And here are my impressions (note that I didn't buy one, just checked out a friend's DSi):

Likes: Screens are noticeably bigger, more so than I expected. It looks slightly slimmer than before, and also has less of an Apple rip-off look to it. I also love the new menu that shows up when you turn the system on. The camera is also a nice touch, though the quality could have been better.

Dislikes: I kind of liked the Apple look of the DS Lite... and I also didn't see any drastic difference in how slim it was, or how the difference between it and the DS Lite are more than cosmetic. Maybe if it were less expensive, it would be worth it.

Anyone actually have a DSi?

I'm not going to get one b/c it doesn't have a GBA slot.  In other news, I am thinking about getting a PSP Go! *gasp*

nice! You won't be disappointed.

I've decided against getting a DSi for now ... I have better things to spend my money on imo. I still really want one because of the DSi store and some of the games it is getting, but I'll have to hold off unless I somehow come into a lot of money.

I'd kind of like to get that Mario Vs. Donkey Kong expansion-ish game from the DSi Store.... but worth $170 in order to access the DSi Store? Eh.

That's one of the games I want as well, along with some of the art style games. But I agree with you on the price, $170 is too much for some small downloadable games. Until a big DS game with DSi exclusive content comes out I'll probably hold off (I'm more interested in a PSPGo personally).

The DSi store the just about the only thing I am interested right now. I am not ready to spend $170 just for that.
