The new DS is finally here
The DSi I shall get in November from Play-Asia.

Also in the release date it says 'When it's done' and the DSi has been finished and we in Australia are getting it in the first half of 2009, before America.

When putting TBA as the release date it automatically does 'When it's done'. As we don't know the exact Australian date, it must be TBA.

=D
i prob get this and keep my dsl for the flash card.
i am ganna trade my old one in n get a ds-i but problem is that ive heard the r4 wont work for the ds-i
it would be sad if it would
id be happy n get it ordered in now if i did but no one can get it soon due to the situation @ wall street @ usa
HATE THIS
i really dont know if i should get it because it sounds kinda sucky with no gba or no guitar hero or maybe your not gonna be able to use an r4ds and the only new thing about it is that it has a camera. seriously what are we gonna use it for and we cant even download the pictures onto our computers.
looks horrible and a waste of cash, no gba/guitar hero slot. big woop if the screens bigger, i don't like it
THUMBS DOWN
this looks really kool
im rely looking forward to this

UPDATE = Don't really want one now.
Small modifications on the DSL, taking out the GBA slot and chucking in two cameras.

pffffffffffffffffffft....
Can't wait for this cool as
Looks really cool and complacated..
I'm probably gonna buy thisone and keep my dsl for guitarhero. I think it rock's, and i cant wait to try this out!
Anyone knows when it hits Norway?
looks kkol....
I WANT THIS SOOOOOO BAD!!!!
Can't wait..
I still don't know if i should get this. It cant play Guitar hero or GBA and it doesn't look like its worth it. But my DSL is old and it freezes a lot. I also really need a camera. WHAT DO I DO?!

Save your money now then when it comes out but a ds phat and a DSi that way you can have a DSi and still play GTOT I think i might buy the DSi and a phat it depends tho on if there will be a game with it....Hmmmmm maybe i'll try to pick one up on black friday next year because they had a special edition red mario ds lite with the new super mario bros for $136 and a ds alone is $130
im getting one as soon as it comes out,im gonna be savin up for ya
baby.
my card is my life.....

Update the release date to April 2nd
Sad... so ugly compared to the Lite.
The power button is in a bad spot, and the shoulder buttons are small and seem to jut out a bit. Yuckeh.
Plus the cameras are in quite terrible spots
Its in England in april so i dont know when its in Sweden or Norway.... But i want one.... But.. Ive got DSL and i've got a camera... Does it have pictochat? If it dont have, im not gonna buy!
hmmmmmmm

to get or not to get
Recently I went into EB Games to check out some DS games and when I was about to leave after spending 20 minutes in the shop, I looked up at the TV hanging from the roof and there was the advertisment for the new DSi. I stuck around for another 15 minutes talking to the EB games dude about it. I have to say, he was kinda shocked by how much I was interested in it ... probably just cos I'm a girl.

It looks so awesome I want it bad! But, its so expensive. A PSP is cheaper. Unless of course I wanted to bring in my old DS and $175 then I could have it. Normally it cost $299. CRAZY PRICE!!!

Oh, man! It is sooo much better than the DS and the DS lite!

ADMIN: Please do not Double Post. Instead, use the edit button.
I HAVE THE NEW DSI IT IS SO COOL YOU GOT TO GET IT BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE GBA SLOT OR GUITAR HERO SLOT NOT GOOD
Want it and love it!
idc bout the guitar hero thing that u cant play on it cos:
1. dont have guitar hero ds
2. rather play the wii or ps2 version
3. dont have any gba games anyway

Can't wait to get this on the weekend. Plus my Lite is breaking

the R4 will work, but only with games from the region you set it to. and there's not many australian region games
Looks like a failed rip off! They need to take a leaf outta the psp go!

Hahaha. PSP Go! Is the BIGGEST EPIC FAIL in the history of epic fails. It can't even play UMDS or normal PSP Games and you gotta download everything. DSi is much Much MUCH better than PSP Go!.. I loove my DSi

The PSP Go! is a piece of crap that begs for abomination.

Hehe, it is pretty awesome isn't it?

=D
The thing feels rough as hell but it's sooooo sexy~
@K-Man: That's it. You are so not coming anywhere near my DSi!

I've now discovered that Kenni is the official DSi seducer!.
Inform all DSi holders: Lock windows, doors, or better yet buy a safe! Keep your DSi's innocent "electronics" from this immoral madman ( ).

Thus,
I HAVE A METALLIC BLUE DSi! (He/She is so prettttyyyy )
Lol, just because I love my consoles a little bit too much.
Just got a light blue one for Christmas!
