1. As stated, yes. 2. It has a game slot for retail DS games on cartridge, does not have a second slot for gameboy advance games. It also has an online DSiWare shop where you can download some games online, usually smaller games that aren't available in retail. 3. Any stylus or finger will work fine. 4. No SD memory card needed, but it does have a slot for one for storing more photos, music, etc if needed.

1- why wouldn't it? it's like the other DSs, but better. 2- if you mean download games, you can, but it also supports regular cartridges, which is the standard media for it. 3- yes, but the slot and shape are different, so i'm not sure if you can put a DSL stylus on the DSi stylus slot. 4- they save on the cartridges. and there's more than enough space to download tons of games and take tons of pictures.

1. Yes. It's a matter of opinion, but sure. I think it is.

2. Both. The selection isn't bad either.

3. Erm... I don't think so. I'll say NO.

4. Er, no. DSi doesn't do that. HOWEVER. You do save your online-bought games on the memory card. Don't buy any without it.

A DS stylus and a DSi stylus are the same.

Just wanted to point this out again. If you plan on buying/downloading any of the DSiWare games, you might want to buy a memory card. The DSi only has so much internal memory and if you download too many of the DSiWare games you will have to delete/re-download if you don't have a memory card.

how many games do you need to do that? seriously, i have quite a lot and, at least looking at how easily my wii runs out of memory, the DSi has A LOT of space.

I think around the 10-15 game mark I usually have to rotate games in and out. Just easier to save on a card than re-download. Obviously depends on the block sizes of the games/apps. (I'm up to 34 games/apps)

[QUOTE="KillerWabbit23"] 3. Erm... I don't think so. I'll say NO.

A DS lite stylus, while a little shorter than a DSi Stylus, will fit the slot perfectly fine
