Should I get ds now or wait till dsi comes???

NEED HELP!!!! I need some advice bout the ds...should I wait till next year for dsi??Which ds is better?? Thx for the advice...

can't wait 2 play Dragon Quest....

If you don't have any sort of DS at the moment, then there's no reason you couldn't wait for the DSi to make your purchase.

If you have the DS or the DS Lite and enjoy playing video games then just keep it.

The DSi is the "Multimedia DS" that most handheld gamers don't really care about.

If you have an original DS but fancy an upgrade then probably waiting would be better. However, if you don't have any kind of DS then I'd personally just buy one now. In fact I'd probably buy one regardless. The DSi doesn't really look overly worth the wait if you are eager to get playing now. Yes, the DSi offers a few more tweaks to the DS Lite but ultimately it's just a fancier version (in my opinion), if you want your DS purely for gaming then just buy one now. If you'd prefer access to your music and other media on your DS, then wait. Simple really.

dood, i just got my DS like two months agos, and im still hyped for the dsi. Get the ds now, and if you want the dsi when it come out sell the ds you just bought and put the fundage towards the dsi. The DS is an awesome investment.

The Nintendo DSi isn't coming out until after April of '09 in North America, So I'd get a DS or DS lite in the mean time.Hanzo175

I don't remember Nintendo saying it would come to North America in April... Last I heard Phils-Aime said it would come "well into" 2009 for North America and be out in Spring for Europe.

I would probably hold off on buying a lite until we hear more about the online service the new DS will have and what kinds of games will make use of the larger screens and whatnot. It's really your choice though, If you really want one before next year then go for it.

The DSi won't come out for almost a year. So I'd just get a DS now.

Just get a used one for cheap. And play that until the DSi comes out.

ds lite now or wait for DSi?

i would definately buy the DS lite now and forget about the DSi, its best feature is being a little thinner than ds lite so skroo waiting a year for it.

There's really no reason to buy a DS so late into its life now. If you really want one, you might as well wait for the DSi, since Nintendo will inevitibley cease support for the Lite once it comes out, and it will have extra perks as well. Buy any olderDS games that look interesting to you now, though, that way you don't have to search endlessly for them a year from now.Ovirew

I agree. waiting like a year for the DSi to come out is way way farther into the DS's life than buying one now is. a DS phat, DS lite, and DSi are all DS's just different models. It's not like each one is another new Nintendo handheld, they are all DS's.
