I got a dsi and the buttons are better than the dslites ds lite buttons are strange :||

I dunno.

Nope, I dont think it is. keep your GBA - that was meant for GBA games. The DS just had a GBA slot for those who still had GBA games - nintendo can't make every console backwards compatible.

Anyway, I think it's under-rated - I see so many people bashing it, when it's great! The camera, microphone and downloadable stuff are fun, and even if you don't use them all that much, they can come in handy when you don't have a camera, but want to take a picture of that funny moment. You can even upload pictures straight onto Facebook with the new-ish update, if I'm correct. (useful, my webcam sucks)

i think ds is much better than dsi
1) doesn't play GBA games
2) WHY THE **** DID THEY MAKE THE BUTTONS CLICK!!!

although i wish the ds would play GB colour games

DS Lite is honestly better. I bought one on ebay for 60 bucks in AWESOME condition, got an AceKard (similar to an R4) that cost 15 bucks, and now can surf the internet, play music, photos, videos/movies, and even use some emulators to play older games from older systems on my DS Lite. So in total I payed 75 bucks for a DS Lite with the same features of a DSi (except camera, but go ahead, pay 100 dollars more for that if you want) for more than half the price of a DSi.

DS Lite = win.

ds lite is awesome

I liked my DS Lite but I like my DSi better. The GBA games are pretty much gone now. I know people still play them. I've been known to play mine every once in awhile but they aren't making any new games for them anymore. So if you already have every game you wanted then there's no point in playing them. Personally I prefer my ds games. Soon the GBA games are going to be completely gone in most stores.
I love the DSi's cameras. They are alot of fun and take decent pictures. The DS lite and the DSi play pretty much the same games so you can't really compare their games. Most of the downloads for the DSi do suck but they are slowly getting better. Besides would you rather have a DS that's downloadable only like the PSP Go?? I think there'd be alot more complaints about that.

Really...who plays GBA games anymore???
I do have to admit it is pretty much a wii with a touchscreen but it is cool.
The menu system is much improved from the DS.
Maybe a little overpriced but hopefully there are going to be some DSi exclusive games coming soon.
I think it is a bit of a money making scam but it's not HUGELY over-rated

The only complaint I have is the downloadable content mostly sucks. There are a few good games you can download but most of it isn't worth the points.
