I am getting it for the better screens first. The DSiWare is potentially good, but still an unknown quantity.
Nintendo DS
Platform »
The Nintendo DS is a handheld featuring two screens, one of which is a resistive touchscreen. Four different models are available: the original DS, the DS Lite, the DSi, the DSi XL.
Which new feature of the DSi is most likely to get you to buy it?
"I voted other, given that my only motivation for getting one would be to put ridiculous amounts of emulatable games on an SD card along with a new flashcart and achieve emulation nirvana (since I'm too lazy to mod my PSP)."32Gb worth!!!!!! All legal and legimate of course.
"Really, the music visualizer is friggin awesome. "It does sond pretty cool, but the novelty would wear off pretty quick I figure.
"I'm curious - why?None.
I'm not interested in the DSi at all.

I have no money to spend on it. The launch games don't appeal to me, and theres no real reason to replay the DS games I have. I haven't played my DS in ages tbh, I have the Phat. The features just aren't really interesting to me, I have a camera and photoshop, I have an iPod, and other various things.
I'd like a completely new handheld, but we probably won't see that for a while. I might get one eventually if any decent games come out for it.
"Money really is an issue. I will only get it because I can afford to. My life would truly not suffer if I didn't get it, as I am totally happy with what I have. The games will still be the same games, except of course the DSiware. I haven't got any Wiiware games and I am not overly bothered. In fact on 3 or 4 slightly interest me. Having DSiVC could make it more worthwhile though - old GBA games I never got.I have no money to spend on it.

The only thing that could convince me to buy a DSi is the whole downloadable game aspect. New and original DSiWare games could definitely be interesting, but if they do something along the lines of VC where I can take old GB/GBC/GBA/NES/SNES/etc games on the go with me...I'd probably grab a DSi right away. ...or I could just buy another PSP and hack that shit and run emulators on it :P
I just bought a new DS 3 months ago, and at the moment, the DSi has no features worth purchasing another one for.

None, really. My DSlite is both hard- and softmodded (Chrome case / flashcard), I am very satisfied with it and none of the changes seem all that relevant. Some of them are even available for current DS flashcard-owners (such as great emulation, changing the backlight in-game, music visualizers and other software).

It sounds like it would have been a good idea. Some technical things go over my head (not hard), so I don't bother.
