I traded my DS Lite at Gamestop for store credit and put it towards the DSi.  bassir;
Gamestop has a promotion that if you pre-order a DSi, you get 1000 DSi Points.  giggle;

Well, with the DS Lite credit, it covered $70. So with Rhythm Heaven and the rest of it, it should be around $115 or so because I bought the Gamestop insurance.

This.
The only improvements are the D-Pad and the non-glossy feel to it.
Other than that, you're paying for a shitty camera and a shitty app store.

Correction, whoever buys the DS Lite is just retarted. Of course they no longer manufacture the DS Phat, but I've tried a DS Lite before and it's the same thing only smaller. Also, the DS Lite is too small for my hands anyway.

No there's an excuse to buy the DS lite (Mine for example is that my old DS was shit and broke)
There's no excuse to pay for the DSi though. IT DOESNT EVEN PLAY GAMEBOY ADVANCED GAMES  akudood;

I'm going to buy it in a few months. Just because I had the org. Phat DS then sold it. Now I want to get a DSi so I can play all the RPGs that have come out that I've missed. Also I'm hoping for lots of Homebrew.

Only like two flashcarts can run on the DSi.
DSLite is the way to go.

the DSi does not have a fucking GBA port = Pokemon Platinum/D/P/ any GBA pokemon titles are useless seeing as I love my pokemon, that's just bullshit.

You're an idiot. The lighting improvement, less bulky size, and side compartment for the stylus were the main incentive for buying one and they were damn good reasons. Light was dim as hell and the DS phat really was fat. DSi is a nerfed DS Lite and that's just a waste of money seeing as there are no future DS titles being released that will be specifically made with DSi functions included so who should pay money for one?

If you want homebrew, why the hell don't you just get a flashcart and the lite with the EZ Flash 3 in 1? You can't use most flashcarts with the DSi, including CycloDS last time I checked, and there is no GBA slot so you will not be able to play GBA roms with the EZ Flash.

They are not going to discontinue the DS Lite because the DSi is being released, they know that the Guitar Hero games and shit use the GBA slot for peripherals, they would be throwing money away.

Crack open the battery, disconnect one of the pins, put it back together, turn on your PSP, and then you have to have some certain files on your memory stick, some mumbo-jumbo happens, and then you have custom firmware.  hocuspocus;
With it you can run emulators and PSP games right off the memory card.
