Been thinking of getting a DS for awhile now and now that news broke about the DSi I've been thinking of holding off until it's available in the states. What do you guys think?

Well I think you should get both because the DSi wont have a gba slot so you will not be able to play gba games or Guitar hero on tour.

Well Nintendo said that they won't release the DSi in the US until the DS light sales calmed down a bit. So I would get one now. But it's totally not worth it to own both.

I don't think the DSi is worth waiting for. Buy a Lite now.

I think you should wait, if you don't have the money to get both. Otherwise, you should get a used ds phat and wait for the dsi.

I don't think so,the DSi will be Multimedia,will have SD ports..I think both are good,but if you can wait a little,the DSi will be worth the wait. :)

i think it depends how you plan to use the device. if for mostly playing games a regular ds lite would be better since you can play game boy advance games. the new ds is mostly a multimedia type thing and really is .25 of a larger screen going to matter. no not really.

I just bought a DS today and i personally think that the DSi is kind of pointless. The camera is jsut like one on a phone which doesnt get used often at all. I have an Mp3 player for music and have bought a fair few GBA games as well to stop me from really wanting a DSi. i say go for the DS lite because what do you really want a DS for? to play games? or play Mp3's and take photo's on a bad quality camera?

Depends on if you want the features of the DSi, and is willing to pay more to get those or not. Personally, I'd get the Lite.

They say that the DS Lite price may drop to $90 and the DSi will be $150 in the US so maybe wait a bit and by a lite when the DSi comes out.I' buying a DSi cause i have a GBA and the 2 touchscreens and the fact new games may not come on the light make me want to get it. Plus there are downloadable games for the DSi.
