ya just heard the news today on ign.
love the camera, audio, flash emmory, and sd card additions.
hate the bigger screen ( dont hate it, but whats the point?)

biggest of all, hate that they removed gba-support. :( thats a real downer.

but the pros outweigh the cons IMO. now they need to get to the info bout the next zelda... :shock:

Coming out in 2009 for USA, but I'm probably not gonna get it. Will there be games that will only work for DSi btw?

Its not Japanese AND English compatible. Its one or the other. >_> Which is why it sucks, imo.

Wait, what? How does that work? DS games are region free. O_o
Unless you mean it's the first DS to not have Japanese and English as language options on the one system.

That's correct Necro. We're going to have to wait for the ENG release of the DSi, because the Japanese one only has japenese language options :(
