will you buy a nintendo dsi?

question 1: Will you still buy nintendo dsi?

question 2: If you will buy a ds for the first time, are you going to buy a ds lite or a dsi?

i have a triforce gold DS lite

and i will buy the DSi day one because a good 3MP camera, web, i will use my $30 16GB SDHC card and use it for music on the go, i will be playing mario and luigi 3 on it by then, i can sell my triforce DS for upwards of $300 online, used.

also, the DSi shop games seem like they will be cool, hopefully some will use the DSi's superior 133Mhz CPU, and 16MB RAM.

if i want to play GBA games i understand that the DSi still has the GBA's 33Mhz CPU inside of it, so one way or the other be it a VC type thing or not i will be able to play GBA probably, and also i'm more than ready to give up the ghost, and set aside my love for GBA games, its been 8 years, i shouldn't hold nintendo back. perhaps the regular DS could've had the 133Mhz CPU and 16MB ram had people not complained that the next handheld should play GBA games, coz adding stuff like that to a device this small only makes it harder to pack things into it. the GBA cpu takes up space and production costs that could be better used improving the actual hardware, etc.

people, stop holding Nintendo back, they gave you a good 5 years with the GBA, they don't owe it to you to keep allowing you to play the same GBA games over and over, they're trying to give you something new. if you play GBA games on DS most, then why did you even get a DS?

also, to the community of people who are seeking solutions for something the DSi changes, that ran rampid on the regular DS, you're stealing and you don't have a say in this. its like me stealing 100% cotton shirts from wal mart, then complaining after they start selling only non-100% cotton shirts because i don't want my stolen shirts to shrink.

well, you get the point. i support the gaming industry by BUYING video games

I do not have eiIther right now, but my mom has dropped a hint that I might be getting one for x-mas.

I do not want a DSi, would much prefer to play my GBA games than have a terrible camera (I do not know why people keep calling it good. It might be compaired to a PHONE CAMERA but that does not make it good), has poor music playing ability (honestly if I want to listen to music I would have bought a ipod long ago).

answer 1: I will buy it when it comes to America or price drops a little (for $250? I'll pass right now)

answer 2: If it was the first time I acquired a DS I'd prefer the newer one, even at a higher price :P

I will buy a DSi, i have a DS lite and i don't really play GBA games anyway... i think a lot of people will buy it depending on lifestyle more than anything else. I may not need a DSi but its got features i don't use on my phone, not to mention it is still slightly upgraded from the DSlite. The thing that appeals to me most though, is the matte finish... A lot of people will probably wonder why, but i just really hate smudges...

No.

    Cons:

     Larger screens, same resolution- Games look worse

     Maximum brightness reduces battery life to 3 hours

     Overall battery life has been shortened

     GBA support has been dropped along with support for all peripherals

     Camera resolution is too lo to even use with the Wii's Photo Channel

     Camera lens  is unprotected

     DSi is longer and wider than the Lite

     Music player only plays AAC format

     Web Browser has Flash, but cannot use it to view videos

     DSi still only supports WEP

     Graphical capabilities are the same, but look worse do to the larger screen showing of the pixelation

     DSi still lacks power

     The all matte design doesn't look very good

     The list goes on...

     Pros:

             The UI is better

             The Download store is a nice feature

             The visualizers of the AAC player are pretty good

             The matte design provides more grip

             It's just as fun as the normal DS'

             The audio and photo editing capabilities are nice 

The cons by far outweigh the pros so I believe it is not worth a purchase UNLESS you are not paying for it and you get to keep your DS Lite/fat. And finally the DSi won't be released for a long time... So there's nothing to worry about.

No, I just got a DS Lite not too long ago and I'm not willing to pay more for a .3 megapixel camera, bad web browsing, and an MP3. The only thing I'll be missing out on the DSi is the downloaded games. I'll just wait for a DS2. . .Cooleo1010

for the people that say the DSi has a .3 megapixel camera while thats true...the DSi also has a 3 megapixel camera ^_^...

the .3 megapixel camera is on the inside with the 3 megapixel camera on the outside :P...

o and im not getting the DSi until it goes down in price xP

What will be the price of the new DS and will gamestop do that trade in deal that they did with the light

Probably, my old ds lite's d-pad is starting to wear out. I heard in a dsi preview, that the buttons are clicky, like the old ds which is great, i hate the mushy feel of the ds lite's buttons.

 I dont care about the lack of gba slot, i have a gba, sp, gba micro, ds, and ds lite if i want to play gba games. I dont know why ppl are complaining about the lack of gba slot, the only game that uses is pokemon, but that is why i'm keeping my ds and my ds lite. People who care about guitar hero should just buy a console version, it's better in every way, and you dont have to look like your crazy in public. I have a feeling that gba games are going to be up for download on the nintendo store, a few months after the release. I'll just purchase the few gba games i would actaully want to play (pkmn r/s/e, pkmn fr/lg, gunstar heros, and fire emblem)

I couldn't care less about the camera. i'll use it once, then go back to my 10 mp camera.
