DIY DS Lite, minus some functionality

... Just boring stuff like playing games and existing in three dimensions. Other than that, this tutorial from reader Jillian S will show you how to make your very own DS Lite. Picture. In Photoshop.

Jillian's instructions are clear and logical, with example images throughout. You'll probably end up learning a bit about Photoshop as you go along, and, if you do well, you'll end up with an image that looks like you spent seconds searching the Internet for product images. You'll know, however, that this particular product image held a price in blood, sweat, and tears repetitive stress injuries.

We love the kinds of exceedingly detailed tutorials that people online put together for various random tasks, for no reason at all other than maybe boredom and a genuine desire to share ... that one task. Without this compulsion, there would be no GameFAQs, for one thing.

We also love the above in-progress picture of a DS with no screens and no interface. It could get a lot of use for mocking up fake DS successors.
