this auction is not for the machine itself , you are infact bidding on a link to a website that will send you a DS as a free gift once you buy a ringtones cd from them, which costs £25 also this site is not run by myself so i cannot garrenttee they will actually send you one, all i will garrenttee you is the link.
ah i thought that pic made it look big and clunkyTeasy said:jvd
Yeah I agree, in reality (as the pic I posted shows) DS is quite small. Its the PR pics Nintendo themselves released (like the one shown on that site in the first post) that make it look big and clunky.
(the upper screen shifts the center of gravity)

The top screen is very thin compared to the base as a matter of fact the base is at least twice the thickness of the top half. If you've seen pictures of its profile, you'll know what I'm talking about. Just look at the SP, it's just a smaller version of the DS and it doesn't have balance problems.

Naturally the majority will be in the bottom half (battery and such). Yet my only fear was that, when using the stylus, you likely aren't holding the DS in the same manner as you would sans stylus (two hands) because now one hand is holding the stylus and the other is forced to cradle it. It's this cradling that I worry about as it might be more tiring to stretch the hand around the width of the base.
Why would you hold the width of the base when you could hold the height of the base considering the DS isn't square like the SP?

Becasue you would most likely be using the d-pad along with the stylus to play a game, like with Metroid.

i can hold a xbox in one hand. and if i'm a bit carefull even with a ps2 on top of that
PC-Engine said:Try this then:
Take an SP with screen open, hold the bottom half from top to bottom instead of from left to right. Now imagine the SP having a touch screen in the bottom half and using a stylish for input and holding it like I described. Why would you hold the width of the base when you could hold the height of the base considering the DS isn't square like the SP?
