    Not everyone did. I never got around to buying a DS.

    And even if I did, there's a chance I'd still keep my GBA just for Four Swords Adventures and my friend's copy of Crystal Chronicles. Now I'll still be keeping it and having an entirely unrelated DS.

    I traded in my DSLite to help pay for a PS3 back in June. I had full intent of eventually buying one again.

    Looks like I'll get this thing when it comes out.

    Who was it on Seinfeld who thought it'd be a great idea to name their kid Soda

    Was it George?

    It seems like something George would say

    the name he wants for his kid is seven

    he recommends soda to some of susan's friends and they hate it, but they love seven and steal it and hijinks ensue

    It was Seven. Then it got stolen. I think by his fiancee's sister or cousin. I think he was trying to convince her to use "Soda" instead.

    Edit for slowness: Wow... it took me 7 minutes to post that? Because I didn't see your post when I hit the quote button.

    Replace "everyone" with "Javen" and replace "DS" with "Bugger."

    But yeah, I'm ok with my Lite, so I may wait a bit to see if DSi grows on me. I haven't played a GBA game on it in so long that I probably won't miss that port.

    You lose the GBA port but you gain the ability to download lots of games, maybe even GBA games eventually?

    Here's a video from the conference of a bunch of short clips on the Wii & DS games coming out.

    I hadn't heard about a new 2.5D Klonoa game for Wii, that's aces.

    I actually still have both mine and my brothers SP's

    just saying it's clever on their part not to totally render the previous models obsolete so people will just buy the DSi straight away rather than say, when people would trade their DS when they came out with the Lite

    It is clever but then a lot of people have said that they would buy a DS without a GBA slot if it made the machine a little slimmer. It makes sense.

    I don't think I could use a DS if they made it any smaller.

    This may be due to me having huge hamhands though.

    I'm kinda iffy. Superstar Saga is one of my favorite games of all time, but I couldn't even finish Partners in Time because it was so boring.

    Also I am pretty :| on this whole DSi thing.

    I guess I'm just feeling a bit burned because my wii and ds both spent a great deal of time collecting dust until that shit-ton of games came out last week, and I really don't want to fork out the cash for another nintendo console right now.

    I can guarantee my iPhone has better browsing and music capabilities than this thing would so I'm pretty content with my DS Lite

    It's the same thing as the upgrade to Lite, really. That got rid of old GB functionality, a lot of people complained and promptly got over it. And I'm pretty sure the GB library was even bigger than the GBA's.

    So this is pretty much exactly the same thing.
