We've seen the cracks. No sweat, they don't interfere with game play so suck it up, right? And if you're really worried, Nintendo has acknowledged the problem and offered free repairs. Granted, the crackage sucks, I never though it was a huge problem. Until now.
Kotaku reader Marty dropped us a line, recounting what happened to his Lite:
My DS Lite didn't have a scratch, crack, dead pixel, anything, until I was playing it this afternoon and the corner broke off. Now the only thing holding the top screen to the bottom is the wire. I'm still a fan of the DSL. I take great care of it, but I'm not fanatical. I justed wanted to let my fellow fans of the DSL know that the system is not perfect, and if you get one that seems perfectly fine be prepared for something like this.
Eek! That's like the super crack. This is the first I've heard of this kind of damage. From today, I shall commence handling my Lite wearing velvet gloves, not in direct sunlight and only under room temperature. Another not-for-the-faint-of-heart pic after the jump.
