose I can. It does show finger prints on the back of the unit, but inside, there's no glossy finish, so no finger prints on the buttons, which more than makes up for the grease-magnet gloss on the outside. Still, PSP owners should be used to seeing their thumb marks on their machines. Lik-Sang was fantastic. They bundled in instructions on how to turn the unit into English - which is a life saver, as I would never have figured it out on my own. I suggest you buy one right now, from there, here. Click my pictures for enlargements - and ask me any questions below using the comment box. I'll get back to you ASAP!

The DSlite has restored once again my faith in Nintendo. After the Wii ordeal, and all.

Why don't you? The price it costs you to get one over here will probably be the price it'll cost when it comes out in the UK anyway.
