If I didn't have a DS already I would get the DSi. This is because the DSi will have access to the Nintendo Store, has a hard drive, and an SD card slot. I have a Gameboy Advance SP, so I don't really need the gameboy slot.

When I replace my DSL it will be with a DSi.

DSWare is going to be the bee's knees.

I don't think the DS Lite's price will drop this year, since the DSi is $40 more. But next year the DS Lite will probably drop to $100. and their is a tiny tiny chance the DSi might drop to $150 next year too. IMO.

DS lite over DSi anytime.

DSi I think. But I still don't know if it actually has enough games I want to warrant a purchase.

Right now I'm not interested, but in the future I could be interested even in a used one for those recipe programs, it looks much more practical than using a PC and also than of a classic recipe book.
