Dear fellow DS users,
About a week ago I decided to buy a DSL from EB Games so I could (only) use Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training. After not playing a single game since the hazy year I excitedly bought the original Playstation with Tomb Raider 1 (ah… memories), I thought I would not get caught up again in the world of games and gaming consoles.
While most games are now “behind me”, I ended up getting pretty excited about the homebrew community and using my shiny DSL for more than just brain training. Now I own a R4DS card, genuine Hori screen protectors, nice case, with a bunch of other accessories on the way from around the world – looks like I’m “hooked.” Also, I carefully look after all my things, such as my 15 year old, now obsolete portable CD player that looks brand new or my large collection of DVDs and CDs without a single scratch.
Two days ago I found a small “weak” pixel on my top screen that is only apparent when the screen goes black. Promptly I ran a “pixel fixer” program which helped a little bit, but you can still notice it. Problem is, now that it is far less apparent than before, I’m considering not returning it to the store because of the –numerous- stories of people returning their DS, only to get one that ends up with even –more- bad pixels.
Should I return it and run the risk of getting DSL consoles with more and more problems? The defective pixel is hardly noticeable in normal light – should I consider myself lucky, or are there
