So guys summer is almost here and I need something to keep me occupied.

I have a 360 and a PSP well I dont use my PSP anymore.

I really enjoyed my old GBA SP with games like Pokemon , Fire Emblem, etc.

I only have 120$ right now and I might get another 50$ next month so I don't know If I'll buy DS Lite or a game or 2 for the 360.

Please be honest if this system is really worth the $$$

Well your answers from a DS forum will be biased. :P With that being said, if you enjoyed your GBA and all the games that came with it then I think it is a safe bet that you will enjoy the DS. It has such a robust library of games that you are bound to find something that you will like.

I have an xbox 360,Wii, and a PSP. This system is definitely worth it I just got it two days ago and it is great! Though the main reason for me getting it is the amount of amazing rpgs so it was definitely worth it to me. It just matters what you look there are plenty of great games on the DS besides rpgs.

It depends on what you want. The original ds has its weaknesses in that it's bigger, the button placement isn't as good, the stylus is smaller, and its screen brightness is kinda weak etc. The ds lite has many improvements, like being lighter, brighter, and better button placement, but its dpad, from what i have heard, is worse than the phat, and its speakers aren't as good the dsi has improved speakers, bigger screens, a SDHC slot, but no gba slot unlike the phat and ds lite. It depends on what you want, but personally, i'd choose between the lite and the dsi.

I didn't include all the info about every version, but you should do the research yourself.

I would go with a DS Lite. The Gameboy port is very special to me. =P Even though there will be DSi exclusive games, the chances of there being a HUGE game only for DSi is a little small. The most popular DSi games will probably be easy to overlook.
