Where should I go from here?

Hey everyone,

My DS has recently stopped functioning 100% (L-button won't work; if someone knows of anything that'll help, please let me know) and now I'm unsure of whether I should go out and get a new one soon, or bite the bullet and wait for the new DSi, which has a release date yet to be disclosed in North America.

What do you guys suggest? I DO like to play GBA games, but I don't want to feel left out once the newest model comes out...:|

* On a side not, I don't know whether or not this kind of topic has been much discussed lately (I'm guessing it is though), but feel free to bash me from making this topic if you feel so inclined.

Thanks, Chunks

Unless you're into FPS's, there aren't many DS or GBA games that require you to use the L button. I think you should wait for the DSi to come out, but if you really like playing GBA games, then go out and get a Gameboy Micro. You can get them for as little as 20$!:DDash_Jr3

I know the ole' Chunkman already has a ps3 and a XBOX 360 and a Wii and a GB Micro,all he is missing now is a DSi,ouch sorry cousin,guess you're out of options. Except to play some old Gameboy games that don't involve the L button.

DSi.

If you still want to play GBA games, pick up a GBA or SP for like $10-40. Maybe even a GB Micro.

The OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED release date is April 5th.

In my opinion, the advancements outweigh the lost GBA slot.

Plus, there is a rumor there will be a virtual console for GBA games only.

Get the DSi.
