They are both really good handhelds, but is the DSi so much better than the DS like everyone says?

I wouldn't use the camera. The DSi has internet and the DSi shop. I'm guessing the hinges on the DSi break easier because of the added wieght on the top. So a gaming system with DSi shop, that has a slightly bigger screen and stylus with internet, much more costly and less battery time, the newer ediion. I would rather have a DSi than a DS lite if they were free, but the cost is too much, and the new features really aren't worth it to me.

GB Micro


I didn't think it was a fail. Just a slightly smaller version of the GBA. If you didn't already have a GBA back when there wasn't DS, I would get that instead of GBA. The GB Micro isn't fail, but it isn't a nescasary addition to portable gaming.

A DS can do all the things a DSi can do, except for two things: DSi specific games and use cameras.


You left out internet.

A DS can do the same thing, go on the internet. Just buy the Opera Internet browser...

And I don't think you want to listen to music with the DSi... crappiest speakers ever. Though you could use headphones, but then again you can do that with anything... cellphone, iPod, mp3 player... lots of stuff.

Lets see.

DS starts off with 10 points. DSi too.

DS = GBA game port. 5+ points. DSi = no GBA game port. 5- points.
DS has 15 points while DSi has 5.

DS has no camera. Who cares? Why would you need it on your DS? DSi has a camera = 2+ points.
DS has 15 while DSi has 7.

DS has muuuuch longer battery. 3+ points. DSi has much shorter battery. 3- points.
DS has 18 while DSi has 4.

DSi is a little bit cooler. 2+ points.
DS has 18 while DSi has 6 points.

DSi breaks easier (it's thinner). 4- points.
DS has 18 while DSi has 2 points.

DSi is more expensive, 2- points.
DS has 18 points while the DSi doesn't have any!

The DS is soooo much better.

The ORIGINAL DS is the best. Not the DS lite. Long battery life+durability+better speakers=win.

DSi looks so much better than the DS, but you can't play games that need the GBA slot. Like GHOT which wasn't great, but still good.

DSI is so much better because it is lighter easy to pack and better graphics
