I've googled and i've searched but I've yet to find one solid answer. My DS has always had a crack at the hinge or so I believe it is the hinge [its the same centerpiece that the microphone is on, but its all the way on the rightside by the power lights]. Just today my girlfriend was a little rough on my DS T_T and the crack got a shitload bigger lol. I read and saw that Nintendo was replacing DSes with the hinge problem for free, but then there are a handful of sites saying I'm going to need to pay.

So whats the deal? Has anyone dealt with this problem recently enough to have any useful responses? My DS works fine but the top screen is pretty wobbly and i feel uncomfortable, I think it's going to snap off verrrrrrry soon .
