I don't know if I want to get it seeing as I already have a DS Lite...

Does DSi have anything besides the camera stuff and DSware?

Greatest portable ever created cannot have too many iterations.

Might have been answered already. The music player, what type of file support does it have. .mp3, .wma, or some proprietary crap?

It has a music player? The fuck

Did the DSi get a drastic change in sound quality? I'll probably get it if so

Memory for storage, bigger and brigther screens, aac playback, faster cpu, visuializers for music, sd card support. May be wrong on one of those.

twice is not nice

vertopci · (02-19-2009, 01:05 AM)

Ah I see. Has it been announced/confirmed/deconfirmed if there will be retail games made just for the DSi that wouldn't on DS due to faster CPU?

Haven't been following this at all, have you?

Sound has been sharply improved.

Nope I don't play my DS as much as I used to so I ignored most of the stuff when it was first announced. All I knew before this thread was that it had a faster CPU, browser and a camera thingy

Also sound being improved makes me very happy

Not a lot of people have been. It's annoying. USE. THE. SEARCH. FUNCTION.

It's impossible to search for DSi in the search function since words with 3 or less letters won't return any results.

If you don't want to answer a question, don't. No need to be rude to people who are asking about something in a thread devoted to it.

Fair enough, but it's still annoying. Anyone can search through this thread and find the answers they're looking for. The list of new feature has been posted multiple times in this thread.

but at the same time people asking questions again is bumping this thread, which is in a small but meaningful way contributing to DISRUPTION soooo

As a result, each household may only purchase three Nintendo DSi units.

Probably in place for the ebay scalpers.

WiiRevolution1 · (02-19-2009, 02:19 AM)

The DSi is pretty much everything I wanted in the next DS (Except Miis and its own message board...)

So happy I did'nt import. Its was a long wait but the English DSi is a month and ahalf away!

I pretty much am wanting all aspects of it. Especially DSiWare since I can now have more than 1 game at a time on the system.

hhmm..looking at the other thread it seems DSiWare is coming day 1 to AUS. Hopefully its the same for US.

Having a camera and a game system all in one is cool. I usually never carry my regaler camera anywhere unless I've planned to film videos for my youtube series.

System updates and the new Menu look FTW.

Captain N · (02-19-2009, 02:31 AM)

I'm hoping by tomorrow I can go and pre-order it at Gamestop.

Ironballs · (02-19-2009, 02:35 AM)

I ordered the black one on Amazon. Figure I can cancel if I really don't want it.

i don't think people realize how freaking important an online service for ds is.

disregard for a second all nintendo goodness like art syle's, etc, and focus on third parties: the ability to bypass the idiotic game-publishing food-chain will give small developers much more breathing room on the platform, which, let's be straight about it, is the master platform this generation, and as such is a bloody cut-throat place. devs like mekensleep won't have to do all that begging at some clueless publishers' doors just to be able to give us their gems. capiche?

Only three per! I was going to order 36, oh well.

I ordered the blue one. I'm debating whether or not if I should order a black one as well just in case the girlfriend wants one. She's content with her DS Lite but who knows what might pique her interest once the DS online store is up.

Pureauthor · (02-19-2009, 02:45 AM)

I guess I'm gonna wait for a sufficient number of DSi unique games that interest me before I bite.

Because until that happens, I'm not giving up the GBA slot. Nuh-uh.

Hcoregamer00 · (02-19-2009, 02:49 AM)

I am interested in this new DS model, but I am holding off until they release a white one to complement my original DS lite

With the DS situation third parties for the most part have been more reactive then proactive. If they seriously want to make big bucks on the new DSi platform, then they need to think about developing for the platform and build up their brand on the platform as soon as possible. If they don't then Nintendo will most likely take the lion's share once again.
