Free Stuff Friday - Nintendo DS Lite (preowned)

Nintendo DSIf you read the site, you know that I just invested in one of those new-fangled, no GBA-slot DSi portables. This means I have an extra Nintendo DS Lite lying around with no other use than to play GBA games (and I still have a GBA for that) and that Guitar Hero: On Tour game, which I don't really play (but that's another week's giveaway!).

So, you want a DS? It works, though it's a little worse for wear. It might last a day, a week, a year or maybe longer, depending on luck and how well you take care of it. I wouldn't give it to a small kid, but it would make a good starter system for almost anyone else as long as they're not too finicky. Just a used white DS, my favorite orange stylus and an AC adapter.

Interested? Here's how to enter:

Nintendo DSSimply post a comment on this page. Say whatever is on your mind as long as it's not an ad or profane. Be sure to read the Sweepstakes Rules to ensure you are eligible to win and don't get disqualified by double-posting or forgetting to provide an e-mail address.

You may also want to white list this domain; I've had several would-be winners lose out because they never responded to their prize notification!

Note that unless you're an authenticated poster who has been active on the site and marked as trusted, your comment will NOT appear immediately. It will go into a queue for me to approve, which I'll do several times a day (except the first weekend, where comments may not be approved until sometime late on Sunday). Do NOT double-post. We'll extend the entry period for this until 5:01 p.m. Pacific Time on Thursday, April 23 to ensure you have plenty of time to enter and verify your entry was posted.

We also give away unannounced Instant Win prizes (there were two last week!). Here are a few tips since it can happen at any time. 1) Follow me on Twitter. Before I post the next Free Stuff Bonus - Instant Win, I'll give you a fair warning tweet, 2) Subscribe to our RSS feed and set it to check for updates frequently.

We continue to stock up on cool goodies for Free Stuff Friday - and will continue to do so as long as there's enough response, even if we continue to lose money on the site. So tell your friends about this! Hey, if we get bigger, so will the prizes that YOU could win! Check back each Friday to see what's next.

2. Someone123:

I hope I win this

3. batman1939:

I need a white one

4. lan:

sweet ive been wanting one for a while now hopefully ill get it :)

5. data89 :

How is the DSi in terms of build quality? I head the DSLite has a cracking hinge problem, but I have not seen the problem firsthand. However, I am intrigued by the DSi's storage memory and slightly improved screen.

Also, is Guitar Hero on the DS a satisfying experience? Looking at screenshots of the game and the gba slot controller, the experience seems lacking compared to home consoles when mimicking authentic guitar gameplay. Anyways, I hope I can find out for myself soon.

6. Gimp:

DS is a great system, 100 million units sold can't be wrong. i was thinking about picking up the new DSi but i'm only really interested in the online stuff. i guess the bigger screens are cool too.

7. Jo:

Great site! Will be following you on Twitter! Would love even a previously owned DS!

8. Faiz:

I need a handheld gaming system!

9. Boltbacker:

This is a pretty cool thing to do. This would be perfect for my daughter.

10. garrett:

nice upgrade over my gba original

11. Quan Huynh:

Thanks!

12. Maxx M.:

Well, giving your DS away is incredibly generous of you. I've wanted one for a while but I simply couldn't spare the change.

If that orange stylus is indeed your favorite, I would suggest that you switch it with one that you're not quite so attached too. That is assuming you are attached to the stylus of course.

13. Mad D:

Very nice thing of you to do

14. Alex Vera:

Cheers mate thank you for this opportunity gl hf

15. Ricky Rodriguez:

I lost my DS >_

16. Clown:

yeah sure why not I'll bite :D

17. Harold Saxon:

I need it mine is broken.

18. Ben Lane:

I was considering picking up a DS before Pokemon Platinum hits the UK.

This would mean I wouldn't have to. xDD

19. John:

My sister just had her DS stolen a week ago by some punk kids. Here's hoping to win her a new one!

20. JT:

How cool is GW, huh?!?! My 4-year-old would love this!

21. James Deputy:

Thanks again.

22. Dennis:

Who needs a DSi when you can get a free DS :D

23. Ramen:

I really want a DS!

24. Michael Mattheis:

This would be really sweet, I've actually been debating whether or not to buy another DS as I want to "pimp" one and give it a sweet new paint job and a couple of mods, but right now got too many other financial responsibilities.

25. Eric:

I'd like to be able to pass one along to my Mom... she wore out one of my Lynxes over several years in the 90s, and would actually be able to find games at retail for a DS.
-Eric (CAG Mad Scientist)

26. Larry Perlman:

Sweet prize man.

27. Curtis Hancock:

I haven't coughed up the money for a handheld since the GameBoy Color, but this would be a good way to get in on the DS, as well as pick up some GBA games wanted but never played.

28. xycury:

This is excellent, good luck to everyone!

29. Flak:

This would be great for my nephew. Gotta get 'em while they're young.

hhmm i could use another DS , i think mine is about to bite the dust . . . . been acting a lil weird here lately LOL!!

31. Bruce:

39. Will Logan:

40. JJ:

I have a buddy that hasn't been able to get a DS yet, might be cool to give this to him.

Thanks for hosting this Giveaway. :-)

41. Jon:

I would love to get a DS. thanks so much for the contest.

42. Jared R.:

Hurray! Hand me downs! I had a DS a year or so ago, buuutttt.... I let someone borrow it who I thought would be responsible with it. It came back torn to hell without a stylus and a broken hinge. I just never got around to getting another. As always, thanks for the contest and congratulations on whoever wins.

Other than that which I posted, what did you guys think about the new Silent Hill recently announced? To me it looks about as good as it can get. I've been craving a new survival horror that wasn't run and gun for ages.

43. Dayna:

I would love to win this!

44. FatmanOSU:

This would be a great way for me to play all the GBA games that I have. Since I no longer have a GBA.

45. Flareth:

Thats really kind of you to do! I ended up giving my Lite to my little brother after he accidently broke his so I'm out one! = / The DSi sounds sweet, im jealous that you can afford one... Hahaha.

46. sebmal:

This would be a cool thing to have.

54. Nipzthegreat:

Woot thanks for this contest.

Guitar hero on the ds is decent unless u have big hands then it is a pain.

55. Necrojustice:

Thanks for the contest. My girlfriend would love this!

56. HuBu:

the wife could use one.

57. 4'33":

Orange stylus, eh? :D

The peripheral for Guitar Hero: On Tour is... interesting, to say the least. It definitely takes some getting used to. Though to be fair, I've only tried out an in-store demo, and you know how well set up those displays are.

58. Omnian:

My DS died a while ago but I've not got a replacement since. It'd be nice to win this one, haha.

59. TVReeh:

Just followed you on Twitter. Thanks for the contests!
