The Best Nintendo Console To Date
PostedJune 3, 2009
I bought the DSi on April 5th. And, I have to say, after about 2 months, I am still amazed by it. I'll start with the DSi camera, as that's one of the main attractions of the console. The camera's good, not spectaculer, but it's not awful. You'll have a lot of fun just messing around with it, and it takes cell-phone quality pictures. If you hold the camera still while taking a photo, it comes out nice. If you move, its blurry, as the camera snaps the photo, but if you move right after it, sometimes it screws up the photo. The main aspect of it is just to have fun, and if you go in expecting just that, you'll be satisfied. If your expecting the next Nikon, you'll be disapointed. Set your expectations accordingly. DSi Shop: This is my favorite feature, as new games are coming out every week. And not just short, flash-game quality, (well, just stay away from the 2$ games), these are good, fully developed games. You get a free ten dollars to the store when activated between now and October 5th. And most games don't take up much space in your DSi's memory storage. SD Card/ DSi Sound This is the most disapointing feature. If you have songs in your itunes library with DRM protection (most songs bought do.), than you CANNOT play these songs. So, if your library is full of music thats from CD's that you uploaded, your good. You can play these songs, but not the iTunes ones. The voice recordings boring, so you'll not use this much. Web Browser To use this, you must download it from the DSi shop, but its free, so your good to go there. Its very fast, and you can check your email also ( I recommend Yahoo! Mobile, as Yahoo! Classic is slow, and you can't use the regular Yahoo!. If you have Yahoo!, Gmail, Comcast, MSN, I am not sure, I don't use those.) You can evwen write customer reviews on Gamstop.com if you want with it. But since it doesn't support Adobe Flash Player, you cannot use Youtube. All DS games are compadible, so no worries there. But if you have a DS lite and DO NOT have an Internet connection, I wouldn't recommend this to you. But overall, Buy IT! It's very fun!

This DSi is amazing! I love the way the buttons and sholder buttons make the click sound, how the power button is now inside and is not a slider, how the feel of the DSi is [it does not collect finger prints], and how the pictochat has rambow colors in it. So I`ll start with explaning the camra, the camra is not the best quality but it is a lot of fun to play around with. My personal faveret lense is the grafitti lense because you can draw on it and you can put "stikers" on it.There is a lens were you are suppose to make an object change color but I tryed to change my skin color to purple on the DSi but it made part of my face purple and even some of the wall behind me wich was a musterd color and my skin is tan. There is another lens were you can put a frame around yourself or make a frame out of another picture. Like say for example you took a picture of yourself in front of your house, you can scratch out your face and take a picture of someone so it looks like that person is infront of your house. ln the sound recorder, that is fun too. I like the one that makes you sound like your in a tunnel. The pictochat is the same but the only change is that you can color in black and in color. Next i will tell you about the DSi shop, I like the shop I got I think 4 games from there. one that i got was the browser. it is slow but i do still like it. And I am making this revew thing on my DSi! Ya I know you are probibly thinkin wow that must of took a long time to type! well not relly, i typed this with my fingers like a cell phone. But the one with a full key bord. Got 2 go! PEACE!

I got the DSi 4/5/09 it was cool i still have i recommend this better then the DS now the ds kinda of sucks the ds is bad the dsi you can still pictochat with the ds. On the dsi you can do rainbow color for pictochat. you can take pictures and there really good graphics too. you can record your voice you have the internet you buy dsi games from the dsi shop and there cost points and when you get the dsi it comes with free points you can't play GBA games and the games in the shop are cool to get more points you have to use a credit-card or buy a card then type in a code then you buy games the web is cost NO POINTS AT ALL!

Hey, if your looking for a Camera, a music player, a record your voice system, and WiFi connectivity all in one then you have found one! The Nintendo DSi is the far best handheld game system so far in my opinion. The only thing you can do on a DS or DS lite is play games, and Picto Chat, but on the DSi you can do those things and much more! You can take a picture and decorate them in many different ways. You can make them look funny, cool, and more. There is also 2 cameras in the front and in the back. And you can record your voice in the DSi and edit them by making them sound like other things. If you get an SD card you can download music and play them on your DSi too. There is also a DSi Shop but you need Internet Connectivity to connect to it then you can download games. You can download the Internet in the DSi too! Still not impressed? The DSi also has stuff from the original DS like Picto Chat and DSDP (DS Download Play) and it plays games from the original DS so you don't have to buy new ones. There is many games to choose from. The only bad thing is that they removed the GBA slot out and you can't play Guitar Hero. I was kind of sad at first but when i started playing it i was like addicted to it. If you are struggling between buying the PSP or one of the DS's I recommend you buy the DS because of the things I told you and because the DS has a flip cover so that your screens are clean. The PSP doesn't have a flip cover so the screen might get dirty easily, but it's your choice. The DSi is awesome.
