DS Lite mega-review

Only those boys over at Arstechnica could post a review so awesome, so comprehensive in its scope, that it could only be called a mega-review. They go through just about every nook, cranny, and caveat that the shiny new system has to offer, including a size comparison to a brick and a low-key Seinfeld reference. What should you know?

• The battery isn't necessarily all Nintendo cracked it up to be. You'll only get around 6 to 7 hours on the brightest setting, though that can be significantly lengthened by lowering the veritable solar flare coming from your gaming device.

• Dead pixels appear to be a problem, so be sure to check your unit before messing with it too much.

• The outer coating is surprisingly scratch-resistant, despite the fingerprint-showing gloss. Good for sliding into your pocket.

• It's sexiness rating is somewhere on the level of a young Catherine Zeta-Jones. That's REALLY sexy.

Bottom line: you should get one. Wait for the other colors if you must, but don't let this slice of portable heaven pass you by.
