There is a DS Browser available, but it comes separately. You have to buy it and it can't do a lot.

[SonicFan47]

Wow.
This new DSi thing looks really impressive!
Bigger Screens (not by much though; 1/4 inch)
Longer Stylus
SD cards for games
Internet Capable
and Can Play the Old DS games!

I don't like the fact that it can't play GBA games, but it's a minor issue.

BAD IDEA ALERT: I see a problem with the name...Let's look at it for a second

DSi
DS-i
SD-i
CD-i  (NOOOOOOO! IT'S LIKE DEJA'VU!

[Shadow84786]

Awesome they have a DS internet just like the Wii, I hope we can play demo games on the DS

[Epsilon08]

Correct me if im wrong, wont the DSi use the same thing like the Wii shop to buy games?

yea newer info says that the DSi will come with a DS store like the wii virtual consoul and from what i no it has some gba games but is reletivly slow to download

[darkness shadow]

i knew about this 4 ages, and it looks awesome, but those who has guitar hero world tour [or somethin] won't be able to use that little attachment, cause that goes in the gba slot

yea sucks for them to bad i hate guitR HERO

[darkness shadow]

yea sucks for them to bad i hate guitR HERO

i'm not a fan either, but there are other games that use a thing that can fit in the gba slot

[SonicFan47]

That's why I'm keeping my DS lite when this thing comes out (same reason I kept my GBA SP when I got my lite)

[Epsilon08]

I hope the DSi has Strong L & R triggers the Ds lite triggers are flimsy =P

[guy]

you can just keep the original da or a light for those games

[darkness shadow]

you can just keep the original da or a light for those games

i can't when my ds lite is busted

[ChaosDazer]

I wish they made it a new system, E.G- Better graphics, different game cartridges, but it does look pretty damn cool.

DSi FTW! =D

hell yeah, the dsi even has a camera XD

[ChaosDazer]

Yeah, this beats even the PSP!

[Epsilon08]

we can basicly say the Dsi is like a phone =P

[darkness shadow]

we can basicly say the Dsi is like a phone =P

but without the minutes and texts, yeah

ACTUALLY if you hack a DS you can use it for free calls all over the planet

[darkness shadow]

ACTUALLY if you hack a DS you can use it for free calls all over the planet

yeah, i know, but with put hacking the dsi is the next thing

[NeoMetalSonic]

I may buy the DSi. When I see reviews and comparisons to the DS lite. I will think about it. But I will of course buy it if my DS breaks. Plus the SD Card is what holds the game? Then you could play homebrew games!

the sd card is mainly to help you play music files on the DSi but you no it really just makes hacking easier

[Epsilon08]

I hate the fact that the songs have to be in ACC format to play.

[ShadowsOfSilver]

Haha! It's gonna be out soon! And I don't have to worry bout the GBA slot thing, because my sister has a DS Original. xP

I'm selling my Lite to get it!

[525055]

The DSi looks awesome with the double camera system. Hope it comes in the U.S at least by May 2009.

It does.
We get it on April 5th (if you pre-order, anyway)

[Shady]

I won't buy the DSi, there aren't enough new features to make it worth buying it. I don't like the absence of a GBA slot either.

umm you might have to since there gonna make dsi only games

[UberTails]

EPIC WANT. That thing is like a rectangular heaven!

[friesnchip]

Wait if they make DSI only games, then they can't make gameboy to ds transfer games, like they did with pokemon. That means I won't be able to transfer data if they EVER come out with golden sun 3. What a bummer.

Do you think they will have camara games on it somehow?

[Shadow84786]

When I went on my Wii, I went to Nintendo Channel and they had a trailer of DSI check it out

[Know Your ABCs]

It looks alright, but I don't think I'll get it, can't play Guitar Hero :O

[Shadow84786]

I'm planning on getting it.

well golden sun had a password transfer and they probablywill they always find ways to use useless software

[annoyinglad]

Sweet, thanks for the info. I've been planning on getting a new DS. I have an original from WAAAAAAAYYYY back, so it's beat up considerably. Sucks that the DSi will have so much lower battery life. But much more features for just a couple hours isn't that bad.

[revenger]

Yeah I can't wait for the DSi I'm gonna get it on the first day it comes out.

[chet]

as cool as this dsi is, i dont think ill get it

[Kristomaster]

Release 4. April in Europe! I just can't wait. The DSi even has a DSi shop channel (DSi Ware). And with built-in internet, I can get to the Sonicrom forums anytime fast and easy

[ultimate life form]

not great news for me. since this website does involve illegal activity( downloading roms) ill say it
you can not use flash carts. if you dont know what that is it is a devise for the DS so you can download games on to sd card and put on your flash cart. i hope that cyclo ds evolution get far with there research then i might consider buying a DSi

EDIT: hmmmm....... maybe i will consider buying it. keep a ds lite and a DSi

good idea but ill wait until christmas when the price will be reduced

[KevChaos86]

Here's a pair of Youtube DSi unboxing videos for any who are considering getting this thing... the guy in the vid isn't the most tech-savvy dude around, so bear with him.  Additionally, the videos are long & in-depth so be patient.

[SonicFan47]

I think I'll get a DSi! 

...aaand that'd be a topic bump.

[SonicFan47]

For Real? 

...yes.
The last post was in April.
However, this topic seems relevant to your interests, so it could be a seen as a legal topic bump.

[Hakudamashi]

I won't get a DSi
My DS(as in the bulky one.....the first one) is enough

[SonicFan47]

So was mine...until the top screen shattered its way into uselessness...
Then I got a Lite

[Hakudamashi]

The same thing happened to your cousin?

[dingadergen]

I really wish they'd make a sonic adventure port for the dsi
