Nintendo DSi?
So i haven't had a gameboy since, well, game boy advance, first generation came out. And i thought, maybe this is a good one to pick up on?


Can anyone, who owns one, give me the pros and cons of it?
That'd be sweet. Thanks :D
#2
Pros- there's alot more games and double screen
Cons-gets boring to use
sry i don't want to make a whole list v-v
#3
Only Cons i can think of is that there is no GBA slot.
It has a lower battery life.
#4
its not really worth it not really good homebrew support
#5
I don't care about homebrew.

I just want pokemans and brainage and stuff.
#6
No GBA slot. Can take pictures. Can make music.

That's the only difference. >.<

IMO get the DSI and still use your GBA is you want to play Gba games, nintendo ds's are for ds games.
#8
Get a DS Lite and you can play Ds games and Gameboy games ^^
It has a GBA slot
#9
pro's that its got microphone and wider screens

cons that psp is still better lol

Pros - Bigger Screen,(ESPECIALLY THE XL) much slimmer, camera, distort/graffiti/other options for photos, music make or listen, DSiWare store, FIVE brightness settings, can remove/insert game cards without freezing the thing up(Unlike DS/L), you can move your 'slots' around, improved speakers, touch screen has better sensivity, and.. I think that's it..
Cons - Much wider than the DSL, no GBA slot(My Ruby Pokemans D: ), shorter battery life, can wipe data, thus wasting moneys from your DSiWare account(This kid that was staying did that to mine..), and erm.. Think that's it.

Either way, get this or a DSL. The world's moving onto the DSi veeerrrryyy sloooowly..

I'm not so sure about that. :p

The PSP's best games are better than the DS's best games, but the DS wins with it's sheer volume of quality games. I can't even remember the last time the PSP came out with a really solid title.

You better BUY DS LITE. =)
#13
why so meny peeps putting down the ds i love the ds it fun and alote of good games out 4 it

I'd go for a DSi not DS Lite. Some people are raving about the gameboy slot, however it doesn't play every gameboy game ever made. It picks and chooses what it actually wants to run in that slot.
I'd just get a DSi and keep a gameboy on hand. Most gameboys don't cost that much anymore.

Pros: its can pick up wireless signals and runs an internet browser, ^^
