I think the fact that the DSi can also work as a mp3 player is enough to make me buy it. When it comes out. In 2009. ffuucckk.
And I could really care less about the camera cababilities. If I wanted a camera, I'd buy one from cannon, not nintendo. And yeah, the lack of a gba slot kinda sucks, but so what?
If your gba collection is so big that you still need a peripheral to play them, then just keep your old DS or go and buy a cheaper Gameboy SP at your nearest EB.
Downloadable content on your handheld? Fuck yes. Will it be harder to steal games now by loading the roms onto a flash card. Maybe yes, maybe no. Nintendo has a creative and clever Hardware staff, and I'm sure that with the DSi, they may have applied a various solution to how youve been stealing games.
Personally though, the original DS lite still has a time to go. Maybe not in Japan, but in america, its fine that it is not coming out too soon. Also, can somone tell me what the point of a fucking connector capable is? I thought we were past that ever since handhelds became WIRELESS.
