Question about New DS Purchase
« on: March 17, 2010, 05:57:16 PM »
Hi,

I just bought a new DS (regular, not dsi) and it had screen protectors on it. I was wondering if the store sold me a pre-opened package or does nintendo put screen protectors on it now.

Thanks

I think that there was screen protectors in the packaging for the DS and DSLite. I got the Original DS back around the time Meteos came out originally. I think it came with screen protectors.
I got the DS Lite back a few christmas ago December 2008 and it came with screen protectors.

I don't remember screen protectors coming with my lite or my DSi.

Neither my launch DS nor my six-month old DSi came with screen protectors.  As far as I know Nintendo doesn't include screen protectors inside the package.  It's quite possible you received an open package and/or a used system.

Does the system show any signs of wear?  When you went into your system settings was there already a user name setup and/or was the clock set?  Have you tried registering your system on Club Nintendo and if so, did it say the system was registered to someone else?

Nintendo stopped making the original DS several years ago, so I highly doubt they sold you a new system (unless maybe it was a mom and pop shop that doesn't sell many games and thus could potentially have a system that has been sitting on their shelf for years).

There should be signs of whether it is new or used right on the package itself.

were the screen protectors the shape of the screen with little tab on them so you could remove it?

LOL, good thinking BnM. Were all banging our heads trying to figure out what this is and it's staring us in the face. It's the initial plastic film you pull off the screen.

the screen protectors have a white border around them, and the border was sticky so they stuck on the screens. no tabs on them.

could be a DSL that someone bought, opened and then returned.
They would probably put it back on the shelf as new if the person returned everything along with it and didn't damage the box in any way.

It looks like you just got yourself a free screen protector.
