Sorry, but whoever says the game cards are "fragile" obviously hasnt run over one of their cards with a quad. I tested the "capability" of Madden 2005 with my best friends quad a few months ago, and it actually DID crack, but the board and game itself still work. And before anyone is like, "OmG Why did you run over a 30 doller game ON PURPOSE!?", It was a double...I already owned it, but I got ANOTHER one for my birthday from my Great Grandma, who had no clue if I even owned the system XD. So yea, I ran over the old one. Rather fast though, I didnt go over it slow, as I knew that coulda been bad.
I actually do things like this alot...One time EGM said that they tested the GBASP's durability by flushing it in the toilet, and taking it out and turning it on, and it turned on again in 2 days. I tryed it myself with a NEW ONE, and it broke That was ok though, I brought it back to Funcoland (Now gone ;_ and was like, "Yea my little brother dropped this in the toilet, is there anything you can do?" And they said you can get it replaced with a five dollar payment. I wasn't sure where the whole five dollar payment came from, but I did anyways and got another one. So yea...Thats the end of my rather stupid long story.

I do think that one weakness of the DS is of course, the Dead Pixel problem (Oh NoEs). Yes I have one dead pixel. In my bottom right corner. Its like, not viewable from some angles, its weird. I had one just like it in my GBASP. And the BIGGEST, most annoying thing about the DS...Well MY DS is that....Bugs. They got under my screen. Yes. I even called Nintendo about it(Edit: Oh, and Nintendo, it was some woman I talked with, and she was like, "Are you serious? We have never heard of this problem.". That made me feel all the better...), and they were like, we can send you a new one, and blah blah blah, but my Mom all of a sudden last minute changed her mind saying she didnt want to send it...Why I dont know. Anyways, YES Bugs got under my screen. Many people confirmed it to show I wasnt delearious. You see, they werent under the GLASS! No no no! They were under the layer of PIXELS! YES! The actual SCREEN under the glass! You would see these little grey spots walking around under there randomly...

At first you wouldnt see them. Then they would come out when you turn on the light. This was all on the bottom screen mind you. So it was bothersome and gross...I didnt use my DS for about a week. NOW, a week ago, i noticed some more on the TOP screen. There was about a 2 month distance between the last time I saw the bugs, and they were back! BULLSHIT I though. But I was wrong. They were there. I havnt caught wiff of my little friends in the past few days, but I do know one died, right in the center. Now theres a FUCKING little grey splotch right above my FUCKING RACER in Mario Kart. It's fucking bothersome!

Holy shit...Long post...Time to stop. More weak points some other time.

The color "blur" can occur with ANYTHING.

Lag, as well, can occur with anything. It's nothing to snuff at. Lest it's actually preventing gameplay, don't pay attention to it.

And if you're going to say the Microphone sucks, you should atleast back up your complaint with the facts.

You did put the plastic thing between your thumb and the screen, right?
