Who's getting a DSi?

I'm definitely getting a black DSi at launch. I'm ready to download original titles and be able to switch out games without turning the system off. Who's with me?

What's this about downloading games? You mean no more cartridges? That would be cool.

Nice forums by the way. I like how it's so colorful. Way better than IGN's bland grayness. And it's faster and less glitchy than Gamespot's forums. That'll teach them! A big corporation like that having a slow forum is kind of embarrassing. I think. Hopefully we'll get some more members really soon!

There will still be games you can buy for the system and it will play all your DS titles. But now just like the Wii's WiiWare system of original downloadable games, The DSi will have DSiWare where you can download new original games right onto the internal memory or SD Card in the DSi. As far as what you mentioned about the other forums, I'm not one to start fires with other websites and they are all here to help inform the gamers. I'm glad you like what we have here and we intend to improve as we move forward.

I have the Blue one preordered.

Sweet. I'll be expecting a picture sent to my cell phone of you holding up your new DSi with the caption 'Captain DSi'

Ill just be happy to have my own Ds again. Wife pretty much took over my lite.

While I would be happy to buy one of the new DSi's but as a college student I barely have the money for life and a few games here and there. Unless there is something that makes it an absolute must buy for me I'll wait till the next upgrade or for a considerable price drop. I'm looking forward to hearing your guys' impressions of the system.

How is it Streex? Mine wont be here till tomorrow.

I'm also kind of curious about some hands-on impressions. Man I wish I had $170 lying around.

By the time you read this I know Triz has his. It's a nice piece of hardware. I was playing with the photo features a lot at the DSi event, but when I opened up my own I was engrossed in the music features. Just say or record something and you can manipulate it. Slow it down, speed it up, raise and lower pitch, along with adding different effects. It's not a game but I'm having more fun with this software than a number of bad games I've played. Have you downloaded any games yet? I have yet to get online with it. Maybe tomorrow. The screens are bigger of course, but to be honest it's not a huge difference...not very noticeable, but a welcome improvement. Honestly, I still haven't even played any games on it. I've just hit these included programs so hard I almost forgot it plays games. I've heard of a flash attachment so you can take pictures in the dark with it. I'm going to do more research on it, but you know me. Attachment/peripheral + Streex awareness that it exists = must make purchase.

I got mine yesterday. Set it all up with the online network last night. Downlaoded the browser, and the Aquaria game. Havent played either of them, but from what I was reading online that was recommended as the best DSiWare game available. I like the slightly bigger screen, and maybe its me but the sound seems better out of the speakers. I did play some Rythym Heaven, and its fun. Like a music based Wario Ware. Not easy though. A little pissed at the blue color. When I preordered the pics all showed the blue to be a tad darker. So its lighter than I thought it would be but still not as feminin as I feared.

I'm still using the very first DS system released.  But I do plan to update to a DSi, soon.  I don't care about the camera or online applications, but I do like the idea of them finally having built in wifi.

This poll is not new but I have been thinking about getting a DSi in cyan blue. There are rumors about a new DS coming out with bigger screens so I might just wait for that one instead.

Well I was getting Nintendo DSi, but now I feel like getting Nintendo DSi XL for Christmas. So no not anymore.

By then you might be picking up the 3DS instead.

Woah woah woah woah woah! I never said anything about getting 3DS just yet. No I am still after all getting DSi XL because of the awesome big graphics. I don't get why some people hate this system.

I don't hate it. But if the 3DS is on store shelves around Christmas, you'll be standing there looking at a DSi XL sitting next to a 3DS. Are you still going to pick up the XL over the 3DS if that happens?

Well to tell ya the truth, yes. Besides my brother is getting 3DS while I get DSi XL so yeah that's one of the reason why I didn't want 3DS just yet.

I see. In that case it makes perfect sense. Glad to see between you and your brother you will be making a home for the XL and the 3DS.

Oh yeah it will be a terrific time for lots of collections of gaming systems awesomely.
