Forums → Games → Dsi

Pros and cons (in my opinion)
Pros:
It has more power (better processor and ram)
Bigger screens (17% i think, which is fine)
The camera (not for taking pictures, its too crappy for that, but for games that use this thing)
Dsi ware (lets see if this thing gets good games)
Cons:
The camera (It from the last millenium !!)
The battery lasts 2-3 hrs less (something like that)
Lack of GBA slot

I didnt put the SD slot/multimedia playing, because you could alreaddy do that wit flashcards.

I still have my original DS that came out in like 2004. (I got it in 2006). I don't think that either the DSi or the Lite are worth the upgrade though. Especially not the DSi, it seems to have been made to please little kids more than teens or adults. They even took away the GBA slot, which sucks. The only good thing is the design, it's slimmer but has bigger screens. That's about it though.

Original DS > Lite, Dsi

So recently I just read an article on why DSi is not worth the 170$, and I agree.

I'm not going to blow all my money just to get some bigger screens and more compact features.

And I have the DS Lite, it's pretty good, I got it because by then the DS Lite was the only one still sold in shops

I'd rather have the PSP...

Yes i would agree with having a psp instead
i have a psp and it probably is better

DS Lite > Other.

Not worth upgrading really. Lite is better than original though.

you can traded your ds lite for the dsi at eb games and gamespot or other places i thing

i say a 4 out of 5 its a good deal of fun

Already a thread like this on page 3 mayb 4 i made it , it has more info too.

o.O Dsi.. is better then The DS... o.O

I really think the DS is better than the DSi. The DS has better memory life and charging time. Also the DSi lacks the GBA slot. I won't be using the camera for anything. Also I don't really think much of the Wii styled menu, the DS was more organized.

The dsi may have cool features but its a little to much. Its suposed to be a hand-held system so why would they put other stuff on it?

it seeems awesome

DS systems are messed up! Go with the PSP!

The dsi may have cool features but its a little to much

i would buy it

i think it would be fun to have but i think ill stink to my ds lite
