Is the DS really this fragile?

Nintendo: attack for massive damage!
While Joystiq might not be prepared to let go of the whole "attack the crab for massive damage" thing, we're a little more mature. We'd never stoop so low as to kick Sony while they're down, or their fans for that matter. We're mature, thoughtful individuals who treasure our relationship with competing companies.As such, we can't really speak for Nintendo, who took a chance to make fun of Sony through their Touch Generations site for 42 All-Time Classics, or Clubhouse Games. In the chat section, a small thumbnail shows that one must "shake the soda for massive damage!"
[Thanks Dennis!]
Nintendo: no love for Phat crack
Reader Kirk Winters has a problem. His DS Phat has succumbed to crack. As we previously reported, those of us who were still clinging to our Phats lost the high ground when they began to suffer the slings and arrows of cracked hinges, but we never thought it would come to this. Nintendo, it seems, is not repairing the Phats for free, as they are with the DS Lite.
Ninty, where's the love? We thought we had something special.
Kirk was heartbroken when his DS developed the same crack that raised such a stink with the Lites, but when he called Nintendo, he expected to get the same deal. No dice -- they'll haggle, but it's still not going to be a free ride if you end up in the same boat. But there's a light at the end of the tunnel. At first, Nintendo planned to charge for Lite repair, so maybe if we raise enough stink, we'll get the same treatment for the Phat.
[Thanks for tipping us off, Kirk!]
