hmm i didn't hear about the sd slot, but i did hear that it had a built in R4.Cristlelinia
That would be the biggest mistake in videogame history. I think you misunderstood what was said. The DSi is no longer compatible with the said device, or any others of its nature. The DSi is like the DS 1.5. More than a DS, but not exactly a DS2. It takes all of the DS' current functionality, with the exception of compatibility with GBA games and peripherals like the Guitar Hero grip, and adds new ones. Among the upgrades are two cameras(Outside and inside, inner being 0.3 megapixels, outer being 3.0, an image editor is included), a music player(visualizers, audio filters, only plays .aac format), a larger screen(3.25in as apposed to 3.0in, resolution remains the same-256x192), a download store(DSi Store, like the Wii shop channel. The DSi store launches with new versions of Brain Age), a voice recorder(10sec each and can be played through various filters), a greater width, length, but smaller depth, a longer stylus, and a downloadable web browser. A new, much needed feature is the ability to return to the new Wii-esque menu without shutting down the system. You can also swaap out games without shutting it off. The only real downside is that the battery life is shorter, the brighter screens can get so bright that the battery life will be reduced to 3hrs and that the DSi loses compatibily with 3 games and any features regarding the GBA slot. The device is currently being sold in Japan for $180, and will be sold in other territories well into 2009. There is no release date as of now.
Note: The DSi should be less than the Japanese price due to products usually being more expensive there as the DS Lite costed $160 there and $130 here.
I congradulate all who had the attention span to read this. < /topic>
