Nintendo DS Lite Polar White (Renewed)

I was a little nervous to buy this seeing the overwhelmingly positive reviews. You never know if they are all fake reviews, however, I took the chance. It was a gift for my boyfriend after all! He REALLY wants to play Pokemon again, but he lost his DS years ago and I wanted to surprise him with it. Even just opening it myself gave me a blast from the past!Regardless,I bought the DS specifically from "Console Replay." I don't know if that makes a difference in the quality, but I thought I'd include it just in case anyone is curious. The DS works well so far though! The sound is good, the screens are not scratched or broken, and the buttons seem to work (other than the direction pad, it is a tiny bit loose. Overall though it still works). The game slot sounds like it might have some grime in it, but I inserted a game card and the game still ran. Awesome! The exterior is pretty clean too and had the stylus inside. The stylus was working well and wasn't broken despite those things being the easiest part to break or lose. The best part though was that it came with its own charger. I really enjoyed not having to buy a separate cord for the device. Unfortunately, I don't have any gameboy cartriges so I wouldn't be able to test it out, but I'm sure it would work well too based off of everything else. Overall, it was a pretty good buy. I'm glad I did take that chance, although I hope nothing changes with the DS (quality wise) in the meantime.

The system arrived in good condition. I am very happy with what I got for what I paid. It doesn't play modded games, but it does play standard DS games. I'm happy with the purchase.

First, and foremost, as an Amazon Refurb item this product SHOULD come with a charger. It did not. So, even though it technically works and came pre-charged... I guess I only get to use it once?Second, the packaging was terrible. There was one small single piece of bubble wrap in an overly large box and that's it. No casing, no protection, just a DS Lite rattling around in a box eight times its own size with about 15 bubbles worth of bubble wrap to hopefully cushion the 1800 mile journey. I'm genuinely surprised it arrived with only a few scuffs and not completely broken.Third, it was disgusting. Just pulled out of a toddler's mouth disgusting. I had to take the entire thing apart and clean it with alcohol wipes and cotton tipped applicators before I could even consider giving it as a gift, which was the intent here.Fourth, it wasn't "refurbished". It wasn't even reset. In fact, I'm pretty confident that they just took it from that toddler and shipped it directly to me. All of the original owners settings were still in place. Which for a DS is pretty impressive, considering they take less than 5 seconds to reset. Clearly this company didn't have ten seconds to spare... five for the reset and five to throw in enough bubble wrap for the journey.Fifth, there was no GBA cartridge port cover. I guess we just leave a game in it indefinitely.Last, it's not "Polar White" as described. It's incredibly yellowed and from what appears to be sun damage.The only thing I can say that's positive I guess is that it does in fact turn on... but from the looks of everything else I don't expect that to be a recurring win.

The unit was delivered quickly and in good working order. However, the stylist pen is really gross. Whoever owned this before chewed the end off.

I bought this for my boyfriend’s birthday and I wanted to make sure it was working well before I gave it to him. This brings me way back to my childhood hood this works so well and come with charger. It is very clean and kept jn great condition

Everything worked perfectly minus the charger. It didn’t work so I opened it and saw that one of the cables wasn’t attached so I mended the wire to the main plug and sorta fixed it. Although it charges now it takes a long time to fully charge. Thanks

Worked great and my son loved it.

I'm impressed. This is the first legacy device I have ever purchased, so I was quite nervous. The system arrived quickly. I opened the package, and the system was a pristine white, absolutely beautiful. I turned it on, and the sound quality was beautiful. Impressive touchscreen capability considering it's age. I highly recommend if you want a legacy device with the same quality it had when it was sold in stores.
