I guess its pretty possible, i heard that it plays mp3 and take pictures, but i never heard that it plays movies, but who knows? even if it doesnt, since its SD card thing, someone would probably make some third-party add-on/mod to make it possible.

^ That is illegal dude. You should read the rules first.

Answering your question i think yes, is possible to watch movies on the DSi but you would need a SD card that can hand the size of the movie in terms of MBs but as that DSi can support SD cards up to 32GB you are not gonna have problems in that. Your only problem would be money since (i think) those cards are pretty expensive.

Dude, don't even waste your time with a DSI, get this instead: SanDisk Sansa Fuze 4 GB MP3 Player (Black) Its perfect, mp3s, movies, pics and a whole lot cheaper. You already have a DS so so what if this doesnt play games.

It would be nice for dsi to get an update in the future that can allow videos and flash support on the browser.

Why watch movies on a DS? Why hassle with Nintendo's quirky attempts at offering media?

Oh take the complaints to System Wars, why don't you?

It would be cool if the DS-i could play video. It makes sense to me.

I know its illegal, but i'm not encouraging it, i'm just saying that EVEN IF THE DSi DON'T READ MOVIES, its possible that some third-party development develop a way to do it, i'm not saying that i will develop or the people SHOULD develop, i'm just saying that its POSSIBLE. And who knows? even Nintendo itself can make it official, if they see a point on it.
