The Super Soldiers previously brought you the story on cracks developing on the left hinge of the DS Lite. Various other gaming sites were reporting on whether or not Nintendo would be charging $50 dollars to fix the crack.
Nintendo went on the record to let people know. The crack developing in the DS lite is extremely isolated (1 in every 5,000 or 0.0002% of total DS Lites) and is not detrimental to gameplay so it would be a waste of Nintendo’s time to recall and repair all of them. However, for those wishing to have a cosmetic repair on their DS Lite, it would come at a cost of $50. Of course this may be a bad PR move on their part but the fact of the matter is, according to Nintendo, that the crack does not affect gameplay. So if anyone wishes to have their DS Lite repaired, just ask yourself first, is it really worth $50…
