A few key things that make me want to buy it:

- Built-in web browser and functionality for downloading games and other Nintendo software directly to its internal storage, a la iPods and Zunes that connect to their music stores directly

- Addition of the necessary SD slot to allow for photo / music storage -- can we maybe get some Virtual Console service on our DS???

- 3 megapixel camera -- but this is up in the air. Is it really 3 megapixels? And can I capture movies with it?

A few key things that make me sad about it:

- Gone is the GBA slot. Ok, so maybe the lot of you don't even use it. I sure as hell do. Carrying one DS lite versus carrying my DSi and my GBmicro... the former is obviously less of a space hog.

- If the camera ISN'T 3 megapixel. Chris Kohler and the Game|Life blog over at Wired wrote down 300,000 pixels but mistakenly associated that with 3 megapixels. Which one is it? 300,000 or 3,000,000?

- Price increase. It's going for the equivalent of $180 over in Japan when it comes out this November. No, it's not a surprise, and it's not unjustified, but can't you just picture the happiness leaving your wallet for that brief instant when you fork over the dough? This is Japanese pricing, though. No word yet on US details.

This isn't a point-for-point matchup in determining whether or not I'd buy the unit, of course. Yeah, there are 3 on each side, but that's just coincidence. I'd have to first find clearer information on the camera resolution. Then I'd need to know US pricing details. Finally, I'd need to know further information: is the battery life increased? How do the bigger screens look, since bigger isn't always better (larger pixels = blockier image)? Does audio playback functionality features like slow-down and stuff mean that I can also record audio, too, and can I record movies in addition to taking pictures, making interviewing people for Trigames that much easier? Will there be VC support for the DS?

I'm not going to just automatically buy this thing because they shove it in front of my face, but I do think they've made worthwhile enhancements. I kind of feel like I want a PSP3000, too, though...

In any case, it's time to sleep. Catch the information on any one of the many live blogs going on (I've been looking at blogs.wired.com/games).
