WOAH! I'll probably wait for my ds to die out anyway, then I'll get the DSi. Maybe. Once I get my mac. ^_^

 

[Jeremy]

Well make the skin width bigger!!! :gyroidwink:

Oh man, they didn't announce it for North America or Europe at the State-side conference.

As of right now, the system is Japan only...

well, that, to me means, whenever it comes out, my DS will be broken. I give it about a year or so...

 

[Zephent]

Yeah im gonna say they're waiting for this year's Christmas rush to die down, then they're going to announce a release for the rest of us, I think Spring '09, personally.

yea, mine will probably be gone by then...

 

[SL92]

For Christ's sake, use spoiler tags for huge images.

Some really neat features in there, though I won't be getting it. Already bought one DS too many. Better than the old redesigns, (SP, Micro, Lite) but just as meh-inducing from me as the rest.

 

[Tyler]

Sorry guys. It was like 6:00 in the morning when I posted this. >.>;

 

[Bacon Boy]

it's like a portable wii with a camera!

 

[Trent the Paladin]

I hate Ninty. They need to stop making redesigns and make a completely new handheld or new game ideas it they're that bored.

 

[Kyle]

Thank goodness I didn't buy a Lite.
Now I have an excuse to replace the brick of a DS thats primitive with this.

Yes, but keep in mind that this has no confirmed release date for the states, Nov 1st in Japan, but as of right now its still Japan-Only.

Not true. It's confirmed for Europe in Spring 2009, and "late 2009" for US.

Oh? Looks like my information is a few hours old still then.

Cant believe Japans getting it that far ahead of everyone else...

 

[Kyle]

At first it just looks like a slightly remodeled DS but its more of a under hardware update than anything. The web browser and camera (I assume you can also use this same camera to upload pictures to computers also, besides Wii) are really convincing me to get it... and I also might get the chance to buy the godlike DS games everyone hails as excellent.

Note the reason why I am not getting them NOW is because the touch screen on my DS now is a bit choppy.

 

[Grawr]

Mehhhh...

I dunno' about this one. I'm already carrying my phone and ipod touch with me wherever I go. I don't think I can add a 3rd item. D;

But I'm interested to see more about this "camera" thing...I'll keep my ears open.
