DS Lite in PSP sleeve: gaming's Oreo

by James Ransom-Wiley { Jun 21st 2006 at 8:25PM }

Our DS Lite recently acquired some unsightly blue stains* after being stashed, naked, in our back pocket. To prevent further mishaps, we had to locate a cheap solution, and fast -- cannibalizing our only pair of jeans just wasn't an option (sadly, even Joystiq editors have to wear pants).

Enter the PSP sleeve. We tossed out the old junk inside and slipped in our pearly white friend. Thus was born: gaming's Oreo.

*These were later removed with a soft paper towel moistened with a light soapy solution.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with just one pair of pants. :x

ive been doing this for the last 2 weeks as well after getting those same blue Jean Marks on the L and R buttons, aswell as the screen Hinge. Plus I have like 3 spare PSP softcases. It fits in there really nicely with 2 games and the thumbstylus from DS-Fat, and even a screen wipe.

Hmmmm bias? I love the DS Lite though, it's soo sexy :p

silverSurfer @ Jun 21st 2006 8:33PM

Well, I didnt get any funky stains like you guys, but I definetly tried out the oreo sandwich. It works great! That soft black case was the best $250 I ever spent! Ok, maybe not.

JB @ Jun 21st 2006 8:33PM

lol tossed out the junk inside

Conrad Quilty-Harper @ Jun 21st 2006 8:40PM

We have to wear pants now?

Bobadillo @ Jun 21st 2006 8:45PM

Seriously Joystiq, I really do love your Nintendo bias. Please don't ever change. SONY SUXXX!!!

MetaHuman @ Jun 21st 2006 8:57PM

Get a round sleeve for a Wiimote and you could have a Ho-Ho. Hostess rocks!

"sadly, even Joystiq editors have to wear pants"

Why? I thought you guys are bloggers; at least, that's what you keep telling us. What the hell do bloggers need pants for?

"You're a blogger?" "Yes." "Thank you for wearing pants."

Adam @ Jun 21st 2006 9:09PM

Wow that's a great idea thanks. Now I have to dig up my old PSP sleeve.

obo @ Jun 21st 2006 9:10PM

PS

STFU JOYSTIQ WITH UR NABISCO BIAS

U GUYS ALWAYS HATIN ON KEEBLER JUST CUS THEY MORE EXPENSIVE

n8dogg @ Jun 21st 2006 9:14PM

Dude, STFU obo, Lance beats the shit out of everything.

Plus, they have Adam Carolla do their commercials.

WIN.

Jerome @ Jun 21st 2006 9:17PM

That works like a dream.

The3rdNuisance @ Jun 21st 2006 9:21PM

And its joking comments like obo's that start flame wars. I find my PSP's sleeve very useful for holding nice fresh dog feces, my PSP ain't in it, because its in immaculate condition on my desk due to half a year of nothing to play on it... Until Ace Combat X comes out...

chickensnack @ Jun 21st 2006 9:26PM

I've crammed my old DS into my PSP sleeve just for kicks. IT KIND OF FITS!

ct @ Jun 21st 2006 9:28PM

you know what's in my psp sleeve? my psp, damnit.

SUPER NERD WANTS TO FIGHT! @ Jun 21st 2006 9:32PM

Slownewsday? *SNIRK* Let's haff some real news, Joysteek.

Khash @ Jun 21st 2006 9:34PM

And what exactly is this post supposed to be about? Because clearly it's not about news or worthwhile opinion.

AbleJames @ Jun 21st 2006 9:37PM

Same thing happened to me. I went home and 15 minutes later had a portable DS Lite case tailor made from paper, duct tape, and a cannibalized Ziploc bag.

I mean, I would never slum to using any PSP peripheral.

Bobadillo @ Jun 21st 2006 9:43PM

HOW THE FRICK DO I VOTE FOR TOPICS I WANT TO GIVE FUNNY COMMENTS STARS BUT I FRIKCIN CANT SHOW ME WHERE TO DO IT FRICKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

SONY SUXXX!!!! RATE THIS POST -2 STARS!!!!!!!!!!

Intangible 360 @ Jun 21st 2006 9:50PM

"We tossed out the old junk inside" I found tha very amusing, then again I just picked up a DS Lite yesterday and I'm loving every minute of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney!

obo @ Jun 21st 2006 10:12PM

HAHA WEBLOGS ST-INC.!!!

I JUST REGISTERD NABISCOFANBOY.COM

U SUCK LOL

obo @ Jun 21st 2006 10:18PM

yeah n8dogg, Lance is awesome

I'm probably going to get some Chips Deluxe (Rainbow, of course, who the hell just gets the plain core chocolate chip) and some Nekots when I go home.

Nabisco can't innovate for crap. Just because everyone likes Oreos is no excuse to do no better than Triple Stuf Oreos. I mean, come on, it's an Oreo, but better. Psh.

"It's not a cookie, it's a _biscuit_!"

"You can dunk it in milk, yeah! DUNNNNNNNK MILK, YEAH!"

Ok I'm done for the night.

"I have here the user's manual for the Game Boy Advance, and it clearly states the following: 'Please do not store in your pants' back pocket.'" -From the Phoenix Wright TGS trailer

So you see, putting the DS Lite in your back pocket is criminal treatment of your toy. Just thought I'd point that out.

(On that note, please do not take a bath with your DS Lite, or attempt to eat it.)

Crazylink @ Jun 21st 2006 11:05PM

Can someone tell me the model number of the psp sleeve and where to get one. When I get a Lite I'll put it in one.

Sam @ Jun 21st 2006 11:22PM

Why do bloggers need pants? Don't you guys work from home anyway?

UselessGlory @ Jun 21st 2006 11:22PM

so you threw out your fuckin psp case! Sony doesnt suck (for example: There will be free online gaming, the best graphics, and an amazing lineup of games for PS3, so stfu...sony sucks hahaha good one.) And yes, the PSP's achilles' heel has been its games, there arent many good ones. Like i was stoked about metal gear acid, but its a card game....HOW THE FUNK DO YOU COME UP WITH THAT! Any way, the xbox 360 comes brand new with xbox live, but you cant even play online with it. PS3 here i come, oh dont forget, the PS2,PS3, and PSP might be able to all play online together....thats awesome...

P.S. The Microsoft XBOX is merely a copy of the SEGA Dreamcast, but with a hard drive, you could talk online, and better graphics. Bad part? The SEGA Dreamcast could go on the internet, you could have your own E-Mail with sega(blablabla@sega.net), and you could hook up a keyboard and a mouse to it... just take a good look at both of them...

Raymond @ Jun 21st 2006 11:50PM

I'm waiting for the black DS lite to come out in US. I'm not against importing, but I would like the option of using the download stations here.

jadenguy @ Jun 22nd 2006 12:08AM

i'm going to assume you had a gizmondo inside of that case. i'm terribly offended that you guys would be so biased against gizmondo. it hurts every one of my sensibilities that there are products out there that many cherish that you don't so much. why can't you love it more on your site? you guys always post inflamatory remarks regarding it and it's parent company. i don't know how much longer i can keep going to joystiq if you guys are gonna keep insulting the gizmondo. you HAVE to like it. this is a blog. where's your blogerisitic integrity? GIZMONDO.

i'm so angry, i'm gonna make a comment in mcccxxxvii.

LOL GIXMO SUXOS I'M JOYSTICK I SUPPORT THINGS I LKE WIT GAMES ON EM BUT THE GIXMO SUX.

seriously, so what if joystiq likes nintendo more today. they can do that. they don't have to say wonderful things about every product out there, regardless of how much money you spent or how much fun you might have with it. everybody's saying go nintendo nowadays, even sony and microsoft. can you blame joystiq?

Sam @ Jun 22nd 2006 12:23AM

UselessGlory, it's not cool to be a bullheaded moron on the internet.

thegrey @ Jun 22nd 2006 12:27AM

Funny i did the same thing. On a side note the sleeve for the McAlly FireWire/USB 2.0 PHR-250cc fits like a glove.

Michael @ Jun 22nd 2006 1:01AM

There's no pleasing anyone. I remember when Joystiq was reporting on the Wii at E3 and everyone was accusing them of being biased against Nintendo. Will you whiney bitches make up yer minds? (p.s. I *heart* my DS Lite)

supersloth @ Jun 22nd 2006 1:15AM

Hah, I've been doing the same thing since about the second day I picked up my lite. I also enjoy how in the sleeve it feels like my DS is perfectly fine, while when my PSP was in it I was always worried about still screwing it up or dropping it. Nintendo should make a copycat that actually has a few spots to put a game or some styluses (styli?)

neale @ Jun 22nd 2006 1:28AM

useless glory - you sir, deserve negative stars. at least a few

id be busting my psp out of its sleeve but i managed to sell it on before the price drop. thank god

all i need is the black lite to arrive

bv @ Jun 22nd 2006 2:56AM

I didn't know they made pocket vaginas that big

Superdotman @ Jun 22nd 2006 3:30AM

It's sad that I initially assumed that the Oreo was some cool high-tech product I never heard of that I might read aboot in Engadget. The nice part, though, is that I now realise that my favorite childhood cookie has a really cool and high-tech name by today's standards.

BPM? @ Jun 22nd 2006 4:44AM

Nabisco has Colin Mochrie as their... um... spokes-fairy. Which cannot be beat in hilaridom.

Hmm... Hey, JRW... Have you ever accidently tried to eat that? It sure looks tasty...

Zeerak @ Jun 22nd 2006 4:53AM

Now that shows how lame is DS.Lite. It does not even come with a pouch or a sleev. I asume that screens are pretty much safer and secured but nobody likes to have scratches or the blue marks on the outer surface either.

Vince, the Freshmaker @ Jun 22nd 2006 6:02AM

And... so what if it dosn't come with a pouch, Zeerak? I'm sure you're pocket keeps it safe from scratches quite well, and if you dont want blue marks, either deal with it and clean the marks off or buy a sleeve, I'm sure you'll have a lot more money left over after buying a DS lite than if you bought a PSP. The PSP sleeve was meant to keep the screen safe, and since the DS lite does that on its own, why do you need a sleeve for it anyways?

People need to think before they post.
