Too bad I didn't abuse it. Why would I want to? That's just dumb. If I abused my game stuff, I wouldn't have a perfectly functioning GBC, so how could that last longer than the DS Lite if I did abuse stuff? It had a crack going through where it broke off the back that weakened it, and since no technology was actually in that area, it wasn't built as strong. I wasn't even around in the 50's though, so I don't know crap about the stuff, so don't lecture to me about it.

Dude, I wasn't lecturing you. It just looked to me like it was dropped. It could have been dropped at the factory. Children in third world countries are just as clumsy as the ones here. Or it could have been smashed in transit. Remember the days of getting ten pounds of styrofoam with each console or handheld? Or someone in your house could have bumped it off a counter and didn't realize it. Then when you opened it up, your DS became two DS'. Either way blow-molded plastic does not create a fracture like that on it's own.
 
Why would I not notice if my DS fell off a counter? Could it climb back up so I wouldn't notice? Looks like Hines owes me ten bucks.

EDIT: Let's say it really did break from abuse. What exactly would change from me lying about it on the internet?

Well, in case you didn't notice I offered up a few suggestions. Maybe it did "climb back up" so you wouldn't notice. I wasn't there, so I don't know. It just looks like it was dropped or was damaged while being shipped.
 
It was sent as a replacement, so I guess that is possible. But, it's been ten months, so why so late?
 
I've seen wheels that were manufactured in the 70s suddenly start leaking due to manufacturing defects. It could have been something that contaminated the plastic in the mold (Or inconsistent cooling), and it was aggrivated during shipping.

So, could it have been a defect? Small chance, and we'll probably never know. I'm betting though that some shipping idiot dropped a box of them and yours just happened to be occupying the section of the box that recieved the hardest hit.
 
But it just had that one crack on the back, so that still doesn't explain how the whole thing could snap off.
