Well as a fan of Nintendo, I have got sucked into the hype of the DSi. It looks cool, but I am not sure if it'll be worth the money. I have a DS and DS Lite already, but that can't compare to how much has improved on the DSi. I don't play DS that much (last time I played was like 2 months ago), but I am starting to get urges to play now. So would you say that the DSi is a must buy even with my circumstances?

Also, I need some more advice. Well I own a flash cartridge (R4DS to be exact) and I already know it won't work on the DSi, I was wondering if I should go back to obtaining an actual copy of a game instead of my old terms. Should I keep it and continue my old terms, sell it, or keep it as an option to try out games before I buy?

Advice is very appreciated! :D
 
Well I think I'm going to keep the R4, but I think I'll use it just as a try before I buy kinda plan. that way i can save money.
The DSi looks so tempting to buy with its awesome awesomeness plus the fact it is a major step forward in the DS systems. the battery life i can deal with too as i always use my DS Lite on the lowest setting anyway. I think I'll get it :D Maybe I can ask if my dad can get it if I get good grades at the end of this semester! ^_^ *shudders at the exams*

also whats R4DS
It is a type of flash cartridge for the Nintendo DS. It was also one of the best at its time. Flash cartridges are basically a normal DS cartridge but with a Micro SD card slot at the back (well most are at least). On the Micro SD card, you could upload real Nintendo DS games and homebrew DS games to it and be able to play them on the Nintendo DS. Some DS games actually can run faster using these cartridges, but others can have compatibility issues. Yes it CAN be illegal, but it depends on HOW you use it.
I'm not the best with definitions but that basically sums it up. But anyways, I think I'll stay a true fan of Nintendo and buy their DS games instead, but also using the TBYB method :D

Thank you for the update, but what's wrong with the TBYB method?

Who actually does that? Most of the time, you'll end up using it anyways.

Along with my TBYB method, I'll also use it from time to time if I need another cartridge for multi-pak play when my friend who has not bothered to get a DS comes over (but we barely play DS multiplayer anyway), and maybe play homebrew games from time to time (rarely play them to begin with XD), but other than those uses that's all I'll use it for from now on

What's wrong with it?! YOU'RE STEALING!! IT'S THEFT!! Here you are with your (illegal) R4, able to download an play any DS game you want, when the rest of the world has to pay $30 per game. You're ripping off Nintendo and everyone else. Just don't do it. It's WRONG.
