Lots of trolls and morons in this topic. Topic creator sounds like an upset little kid, and a few others are trolling Nintendo calling their hardware shitty.
Yet Sony is the only company whose hardware I've had problems with...and I own over 20 systems. Disc read error ring a bell, anyone?
Overall, I'd have to say that this topic sucks ass. Electronics break. Nintendo's don't break often, Sony's are pretty much guaranteed to break, and Microsoft's stuck in the middle. Big deal. You're bitching about having to pay to get your DS fixed because your warranty expired - you'd have the same experience with Sony or Microsoft. I think they only offer like 3 months of warranty anyway.
