Anyone else, like me, entirely hinging their possible purchase of DSi based on whether there's a decent DS Lite trade in at Gamestop/EB ?

I never owned the original DS, but does anyone know what Gamestop/EB typically gave back as trade in value when the DS Lite came out?

Right here. I need me a DSi something fierce but I will trade in my DSL and a few games in a heartbeat.

No. I never owned a DS Lite only a DS Phat. So I'm keeping the old school one and buying a DSi. Not that I need the old school one but still nice to have it.

Having both the DSlite and the original DS, i think i should add the DSi to my collection of gameboys. Yes!

I need to keep my DS Lite for Pokemon.

keep the DSL.

I'm also curious whether the increased CPU speed and extra RAM will have a noticable impact on WiFi games that lagged. The original Crystal Chronicles for example ran into some lag issues when you tried to 4 people playing simultaneously. Also, I remember Bangai-O lagging a fair bit when there was way too much stuff on the screen at once.
