I am seriously half and half on the situation. There's a lot of new apps coming out for it, and I'm very interested in flipnote.
 
If I order from Amazon, I'll be able to buy a DSi and receive a game for free ( Looking at Rhythm Heaven ) and it will also save me $15 on sales tax. I'll also be able to jump in on the free 1000 Nintendo points.
 
BUT, I could also use the money to buy other games. I'm really looking at the Professor Layton series.
 
BUT BUT, Korg DS-10 Plus is coming out, and I'd really like to jam on that when it arrives.
 
I'm also looking at the blue DSi. Wish they had an orange or green one in NA.
 
Can you guys persuade me against or for a DSi?

Well, if you're not gonna play the DS Guitar Hero games or any GBA games, go ahead and get one.

Think about the future of your DS gaming, get a DSi., but I would get Layton myself.   
 
Flipnote and Korg Plus will great together. I'm looking forward to it too..
 
I'm done with persuading, there's now a load of threads with evidence of me trying :)

If you don't have a DS Lite, then sure, otherwise I don't see any reason to get a DSi.....unless you reaaaaally want those free Nintendo points.

 My DS sense is tingling  ^_^ What do you mean woke up.  It is 11.45PM man.  I haven't gone to bed yet.  I am finishing 2008 year on the DS thread and downloading a demo on Xbox Live.   I got my DSi a couple of weeks ago and love it, but it isn't essential.  Nothing on DSiWare is truly critical to me.  So, I am not going to say you have to have one.  The timing is about when you think it is right - price and DSiWare.  Still. I love the bigger screen. "

Hmmm hmmm... Maybe I should just wait a little and go ahead and buy Professor Layton and the Curious Village.

Which demo was that? Batman? Wet? Other?  I'd say as long as your current DS works you should buy more games.  "
