@ twesterm why doe the lack of gba port make it worthless? given the cheapness of gba's nowadays and the fact there is already 2 ds models with gba support its a pretty pathetic argument. the gba is dead, get over it already

 

Why would I want to carry two handhelds around?

@twesterm - you don't, just pick one and go with it, play the other one next time around, sheesh.

how lame do you have to be to not get a DSi purely because it has no gba slot. if you love gba games you'll have either a ds phat/lite or gba so stop moaning. also the gba is DEAD, move on. nintendo can't keep gba ports forever. it would be like putting a slot for nes cartridges on the wii - stupid and unessacary. gba games will probaly become part of virtual console in time anyway.

Will probably buy one when it hits Europe as my original DS purchased the week of launch in USA seems to have stopped being able to download from other DSs, although it still works ok with the DS download channel.



NintendoMan on 18 February 2009

apparently nintendo will be making an announcement regarding european release this week (source edge online) the dsi's american price at current exchange is £119, not sure about euro's, i personally would expect a price tag of £129.99 tbh

NO

having a dslite already and crunched for money no point in spending over 100$ on this. if a ton of dsi only games come out that i want then sure later on i might.

Isn't VAT like 20%, so considering the US price doesn't include tax, using a straight exchange rate + tax would be around 140GBP
