I preordered, will likely only have the money for one and I already made plans to get it on my way home Sat night/Sun morning, looking forward to playing the rest of Tierkreis on a slightly larger screen.

I am! :mrgreen: I'm way more excited about it than I should be though, it's not really going to be much different than fat/lite. Still it's going to be Day One and in this order: Replay Tierkreis from scratch >>> Replay all Ace Attorney games in order >>> Repeat

Today I bought a DSi and Suikoden Tierkreis (it's my first DS). Can't wait to play the game. :-)

It seems like cool technology, but the fact that it doesn't play GBA games detracts a bit for me. I'll probably just stick with my good ol' original DS.

Just got it, pulled it out, went through the start up, setup connection, downloaded browser... So this DS is finally able to play music files but it still doesn't do video?

Tierkreis plays a gem on it. For a start it's really freaking loud, like almost fat-ds loud. The D-Pad is much easier to use, a vast improvement. I swear the larger screen is noticible and the pixels seem smoother and clearer overall. Best of all, the matte finish is comfy and stops dirt/fingerprints showing.

Would agree it's inability to play video is a bit of a downer, that aside I'm really pleased with the DSi and it was definitely worth the purchase.

I'm thinking/planning to get one....(My DS Lite's L button is busted ._. )

But I don't really like the starting colors....Probably gonna wait till they have a promotional colored/additional colored DSi...or it comes in a nice irresistable [game+Dsi+etc] bundle pack thing.........but for now....I'll manage with my DS Lite (and borrow my mom's DS Lite for games that need the L button...hahah....she never uses hers except on long trips anyway)

How's the camera though? Can the pictures it take be easily uploaded into computers and/or the Wii?

Probably wont be getting one. My DS Lite is fine, and this upgrade seems trivial at best.

They are okay, the pictures it took looks just as good or better than those taken by my friend's G1 phone, but they aren't very clear and there's no zoom, there are 2 cameras but it's not like they can work together in someway. The system starts off with enough build in memory to last a while since there's no need to save game files on the system, and all the music files plays off of the SD card. There are no connections from the system directly to a pc, so I assume one can transfer the pictures to the SD card and then pull them out on a pc or wii, maybe, I haven't checked for sure.

I see...I figured would be by SD card...(does that mean it comes with an SD card by default?)
but no zoom huh....even my crummy camera cell had some sort of zoom on it....((I just don't have the blasted cable that you need to transfer camera cell pics to the comp ;-; ))
Oh well....kinda sound's like it's better img than the quality of my webcam though...which is good enough for me

wait...so "music plays off of SD card"...you mean you can transfer your own MP3 files onto to the SD card? =o
Ohhhh that sounds simple...

Nope, the system counts memory by "blocks" which I think the wii does too, and it has some existing memory like the wii, I downloaded the internet browser before I messed with the cameras, and I think after that it said I could still take over 60 photos on the system without additional memory card. As far as I've seen, everything default to save to the system memory like the wii, I'd think there should be options to make the SD card into the primary save location but I never tried to change that on either system yet, since memory have never been a problem for me on both systems.

In terms of the picture quality, it looks sharper with brighter colors than most cell phone cameras but it also seem to use very large pixels on the screen, I don't know if that's an issue with the DS screen or if it's the cameras.

No, it's not simple at all, the system only plays aac files and doesn't read any mp3 files, so I had to convert songs in itunes first before putting them on the sd card, even then some of the songs still isn't showing up to be played. The music player does let you mess with the songs just like the picture program lets you alter your photos, it was neat to turn up the pitch making U2 songs sound like they are sang by a girl (which is not bad) or crank it way up to have every song sang in chipmunk voice, and lowered way down to make it sound like the cookie monster is singing them, tracks can also be speeded up, slowed down, and add on different filters... though that was only fun for like a hour or two.

aac? bummer....way to pick a not-as-widely-used-as-mp3 format....er...yeaaahh.... xD;;;;
Well...at least it's not a "you can only play the songs that we the company provide" service that I've heard other things use before.

Seems like a big waste of money. If you don't already have a DS that's one thing, but I'm not gonna fork out $160 for one when I have a DS that does everything I need it to. It plays games. If I want pictures, I have a camera that's vastly superior to any sort of built in device.

I feel the same way. It's nice that the DS has all those functions, but at the same time I find them unnecessary for me. I don't even use my PSP for the other stuff.

So is a DSi worth it? Finally have the spare cash to buy something, and since Wii, PS3 and Xbox don't have any games I'm too interested in at least that would make me buy them.. I'm going for a DS and Tierkries.

With that said what's the difference between the new DSi and the old stuff?
