I went for the DSL rather than wait for DSi. It's all about tradeoffs.

DSL gets you access to the GBA library, compatibility with certain peripherals, better battery life, easy access to homebrew with flash carts if you like, and you save $50.

DSi gets you cameras, better internet functionality (tempting), a second touch screen (is there any software support for it yet?), more multimedia functionality, access to DSiWare library, and an SD slot.

The clincher for me was that the GBA library is way cooler than DSiWare (for now at least) and I don't have to wait to buy my DS. :3

 

There is no second touchscreen.

 

 

Anyway, I live in the UK, but when the DSi is released it really depends on what the online offers.

 

Of course chances are Pokemon Platinum will be released here before the DSi, so I'll probably just get a Lite anyway.

 

Right you are. I must have been reading an over-excited preview when I picked that up. I'll go edit that list.
