I made this topic because there has been many mixed reactions on the DSi. Personally, I don't like it. The only differences are the cameras and DSiware. Everyone thinks that if you add a camera to something it makes it so much better. WRONG! Cameras just add some useless add-on that has to have a camera to work. Then there is DSiware. This is ripoff of Wiiware, and was added on so Nintendo could make 2$ more from downloads. The only things that are worth downloading onto the DSi is the old Gameboy games. Which brings me to Exhibit B. THE DSi CANNOT PLAY GAMEBOY GAMES. That was what made the original DS so popular. It could play 2 types of games. But now, they added DSiware in place of a the Gameboy slot. Are they out of there mind????? Anyway, let me here you're opinions on the DSi. This is my opinion.

I agree with you.When i bought DS Lite DSi was announced but i never thought of buying it because i love the old gameboy games.Backward compatibility is essential for every new console.

So what you are saying is the DSi should play the original Gameboy games? No, it shouldn't, and why? Because that is ridiculous! People need to get over the fact that the GBA is done, over, DEAD. You are as bad as racist biggots in the south who think that the Confederacy is going to rise again. Get over the fact that we don't need a GBA slot anymore, they are not marketing this towards people who have been long time fans. For example when i got my blue DSi my girlfriend also got a black one, but guess what! She doesn't own a single Advance game! Why? Because it is old. She even commented how stupid people are for complaining about not having that slot, because it is a handheld with hundreds of games and you complain about using inferior goods. Give it up, cause I hate to break the news that the GBA stopped having games even made in about 3 years. It is phased out.

Please tell me you were joking when you compared gameboy games to racism.

^ Totally.

And you need to have owned a DSi before you can bash it. It's a lot better then it sounds.

I think your problem is that you are misinformed. I'd explain, but I'm not in the mood to make another rainbow wall of text.

For me, it's the cracked hinges. I had a Phat, needed a new one, but held off on getting a DS Lite because I didn't want to deal with cracked hinges. The DSi doesn't have this problem anymore.

I'm glad that I have a DS Lite but I do like that you can transfer pictures in your DSi to your Facebook page.
