i im thinking of giting a nintendo dsi but i dont no if there good?
 
     
 
do you play ANY game boy advance games?

The DSi doesn't have a advance slot, so if you do, don't bother.

Personally i think they are not worth it for now, but thats just my opinion as someone who uses expansion cart's

1 Thing - Please Use English Language Properly ;D

2nd - Buy the DSI If You Dont Have ANY Camera. Lol. It Has No GBA Slot. So its Basically a Rip off. The DS Is Better IMO
 
     
I Cant Prove i Love You... I Have No Heart. But... I Can Pretend.
 
The DS is a good system, but the problem is some of the game designs really don't flow with the system...
     
thanks guys ag

Well, yeah, you get a camera, and a slimlined DS while losing the GBA slot. Honestly, the DS Lite is just as nice and you should be fine with that unless you have a strong need for a camera.

The camera doesn't even really have a point except for randomly doodling and messing up pictures since the picture quality is so poor. If you want something with a camera its better just to get a phone... Get a PSP biggrin
 
     

 
I don't think this gen is worth buying. Yeah the screen is a bit bigger but not by much and the browser is a bit laggy. I have a ds lite and Im good with it cause I play plenty of games on it. If you really want one hold off until the next one comes out.

Personally, I reccommend it.

I play mega hours of DS, so it's worth it for me (bigger screen, smaller, love where the power button is).

Also, the camera is decent, and it's my MP3 player when I want them without headphones, through my SD card. There's the random applications, the just-for-emergencies-or-mobile-versions-of-websites-browsers, and the ability to upload photos directly to facebook.

Gotta say, the rainbow pen in PictoChat was cool.

I think, if you're the type of person who doesn't have a DS, get the DSi. If you already have one, I'd get a DSi. I can't possibly see myself bothering with the DS or DSlite ever again, until I need the advance slot for my Pokemon.

Got a problem? I've got 20 hearts, Mastersword, enough items to lag Chuck Norries down and-you know what? A Feirce Deity mask too.

I like roleplays, just to read them. PM?

I heavily do not recommend the DSi for any reason.

The DS has more gaming value than the DSi.

Here's a huge flaw with the DSi:

"Also, the camera is decent, and it's my MP3 player when I want them without headphones, through my SD card. There's the random applications, the just-for-emergencies-or-mobile-versions-of-websites-browsers, and the ability to upload photos directly to facebook."

You could do all that... ON A COMPUTER! The quality isn't so bad, but if you could do this already with your own computer or have another mp3 player or even a cellphone with online capabilities, then it defeats the purpose of the DSI, except to exclusively play DS & DSi games.

I mean, sure, there are exclusive DSi games coming out, but it isn't that often. Also, if you manage to find... "Flashcarts", you can maximize the worth of your DS and save even more money, heh heh.

So... Whether you have a DS or not, if you really want a DS, get a DS, not a DSi.
