How it sucks

It's a really pretty light pink, very girlie. I was a little concerned that the paw print featured would have a lip, like a sticker, that could get snagged or chipped with use, but nicely enough it's flush against the casing. I agree with the other reviewer in that it would've been nice to receive some sort of case with the DS, but no such luck.

I wasn't expecting the touch screen to be as accurate as it is, maybe because i'm used to the crappy touch screens in places like wal-mart when you sign your name you can't even tell what it says =) but the DS boots up fast, never lags and has dozens of really kool features on it. The games that are for the DS are very kid oriented, which is why I bought it for my 4yr old son.

But its there to stay. The DS came bundled with the Best Friends version of nintendogs. Maybe for some it will get boring after time.

It doesn't lose charge if i stop using it even for months. I had the PSP, even when the battery is fully charged, it will be dead in a week without play when i get back to it.

Nice to have a game that is teaching taking care of something instead of blowing it up! Your child will not be disappointed with this game.

We were actually looking for pink, for our daughter, but we decided after all gold would be a better choice as it would allow our boys to use it. We, of course, bought new not used. This was a great choice and a good buy and we would do it again.

if you go to any other site you'll realize that this same thing even in the crimson and black is only 129.99. they are charging you at least 179.99 just for this one thing. that should be the price of the ds AND a game or even two.

However if you are going to play basic GBA games on their, you definitely can, and it looks great, but the basic controls are a bit different. It think there is A and B control along with like X and Y. I don't know if thats going to be this universal kind of thing, because i know xbox have controls like that.

My aunt has even taken it away from me to be absorbed in it at times.

I love the color and I love the fact that the paw design is not raised and doesn't seem in danger of coming off which was a good decision on the designer's part.

It's addictive. What can I say? If you've been wanting to try this, this combo is a great deal, so don't hesitate.

I got the Nintendogs game and DS for my 7 year old daughter for Christmas. She absolutely loved the little paw on the front and has a lot of fun with the game. The dogs in the game are very realistic for a video game and kids have the opporutnity to train their dog and teach it tricks, feed it, etc.

It's a great game. The GOLD DS is awesome! It's great to walk around with a GOLD DS and make other people jealous!

She loves the pink with the paw print on it and the Nintendogs game is her favorite (she has some Disney princess ones as well). She can play with this game for hours and hours (if I let her!). Highly recommend for anyone with young children (my kids are 6 and 9, girl and boy) and they both LOVE this game.

The console is great so far and the metallic color is fantastic - a really nice, soft pink. The Nintendogs game is really fun and quite amusing at times - I own a Miniature Dachshund who is just over a year old and the first time I started playing this he went wild.

This is the first gaming system I've owned since Atari, about 25 years ago...which gives you an idea of how old I am. I've envied my nephews GameCube for years and finally decided to get my own system. After much research I settled on the DS because of the variety of games, I like puzzle and logic games more than typical "video games" though I do enjoy the occasional race around the track and other such mindlessness.

My daughter loves her new DS Lite and has been enjoying Nintendogs with all her friends. How great that their pets can visit each other and share toys. Great fun for all.

I love this format for kids that are too young for the psp---My daughter is 6 and won't stop picto-chatting to her friends and siblings. Talk about great incentive to learn your words!

I bought each of my twins this Nintendo bundle - they absolutely love it! I am amazed at everything it can do, even text to each other.

The only negative thing I can say is that the bundle didn't include a case of some sort. Overall, this is a really great gaming system and I'm really looking forward to playing the wide variety of games available.

I bought this for my daughter for her golden birthday - she absolutely loves it...but I have to admit that I do too! I even got "Spelling Challenges" and put it in my Christmas Stocking and have been playing it and learning all sorts of new words! I love that you can talk to and voice train your dogs on Nintendogs - but even better (even though I have not tried it yet) I've heard that you can use the microphone with the foreign language "games" and it will actually translate for you!

This was the second video game my son has had, and I have to say he loves it. Its great when we go on trips. It keeps my kids busy for hours.

I thought the Nintendogs game would be silly, but it keeps my 6 yr old very busy, she loves taking care of the little dogs. We also purchased the gold one for our 10 yr old, and -in his words - the Zelda game is AWESOME. :) I was impressed with the number of educational games we can purchase for this as well.

This Nintendo DS Lite is a hit with my daughter! The color stands out from her friends who have the basic pink DS and of course the game included, Nintendogs Best Friends is a hit with her and any child who loves animals. The paw print is adorable!

She especially loved the paw print on the pink metallic cover. The dog game is very realistic looking and my daughter loves taking care of her new pet.

My 7 year old (almost 8) daughter got this bundle for Christmas. She loves her DS Lite and loves that it is the Pink one with the paw print on it (the envy of all her friends). However, I was glad I also got her other games because she got bored and frustrated with the Nintendogs game very quickly and moved onto the other games she got that she likes better.

Well I had so much fun with it I found myself purchasing a ton of other games especially the puzzle games. I love the girly pink color, the controls are easy to use, there are plenty of games to keep adults amused and the weight and size makes it easy to carry in my purse, so if I find myself in a waiting room or a passenger on a long drive I can just whip it out an never be bored. The battery I find lasts a very long time between charges also.

I bought this for my nephew for Christmas and he couldn't be happier! It provides him hours of fun.

After all, it cost us 50,000 dollars. So, we are having real fun with this game. I really recommend this game, if you're a concerned parent who does not want their children to play with those violent and senseless games.

I was wrong!! She loves it. Each step is very easy and she really thinks she has a pet dog.
