Your the one with bad grammar, and double/triple posting. Plus, this new "DS", might be released, it looks like a DS Lite, but a few differences. I'll have to look this up, to see if this is true. Also, the release days, are unknown as I'm in the UK, we won't get it until much later on. Japan, will get it on the 1st of November, and other places like America, Unknown, and UK unknown.

So, to be honest we'll have to wait and see if this new DS, will become popular, like the DS, and DS Lite, was. Oh, and Yuzi, if this gets too spammy due to someone who's spamming this thread, please lock it.

The PSP, is awesome. I still have mine, and my DS, and DS Lite. This new DS, I'm unsure of. It looks good, but depends on the games, that'll come out. I'll check on this new DS, in a months time to see how well it's doing, and what games are released.

I might get this, but depends what comes out on it. I only got like the DS, and DS Lite to get Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, and Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Guess we will have to wait until DSi, comes out in America, or UK, so I can check what games have been created and what'll soon to be released.

High price? Irritating.
Missing GBA slot? No thanks.
Still no WPA support? That's downright embarrassing.

Well what's the point of coming out with it when it has no GBA slot? That's just plain pointless.
That has already thrown me off the decision to buy it.

seeing as it can still play the games that have been made specially for it and the fact that you can still find an SP at Gamestop for about $30~, GBA support isn't exactly vital if it has such functions as, i don't know, two camera and SD card support.

Still not buying it because of the price tag and that Nintendo's gone downhill, but that's just me.

I don't know about you but I like backwards-compatibility in my handhelds. Means I only have to take one on the bus.

You ain't the only one who likes backwards-compatibility.

You are right. I would like to see what games it has though, but I'm not one for portable gaming devices anymore.

As for backwards comatibility for GBA games, someone will make an emulator for it like how they did with lameboy. (GB/GBC emulator for DS)

The DS isn't nearly powerful enough to emulate the GBA. It would be like emulating the Gamecube on the Wii.
