    Haven't played it in 3 months. Went to plug it in, charging light turns on, then off. NO POWER.

    Time to blow my money on a black DS Lite. Sigh.

    Well, it isn't all bad... I LOVE my Nintendo DS and my DS Lite and the DS system is worth owning if you're into gaming. If just want a GBA system, the Micro is pretty dang cool too. I use mine when I'm in training at work to play during breaks and lunches.

    Black looks cool. But if you're the least OCD, the finger prints are gonna drive you batty. Maybe consider the white?

    Or getting a new battery? I bought a pair of third party ones awhile back, haven't had a use for them yet, but they're out there.

    My GBA is semi-dead. This wouldn't bug me so much (I have a DS) if it weren't for games like Zelda: Four Swords Adventure and FF: Crystal Chronicles that need a GBA for a controller.

    The system works, but the screen cracked. Supreme Starscream unfortunately fell off of a desk and hit the screen.

    ^Well what do you expect? You weren't giving screamer enough attention and he is an opportunistic schemer.

    Yes, will you sing soulful music to it in a deep baritone?

    Edit
    A thought... maybe someone switched it with one that was kaput... because they knew you hadn't picked it up in 3 months? Just a paranoid thought. Pay me no mind.

    Or bring it back from the dead, and it can be some sort of GBA Necromancer.

    Get an Onyx Black DS Lite, with a www.shieldzone.com full body protector. Awesome, and the body protector will help with the smudges the body is normally so prone too.
