Generally I like longer games but it also depends on the replay value.

I have the same Black DSlite (had it for a few years now) and I'm still perfectly fine with it. Yes the DSi has cool new features but it all depends on what a person likes more. As far as accessing online play,you have to do that through the game you're playing (if ithas online capabilities)and if you're around an accessible connection it should be fine. And asfor friends codes i haven't seen anything related to that particular feature, at leastfor the DSlite (for the DSi, I'm not sure).

I think EB games and Gamestop sell them used for 70 bucks... thats the cheapest I've seen it. Well... besides ebay of course.

That's what I was hoping because we had a few around my house that we weren't using. Butit turns outthat itcan only work with the wireless adapter withthe xbox360 name.As far as I know, therearen't any other ways for others to work... sorry.
