Amazing product. Best handheld to date!!!
PostedApril 28, 2009
This is an absolutely amazing product. The camera has great quality for what it is, and it will provide nonstop laughs. Wario ware snapped is ridiculously fun, plus it has a free web browser. This review is actually coming from my DSi. Bottom line, this is an amazing little handheld and nintendo has yet to disappoint. The only downside is that there is no GBA slot, so if you play those games regularly, or play pokemon with the pal park option then you might not be willing to upgrade. But if not, i strongly recommend that you buy it. Plus i'll be looking forward to the DSi exclusive games. This product is just so good. I can't stop describing it, but if you want something that you will have nonstop fun with, then buy this product! You will not be disappointed!

Lovin' dsi
Unbelievable...

Well, I just upgraded to the dsi from the ds lite, and it's safe to say that it's the best system I've ever spent money on! First of all, the camaras' quality is surprisingly good. It's better than many cell phone camaras. You can alter the photos and they'll still look good! The screen size is larger, too, which all ds owners have been pleading for. .25 inches may not seem significant, but on games like Super Mario 64, you'll see the difference. By the way, the dsi screen resulution is the same, but it's not any more pixalated than before. Unfortunately, the dsi shop is not exactly bursting at the seams with incredible games. It's rather dissapointing. The only game I'll recommend is Birds and Beans. DO NOT GET ANY MASTER OF ILLUTION (or whatever) GAMES. They only repeat the same thing over and over. The downloadable browser is worth it. It can take 4 to 20 seconds to make a site appear. For the Gamestop site took 8 seconds to fully appear. Oprah and Nintendo have a way to go yet with the dsi browser. Still, its so much faster than expected. Oh, by the way, I'M USING MY DSI TO WRITE THIS REVIEW!!!!!!!!! My favorite feature is the sound stuff. The recording feature won't last but if you put misic on an SD card (in AAC) then you'll be glad you did! The quality is as good as an ipod. You can alter the music, but I don't use it much. The playback is the bright spark. Oh, and by the way, the battery life is shorteneed alot when you use the browser and extended when you play music. Thanks for reading my long review. I've done it so any reader will ignore the critics who love the gameboy advance too much to let go. I love the dsi and so will you. JUST GET IT! IT'S WORTH IT! I'll say the same thing I said every time I use the dsi; unbelievable...

The Nintendo DSi is like what it is described as. It is hard to access the internet, there is a long tutorial for the cameras. The cameras are better than most cellular cameras.Other than that it is easy to function.Get used to the power button on the left hand side of the bottom screen.If you turn it on it is different from the DS lite lite and classic, they have the health message and you go to the DSi menu and you can choose from many things to do. If the DSi is on and you want to go to the DSi menu click the power button lightly, to turn it off you press and hold the power button.The orange light means charging, the blue light means on, I don't know what green light is.On the go,need a camera, take a picture using either one of your two cameras, one facing at you and one facing away,use effects like:Normal camera, distortion, graffiti, color, colorpad, mirror, mischief, emoter, merge, resemblance and frame.USUALLY comes with two styluses and if you like the DS lite you'll like this, one problem is it doesn't have a GBA or GBC slot.Record up to 18 10 second recordings with DSi sound, you can also edit it.The DSi USUALLY comes from gamestop charged. The DSi has a DS game slot, an SD card slot and a slot for headphones.

better than what i expected
PostedApril 17, 2009
i had my doubts about the DSi. i thought the camera was an unneeded necessity. but once i started playing with it, i really started to have fun with it. there are so many different things you can do with the camera; i dont think i can even list them all on here. but the real reason i bought the DSiwas because of the wifi and being able to download games via the DSiWEAR shop. i think that was a very smart move for nintendo to put that kind of feature on the DSi. even though there really isnt much of a selection of games on there now, but in time there will be plenty of classics and new games to choose from. im looking forward to seeing what kind of games nintendo will be releasing for the DSi using the two cameras on the system. like always, nintendo continues to blow my mind with what they come up with. i think i made a very smart purchase. my advice to you would be, buy it!
