It sounds very interesting, I'll admit. I like the fact of not having to worry about making a game work (I've had to many cases where they didn't work for my PC). The only thing I don't like is having to pay a monthly bill...by the time we pay all that we could have just brought the game from the store install it and that's it (especially if you only like select games like 2 or 3), plus if this thing doesn't take off what happens to the games we purchased and all our money we put into it. I don't know to be on the safe side...I probably won't by this.

I think Nintendo has a great idea here. Sure the gba slot is going to be gone but you have options here people!! 1) KEEP your old ds/ds lite system (for games like guitar hero) or 2) Your old GBA system It's NOT a big loss... I want this (I almost hate I know about it this early on) the new features of the DSi are to cool to ignore especially the DSi shop!! I can't wait!!
