Here on Infendo we never hesitate to tell you about each new iteration of the DS, but I don’t think we’ve ever told you what to do with your old handhelds once you upgrade. Two dedicated young men from New York started Games For Heroes and have been sending used handheld games to troops serving overseas for almost two years now. It’s surprising to hear that the number one request from troops is for a DS, PSP, or other game, but not so surprising when you learn that a large number of soldiers are under 20 years old.
So if you get a new DSi this holiday season, consider donating your old DS or DS Lite rather than letting it collect dust.
