Wats The matter with that DSI?!

The DSI is great. I bought one for my daughter and she's loving it. I'm not one to argue but I will say this.Yes you may have a digital camera, ds,and and ipod..my daughter has all three of those. But this is like all in one...So I got her a DSI so she doesn't have to carry all these when she can just carry the DSI with her when going somewhere. To me it is worth the money.The only thing I wish it had is an option to Instant message on..

Quoting limited to 5 levels deepwith the camera, can you? The whole point of the DSi's camera is to play interactive games, not just to have a camera. And you can do a lot of cool things with DSi Camera. Same thing goes for DSi Sound. My DSi has officially replaced my iPod now. Long story short: the DSi is great. It's totally worth it. Don't listen to people who don't even own one!
My response at Nintendonic: It's not a next generation console... It's just a (big) step up from the DS Lite. With lots of new features, of course! And DSiWare!
big step up? Add a camera, bult in browser, and a wii-like menu. Big step up. AGAIN, I'm not gonna buy it

a) need the money for iTouch
b) might buy it if the price drops
c) no games out for it except dsiware
d) I'm not the kind of idiot who goes out and buyus every new nintendo/next gen console.
Yes, that is a very big step. Don't knock it until you've tried it. It's great. I'd rather have a DSi than an iPod Touch, but that's just me. And I didn't get it just because I'm a fanboy. <_<
but u are a fanboy. And again, no games out specifically for it besides dsiware that fails. I can't bring a DSi to school, now can I?
the DSiware doesn't fail, and the games are exclusive for the DSi, which is what you're complaining about

I don't see what the big deal is, except for the price

But if you trade in your DS, I don't think it's that big of a deal

Here's where I stand in the DSi situation.

I think it's an absolute waste of money if you already own a perfectly fine DS Lite. No, I am not jealous, because I know that someday I probably will get one because my DS Lite is showing signs deterioration. But by that time, a new handheld will probably come out, and yes, you people would go crazy about it. Anyway, I'm against the DSi because you people treat it like it's the most amazing thing ever. News flash, I think it's not. It plays the same games and 50% of you owners probably have the gadgets that make up the DSi. The "zOMG! I has a DSi!" and "I'm posting this on my DSi" threads are getting annoying because, I think that, no one really cares and that it makes people uncomfortable. Yes, no one is saying that you're poor or a noob, but the repetitive threads of people telling that they already own one is implying it. I also think that you guys are eating right out of Nintendo's hand, but I won't go into further detail about that, because I think that you already know why. If you don't, I have two sets of words for you: Virtual Console and Casual Gaming.
Alright, now that I have some time, I'll expand on one of the two things I said. The Virtual Console: I think it's complete garbage. Why? Because Nintendo is making you buy games you probably own. Again, more money for them.You might say "But they're probably going to release the old school games like Pokemon Red in it!" yes, it's highly likely that Nintendo will release them considering that they're milking out our money, but it isn't 100% certain. I also considered the other side of the field, which is where the new gamers come in. I think that with all the technology evolving, new gamers will probably be turned off by the graphics of Virtual Console games. Think about this. If you were to give a new gamer a choice between a Nintendo DS/i with Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and a Gameboy with Red/Yellow/Blue/Gold/Silver/Crystal, what do you think the gamer will choose?

Love the avatar by the way.

Thanks very much for seeing it my way.
 
*answers the topic question*

NOTHING.
(other than the GBA slot thing, but everyone has a lite already so shut up about that.)

what I'm pissed off about is that everyone seems to think its just a DS with a camera.
ITS NOT!!!! NOT ONE BIT!!!

its ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like the DS. (aside from, you know...the shape of the thing.)
ALL of the software is different, the games have better sound, graphics, memory, everything, it can play music, it has bigger screens, not to mention the 2 cameras, theres a DSiWARE!! YOU CAN DOWNLOAD OLD GAMEBOY GAMES FOR GODS SAKE. and firmware upgrades like the Wii!!

The DS is like the game cube where as the DSi is like the Wii.
they're NOTHING alike, the DSi is an Entirely new system completely on its own.
I mean, you don't hear people saying "Dur why should I get a wii just because it has motion controls Durr Im fine with my game cube." people like that get SHOT.

the only thing thats even remotely the same is pictochat, and even that got the new rainbow colors.
the only thing bad with the DSi is the lack of a GBA slot, but if you already have a DS lite, then what the heck are you complaining about?!

i know, it's so funny. I mean really, there aren't any games out for it anyways, so you're basically buying a system with games that take 5 minutes to download and beat.
 
I'm sure this has already been said but...most people already have all the extra features..
like a camera,computer for internet etc...
