DS pain

[Ether]

I'm just currious if anyone else has this problem...my ds is killing my hands they actually hurt after about twenty minuts of holding it while on the psp I could go for days with no problem to my hands..Im sure its the shape of it,mabey because its so square? Because holding the two is roghly the same....
I just wanted to see if anyone had a simlar issue with it
Sorry if this was the wrong place to post this....but it is a system....so I figured.....

The only pain with my DS at the moment is... I can't find it! I've found numerous styluses, but not the system... It's somewhere in the house, I know it!

But yeah, when I hold it sometimes, the corners poke into the palms of my hand. Not painful, but uncomfortable...

can I have a stylus? I lose them like candy with a kid

The only problem I get is my fingers start to hurt if I play a game like Mario Kart for hours.

God does it hurt.

Squeenix really loves making games that makes all the buttons have a constant purpose.

I haven't played all that often on my DS, but enough to the point where my fingers become uncomfortable and numb. I was playing Chrono Trigger DS last night, and after about 20 minutes, my thumbs were aching because of the awkwardly tight position of the buttons. On the PSP, its more spread out and relaxed. The buttons on the DS are almost clockwork. The buttons almost mirror each other on the two sides of the touch screen.

But, I didn't create the DS, so I can't complain too much. I just wish the buttons were a little more reasonable.

Well it really depends what type of DS you have, there are 4 now, I think. The original isn't so bad, but the lite is a killer, (thank god Soul silver is mainly touch screen -_-') I don't know about the DSi and DSi XL...

The only time my Ds has ever caused me pain is when I played a DBZ game. I ad to button mash and I that that shit..

I've been playing my DS for about... umm... a good few hours (*blushes now that I've realised I've been playing for-SSHHHH!*) today, and my hands feel absolutely fine. ^^;

Maybe it's the way you're holding it?

Hahaha. It's the PSP that hurts me - I get a cramp along the side of my hand after about twenty minutes play time with any of my games.
