Why would he want an expensive dust magnet?
you can play gameboy/color/advance games on the psp, unlike nintendo's dsi system
What's the advantage of this one over the old one?

Now if only there was some psp games to play on it.
I'm still using a Phat DSSame here. I would spring for a Lite if they get shitbinned when this launches. I hardly touch my DS though, PSP gets all of my handheld attention
Can I use a flash cart on this?
Can I use a flash cart on this?
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure in most cases you have to buy a new one. Acekard had to make the Acekard 2i.
I've been looking to sell my Lite and a few random games I have that I don't play anymore, and I have a Micro, so I think I'm definitely getting this.

I need to buy a new flash cart anyway. My M3 Simply is old as hell and won't even get read by the DS half the time.
What's the compatibility like on this Acekard one? Everything works?
Iwata said they're going to keep the Lite going alongside this I think.They said the same thing about the Game Boy. Are you really going to fall for a reskined third pillar excuse?
They play the same games, it's not a separate pillar
DSL is still sold alongside DSi in Japan
They sold GBA alongside DS for like 2-3 years in the West, even released two different hardware revisions
Apparently there are going to be DSi specific games though. I'm pretty sure this is akin to GB->GBC.
I haven't heard anything about DSi retail games. I really doubt NIntendo is going digital distro exclusive with this turd, DS retail space isn't going anywhere.
What would a DSi retail game even entail? Maybe I'll miss out on 2 or 3 camera games, but there are no other hardware differences. I doubt a publisher is going to throw away an 80 million strong userbase for an extra 10 pixels of resolution.
Not interestd. Will only buy if the L button on my Lite goes distinguished mentally-challenged again. This is $69 too expensive. I think we're seeing the effects of the yen with this price point.
Thats right! We have the details on the DSi's Australian launch and just like with the DS Lite, we even get it before America. The Nintendo DSi is coming to Australia on April 2nd and we’ll be getting both the Black and White units. Unfortunately the Blue DSi will remain a US exclusive for now. The added features such as the cameras, new larger LCD screens, music player and DSi Ware will come at a cost with the DSi planned to be $299AU and $375NZ- that’s a $100 premium over the DS Lite price. Nintendo’s press release confirms for us that DSi Ware will be available from launch day.
The only thing that could've made me buy this was DSiWare utilizing the upgraded specs and features of the system. But they're still going with extremely small storage space and no running games off the sd card. Jesus, whats the point? To play around with pics and distort songs? Does it even support mp3? Probably not.aac only
I hardly ever play my DS phat, I probably won't be getting the DSi. I should look into getting a PSP, is doing emulation and stuff difficult with it?

Nintendo raping its fans again?It's not rape when it's voluntary. ;)

It has dual touch screens too, but it won't get used outside of dsiware which gives you a whopping 256mb to work with. UGH

No it doesn't. It's just a DS Lite with a slightly-larger screen, louder speakers, SD storage, two dumb cameras, no glossy back, and uh...no R4 support, so it's worse lolz lolz.
It seems like the real reason this and the equally-as-useless PSP 3000 "upgrades" only came out to try and curb piracy.
DSi is basically their firmware upgrade, but that fell out the window. Once DSiWare gets hacked I'll buy one

:rofl AUS$100 more for a camera and slightly bigger screen. Xbox 360 is now cheaper than a DSi

Well, apparently Gamestop is doing a deal up until the release where you can trade in your Lite for 25 bucks more than usual, so you can probably get around 75 to 80 bucks for trade in credit. Cuts down the price by nearly half.
I'm getting it because of that deal.
I wouldn't bother getting one unless you really care about the downloadable games.
It's hard to believe that Nintendo is also going to be making DSi-only software. Good job splitting up your userbase!
I'm most likely getting one this weekend. I'm trading in my Lite, various games, and my DS Phat as well, and then buying an Acekard 2i.
Which reminds me: I have and Acekard 2, what's the market for being able to sell one of those, used? I don't even really care about how much I get for it, ten bucks is even okay. It would just be pointless now.

Apparently the Acekard 2i doesn't work with the Euro DSis which means it probably won't work in the NA version. :-\

Officially getting one, the question is what to get it with... Dragon Quest V and The World Ends With You or DQV and TOKYO BEAT DOWN? I'm leaning towards Dragon Quest and Tokyo Beat Down.

TWEWY is awesome. Get that.
Isn't it kind of an RPG though? I kind of want a chill-out game outside of DQV... I guess I still have Ouendan 1+2, though.
gamecrazy is offering 60 dollars for my dsphat and 90 for my lite.
tempting...
Gamecrazy always has the best deals for everything compared to Gamestop, but unfortunately the ones near me are all in sketchy areas. :-\
nvm, went to gamestop and paid everything off in full. Gonna pick it up tomorrow night :rock

Does DSi mean there's no more DS Lite? Because I see no need for a price increase for the luxury of shitty cameras.
Um, I'm pretty sure the Lite is still being sold.

You made this post after I told you I was getting one!

I got Rhythm Heaven and it is pretty f'n awesome. Reminds me kinda of when Wario Ware used to be good.
We sold one of these where I work. Just one.
how much can you get a ds fat for nowadays
i want to play some of the strategy games
but i don't want to spend, you know, money
Used DSi's already?
They've been out a while in Japan now. And yeah, pretty much anything can be found used even on the day it comes out here.
This means if DSiware every actually becomes worthwhile
EB has continued their $70 DS Lite trade in until 4/30. Looks like that's when I'll get it. A little present for myself for finishing my MBA.
