I know what most of you are going to say but ive been thinking of getting a DS for awhile now and im wondering should i get one or not now. Im afraid i left it too long to buy one cus the DS has been out since 2004 and next year maybe they might upgrade the DS to a better handheld console. I know Nintendo are dominating in the handheld market lately but that dosnt mean theystillwontcome out with a new handheld system soon just so to boost more sales for nintendo. I dunno is it really worth getting one now?

If you don't buy one then when are you going to get one? You aren't going to get a system on release cos the support sucks, so you wait...and wait...and in the end you never buy anything.

Just take the plunge and get one, plenty of games on it and plenty coming. If they do announce a new machine it will still be a year and a half before it is out and has decent support on it, and even then DS support will continue for a while.

I don't think they gonna make a new handle system. DS still printing money fo Nintendo, so there's no need for them to make a new one.

There isn't a new DS coming out next year, not even a hint of a rumor. If there were, then no it isn't too late to buy one, there's really no such thing as a 'too late' to buy any console, it all depends on what you want to play.

Better now then never. You don't have to buy every great game at once. Just get it now with a few of the games you want then when you get bored, buy the others. Rinse and Repeat.

Don't you think it's a little too late for you to buy a ps1 right now?

It is not too late for a DS Lite! You need to pick one up because WiFi is all the Rage. You don't want to miss out on great games either like Phantom Hourglass and MapleStory DS (WiFi better be something cool or this game will suck)

Nope, the DS still has lots of games coming out for it and Nintendo isn't even hinting at a new system. The DS isn't going anywhere for at least a few years. So yeah, buy one. :D

Get a DS.... now!

It is not too late at all. It is really just hitting its stride. Look at some numbers, it sold 10 million units worldwide in 2006. It sold anither 5 million worldwide this year through the month of March. It has a long way to go.

Wait? When did they say they were going to make a MapleStory DS.

I highly doubt a cheap website trying make an MMO would try to make a DS game.
