Thread: DSi

I am Typing This on my Dsi. The ocr works pretty well. But the keyboard is faster. The browser is not too bad. Its a ported Opera and it makes effective use of the dual screens. Propretary audio formats are BOO! The camera is much better than expected. I would not upgrade from a Lite, but this is great and worth the extra $$$

Is this a new console system or just a game cartrage you put in?

I've dreamed of internet on my DS! :10

im pretty sure its a whole new system

Yea it's the new version of the DS. $250 if I'm not mistaken.

$169

I am the last person in my family to get a DS, so I got the nice one. My two sons and my wife already had one and they play stuff together all the time.
Now I can join in the fun, but mine is way cooler.

Family bonding over video games. Damn I wish my family was that cool.

I will probably get one when my Lite finally goes out. Only bad thing is no GBA slot so I can't use my Flash Cart to play GBA games.

Other than that I have only heard good things.

No Guitar Hero either for the DSi or anything else that uses the GBA slots (for now, they might be able to adapt the new games to it later).

I have the original DS still, literally first gen one as I got it that Christmas. It is a great gift that I love and the only way I'd think I'd get rid of it/replace it is if my current one happens to break or something.

Sure the new DSi looks cooler and all, but for me right now, it is not worth it when my DS works perfectly fine.

I agree 100%. If you already have a DS or DS Lite, the DSi is not a good buy. But if you do not have a DS, it is well worth the extra 40 buckazoids. The lack of the GBA slot is the only drawback. Not an issue for me though. If I needed one, there are 3 DS lites and 4 GBAs at my house
