So the DSi includes a larger screen, upgradable firmware, SD card support (+AAC audio support), a camera, is 12% thinner... and no GBA backwards compatibility, the battery life has been decreased, oh and support for region locking.
It will retail for $375 NZD vs. $250 NZD for a DS Lite and $300 NZD for a PSP.
gg Nintendo, nextmap

I will get one if (and only if) anything good shows up on the downloadable game service.
Although if it finally supports modern wireless encryption, that might sway my opinion slightly.

It is coming to the states? I thought it was Japan exclusive.

The DSi, or the download service? If the former, GAME (UK) has just sent out pre-order emails about it, so no. If the latter, I don't know.

Hm, I thought it supported WPA2?

I saw the guy in GameStop putting together promo boxes for them not one hour ago.

I guess I was mistaken... Iirc it was released some time ago in JP, and was originally said to be for them only.

If I'm not mistaken, the DSi is coming out in the states sometime in late April/early May. No matter when it comes out, I'm not getting one. A slightly larger screen, a low res camera, and a download service I probably won't even use aren't enough to entice me to fork over that much money for something I basically already have.

We don't have one, but have been considering it. We WERE considering a Wii, but it is just too gay. The other 1/2 wants to play Animal Crossing, and I want to play shit like Hotel Dusk and stuff.
We will have to price the 2 versions and consider what we need vs. want.
