Depending on how you define serious, it looks like the DS hinge crack may be bordering on a serious a problem. According to our totally unscientific poll about 14 percent or 171 out of 1,249 of Kotaku readers who own a DS Lite and took the poll have a cracked hinge.
I think anything over 10 percent for a defect is bad. Nintendo really should be making some allowances for returns based on this issue. Hopefully when the things start becoming unhinged, they will.
