Wrapstar Wrapstar Aloha Blue Skin for DS

Advantages: great looks and an extremely appealing price
Disadvantages: if only you could put them on after taking them off!

...At first thoughts you may think this is just some cruddy little sticker you will stick on your PSP and within a day or so it will begin to peel and fade and will have to be pulled off - and then it may even leave marks and little bits of sticker all over your lovely PSP. This is exactly what I thought when I first saw these skins and was not overly keen on buying one. However one of my friends found them on Ebay for around £5 and managed to persuade me to get one for my PSP to make it look 'cool'. I have to say that was one of the best buys I've made for my PSP.

Advantages: Sturdy, long battery, life, good extras, Nintendo's quality games.

Advantages: Brighter screens
Disadvantages: Lower battery

Although the DS is a nice portable system, it isn't perfect for pocket size, while I think the DS Lite really fits well. Compatibility and Peripherals- 10/10 There is so much that is available to customize DS, which makes it a lot cooler. You can buy different color styluses and pens. You can also add on skins, touch screen protectors... Read review
