I don’t know what kind of plastic they use in the Nintendo DS portable gaming unit but it is definitely one of the best kinds of plastic I have ever seen. It is so durable and attractive at the same time, it definitely is not some of the low quality plastic that is used in other electronics. I think that for a great console like the Nintendo DS which has the support of the very popular r4 ds revolution, the Nintendo DS is much more than just a simple gaming console which is why it should be made of high end plastic.
