wow, massive downgrade...and I mean massive...but I suppose if you weren't using it then...well...it's your loss and some else's gain....

In anycase I think the DSi is trash, the DS lite is just so much better and cheaper, I can have it at a high brightness setting and still maintain a good battery life...all the DSi brings to the table is a download service and that's all.
The DSi camera is cheap and gimmicky, I mean it's not even a 1 mega pixel camera, it's only 300k, the music player....if you own anything but AAC encoded music then your screwed...otherwise if you sleep with apple ipods, then your fine.

In my honestly opinion, for 100 bucks extra which the DSi cost over the regular DS, the DSi ends up being a massive ripp off if your upgrading from DS to DSi, otherwise if one has never owned a DS before, then I suppose a DSi would be ok...although I would definitely recommend people against it, they'd be better off buying a DS lite before their phased out and a couple of games, or waiting for the download service to be good before buying a DSi.

For the record, I don't own a DSi, I just own 2 DS's, one phat and one lite, both my sisters bought the DSi, and both were disappointed, I just borrowed the DSi from one of them, and played around with it for a bit...and to say the least...I too was disappointed...

 

first off, right after you said that the only thing the dsi brings to the table is a download service you go on about how is have music playback and cameras..

 

way to argue a piint..

and second, when argueing a point get your facts straight..

the dsi is only 40 dollers more than the ds lite..

 

thanks.. oh yeah and the dsi alos brings to the table.. bigger and better screens..

 

 

oph yeah and lets not forget that 90 percent of ps3 games are trash and the NDS'S catalouge is 10000x better...

 

thanks again 

 

 

Not everyone on this site is from the good old America, it would of been wise to 1st check where I was from, or at least ask, but since you didn't, then I will calrify, I am from Australia, and over here the DS lite has a RRP of $200AU, and the DSi has a RRP of $300AU, so you can do the maths.

See the highlighted part, yeah I LoLed at that, seeing as that number has no basis, after all games are a subjective matter because we all do have different taste, and to be frank with you, that number you mentioned can also be applied to the DS line up, you know cuz their is tons of shovel/trashware on the DS.

In anycase, I was giving my own opinion on the DSi since I had a chance to play around with it, I'm just surprise you had such a reaction to my post, it's like I hit a nerve or something....I mean I never said the games were crap seeing as I have 2 DS's, infact I recomended the DS lite...so really your game argument is...well...stupid and unfounded.
