Don't buy the DSi...

I couldn't care less about GBA BC on my DSL. Aside from sporadic games of SMB3, I don't really use that slot for anything anyway (I'm no GH fan). When it becomes available I'll probably be all over the DSi. Then I can hand my DSL down to my wife, who loves SMB3 to death anyway.

Acronyms are fun.

Buying it when a cool bundle comes out.

There are tons of other ways to play GBA games (including keeping the DS you already have), so other than shorter battery life (which I honestly don't care about) I'm not exactly worried about anything. And for the people that said hey can't afford one, not only has it's price not been revealed yet, it doesn't even have a release date yet. I'm pretty sure you have time to work up some cash for one if you want it.

I will be getting a DSi.

Just like there were no DS Lite exclusives vs. the original DS, there will be no exclusive DSi games. Downloadable games don't count. There's no way Nintendo would split the market on one of their cash cow systems.ItsEvolution

While a lot of people out there are gonna be dishing out the 200 something bucks for a very minor upgrade of something they already have, I'll be sitting comfortably on a stack of $200 that I can spend on what, five to seven new DS games...or something else entirely, like an external hard drive or a new watch. It's just so easy to come up with more practical things to spend that $200 bucks on! drummer131

The DSi is nothing but Nintendo trying to siphon more money out of our pockets. Want some proof? Look at every single game they have made recently. They're all uncreative games with absolutely no replay value. All Nintendo can make these days are games that "Everyone should have, and nobody likes." They have to rely on their fanboys and fangirls that think all of their games are good because- oh my god, they're clasics!

My main complaint is with the disappearance of backwards compatability, i though backwards compatability was what nintendo was all about.
