    I don’t actually know anything about the DSi! I’ve had almost every other type of DS, but never a DSi.

      According to Wikipedia it seems to be an upgraded version of the DS with a better CPU, speakers and larger screens, but lacking the GBA-cartridge port

      It’s basically somewhere exactly between the DS and the 3DS. It has games & apps you can get from the eshop (can’t remember if that’s what it was called), it has cameras, but the games will have about the same graphics fidelity as regular NDS games. It had few games exclusive to the DSi. Alternatively just think of it as an NDS with a home menu and eshop

        Interesting! As a first-day adopter of the first DS and a huuuuuge proponent of Wood r4, that’s fascinating to me! I feel like that’s similar to the PSP Go.

      I own a DSi XL myself, but I’ve never seen an original DS

        I never preorder anything but when the original DS came out, I walked down to the mall before it opened to pick up my preorder.

        Took it home and… found one dead pixel. Had my dad take me back to the store later and get a whole new one!
