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.
