Thinking about getting Nintendo DSi

And theres better buttons, a better stylus and more games. It has much better specs internally like a faster processer and more ram by a substantial amount.

This is true. It's a shame that there aren't any games that really take advantage of that though. Seems like a bit of a waste.
 
Is it to me :rolleyes:

Still can't decided either black or white :p

Also i'm getting Professor Layton, Mysteries Stories, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, and maybe GTA.

Is there 3.5mm headphone jack so i can attach my IE7 on the plane as well :D

Thanks

Yes, best yet in my opinion, if you don't mind playing a kids game :p
Platinum just came out which is your best bet. Has extra bits and bobs added and has all the pokemon in I think.

If I was you I'd avoid the DSi. My brother just picked one up and says it's rubbish. Not worth the extra 50 quid or so over the lite. Feels a bit like Nintendo wanted to get something out ASAP to stop people using the flash carts and just chucked a few gimmicks on there to make people buy it. Most unlike them.
Get a lite instead!
 
I probably won't use the camera, etc but lots of ppl say that the buttons feel much firmer than ds lite also comes with dsiware, bigger screens, and future proof for dsi games.

If i don't like it that much, probably will sell it when i come home :p

Can i play import games on DSi?

Normal DS games are still region-free but for DSi specific software, especially the DSiWare titles, they are not. Although it may also depend on the title in question.

Going abroad next month and will be on the plane for 14 hrs on my own + transits at the airport for a few hours and i'm sure i 'd be bored so i'm thinking about getting DSi to play on the plane. Is it worth it?

I will have Netbook with a few films, Sony 'X' for my music entertaiment , also magazines.

And there will be new movies on board as well with your own screen so you can watch whatever you want.

Thinking about getting Professor Layton game, Final Fantasy and not sure what else.

Many thanks :)

I made a thread asking for DS games a couple of weeks ago - some very good suggestions in there: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18013887
 
Deffinatally just get a dslite (best one i think...) and more importantly get pokemon for it!!!

I managed to sink 40 hours into it last time i restarted as i was having a pokerace with my flatmate (responsible uni students here....). Nothing beast naming all your pokemon after linux distros and your rival something highly innapropreate :D (plus find a friend with it, its really good fun racing or batteling)
 
Brilliant, going to order tonight with Professor Layton and Pokemon Platinum first :D

Thanks a lot peeps :)

Yeah i do. SO i can use this at the airport with free wi-fi as well then :D

Is it like WII that i need to get ppl id/no first?
