I know some of us went over this a while ago, but... that was a while ago. Today, the DSi was announced to be released stateside on April 5th, about a month and a half away, for $170. As you all (hopefully) know, this thing has two cameras on it, as well as an SD card slot, for music playback and other things. It also has slightly bigger screens and better wireless capabilities (thank god!). Just think of the possibilities, and how much more horrifying it will be to stand in a line with a DS from now on!
Anyway, I know I'll have one, sense I'm still rolling with the first version. Who else?
Oh, and what color!

Sadly, my regular DS went kapootski. So The Boyfriend "bought"* one for me as an early Birthday present. And it's a nice shiny dark-green top and black bottom. I named it "Lyeadactyl"...kee-hee.
*"bought" = It was really me who bought it for myself, but claimed to be him since he is going to school and only working on the weekends still at the Noble.
*does happy dance*
NEW ALBUM OUT, NOW WITH 100% MORE SHEEP!, have a listen will ya
s7arbuck: Good to know the battery life is still descent, and I know the screens are bigger, but are there still brightness settings?
cuz my Black lite is starting to shit out (my triggers dont work and its never had the best WiFi)
i will defiantly go get one of these as soon as i get my Tax return
That's probably the one reason I wont get it.
Although the reason for that is due to the fact it has a much higher brightness setting. I think with both at the lowest they last about the same.
1) you admitted it was in standby a lot of the time and you didnt hardcore game on it (which to me means, multiplayer over wifi and screen brightness at like 70%)
2) the DSi wont last the majority of the day on a single charge. Ive been seeing figures like 5-7 hours of battery life, which is pathetic compared to the lite which I have gotten around 12-14 hours of heavy gaming on before.
(think cross country flights all in one day, bleh)
It would be shitty for a place like pax
The DSi does seem really gimmicky. Not a lot of improvement that's worth being excited about.

Not when im mobile at work or when im hanging out with friends. I have all my electronics purchased for max battery life (5.5h for my laptop, and I have many spare batts :P) since its often many hours that im somewhere without an outlet.
and Im refering more to an attendee perspective at PAX, not where I work it.
Again, everybody keep in mind that the DSi has better wireless functionality (hopefully), remember how bad the lag was at certain times before. :P
Anyway, as I don't have a DS Lite of my own, I've been using my brother's, I'm considering getting this.
But it doesn't matter as I don't know if I can make it to PAX this year.
Right now, I have Pokemon (Diamond, I think...), Mario 64 on DS, Animal Crossing, and Zelda.

You can buy spare third party batteries for $10, but the battery compartment is screwed in so switching them is kind of a pain.
I have Pokemon Pearl (might pick up Platinum when it launches next month), also have Mario 64 DS, Mario Kart, Puzzle Quest, and some others... I need to find out if Chinatown Wars is going to have any multiplayer.
It will, but I think that you can only share stats and trade drugs. In other words, nothing interesting. You should also pick up Worms DS (good fun) and the new Puzzle Quest.
It'll be interesting to see whether DSi Ware's performance will influence Nintendo's portable hardware structure.
