Ya I have a DS lite, but it's like one of the first while ones. My screens are all beat up and my hinge is cracked
 

I have all the DS's and yes you should buy this one too! Hope you enjoy it!

If you've never owned a DS before I'd say get it.

If you have a DS Lite there is no point in buying a DSi - because its just a small upgrade/downgrade the way you look at it (If you care about the GBA slot or not).

I don't have a DS yet but will eventually get one. I'm leaning more towards a DS lite because of the price but is there really any valid reasons for drop 170 for the DSi?

In the longer term, yes if you think you MAY be interested in DSiWare.  Without the DSi, you don't have a choice.  You have to trade that off against the lack of GBA port, which is only a problem if you seriously play those games still. "

Alright just bought the DSi. If I want to play GBA games then I'll use my old GBA. Also is there any suggestions for a DSi ware game I should get seeing on how I have the free 1000 points they give you? "

If you already have a DS, then no. 
 
If you don't, what the heck are you doing without the best game system this gen?

I have the original chunky DS, the unbreakable brick, i never had interest to get a smaller one and to me DSi is just the lite with an extra camera, i'd recomend sticking to the original DS or a DS lite, i don't think it's worth the extra 40-60 or whatever the extra price is

In my opinion unless you really want to, you probably shouldn't buy a DSi. Most of the add-ons like the camera, the image editing software and the SD card compatibility are all things you can find elsewhere and with better quality. The real major addition to the DSi for gamers seem to be DSiware, but as has been much the joke on the site, the lineup of "games" hasn't exactly been dazzling.

I think the DS Lite would be better or the original, the DSi is pretty much just another camera and i don't think it would be worth paying all the extra money for when the DS Lite is pretty much the same

People are open to their own opinion between the two, i'm just saying i don't feel it's necessary to pay out more for a console with a camera that, to some people who get it, will hardly be used

I've got $100 in company award money slotted to Amazon, if I wait a few more weeks, I'll probably get another $25 in which case my DS Lite would nearly be paid for in full (wait a month & it'll be free).
 
One reason I think I'd rather have the DS Lite is that I already own a Casio Exo Slim Digital Camera & a 120G iPod Classic. Never played GBA games before but it's nice to have access to a back catalog if I want it.   If I didn't have so much stuff already I'd probably take the DSi more seriously.

If you are going to invest, I highly recommend the DSi. If you don't buy it you're bound to miss out on some great, cheap games from DSiWare. I'm also holding out for the Game Boy catalog. The only reason you shouldn't get a DSi is if you want to play Game Boy Advance games, as the DS Lite is compatible with them. I have one and I'm still going to purchase the DSi.
