We're gonna need a bigger DS

by Alisha Karabinus { Sep 13th 2007 at 1:10PM }

Big hands cramping up when you play DS? Tiny screens getting you down? Then build a bigger one with tablet PCs, like this enterprising DS owner did. Known only as "loopy," this crafty individual put together the whole thing out of spare parts, but estimates that the rig might cost as much as $600 for imitators who start with nothing.

We've got a video of loopy's creation in action after the jump, and after watching it, we've got a massive urge to break out Kirby Canvas Curse again ... but now, our screens will seem so tiny and inadequate, and our Kirby so insignificant.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

While clever, doesn't this kind of defeat the whole purpose of portable gaming devices? LOL.

Haha, the guy who made the NES DS homebrew NES emulator made a giant DS screen, awesome.

I don't think it defeats the purpose. I loved using my GBA Player...you play on the small screen most of the time, but can use the big screen at home. I was bummed there couldn't be an sequel for the DS -- but here it is! Sorta.

Is the title a reference to jaws directly or a reference to clerks referencing jaws?

that's really cool! That would be awesome to show off to friends, but one of the reasons I like the DS so much is because I can lay on the couch and in bed and play it for maximum comfort! That would be quite hard to play in any other position than sitting!
