DS Climbs Mt. Everest - DS

17th June 2005, 9:19pm
At the beginning of June, two people set out to climb Mt. Everest - and took their DSs with them. When asked about how they went, they had this to say:

"How’d the Nintendo DS withstand the high altitudes? We totally had so much electronic equipment, and I’d say the Nintendo DS held up the best of any of it...We were using a CB radio to stay in touch and that would consistently go bad...we had a Dell computer that got fried, a Polytechnic screen that went out... we had three of the four MP3 players go bad... but the Nintendo DS units keep hanging in there...

...it was the Nintendo DS units that suffered the worst of it - they were constantly with us in our tents which were moist and cold... they were right there in our packs so they suffered a lot of wind blasts, they were dropped..."

That has to be the largest height that a game console has ever been to (on ground - planes don't count).
