Thats pretty cool! i havent had a DS since my original giant one, haha, but always love it. I just didnt have time to use it. Depending on how much they are by the time they come to canada i will probably pick one up

Thanks for the info!

I have a Electric Blue and a cobalt black lite. I cant see spending extra the extra cash for another version unless they can come out with games to support the extra features.

Yeah I just heard about this. I don't know about everybody else but why am I going to shell out $200+ for handheld that I already have? Sure it has the two cameras and app store and other wireless goodies, but why not wait for the next handheld to come out? Now if the graphics resolution was getting a complete overhaul I might consider buying the DSI when it comes out. Hopefully the next gen of handhelds will come out sometime in the near future because I love all my handhelds, even way back to my old Gameboy(Gray one) that I still have. Just my opinion.

Well seeing how they're making an app store for this "DSi"... I'm guessing they're NOT making a new gen of handhelds any time soon... but seeing the descriptions.. it sounds a lot like an DS ver of an ipod touch... =____=;; and if it doesn't have a gameboy slot... you HAVE to get games online or something?
