Whispers of Deceit
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.
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.
