I dont see anyone rushing out to buy this system. I got this game new in 2005, and this system changed gameplay forever. Since then we now have the DS lite, DSi, DSiXL, and in about 3 weeks we will have the 3DS, so i dont see the need to buy this game unless you want to finish the DS collection or cant afford the other DS'. I really dont recommend this game.

This system works better than my DS, when my DS lite broke i got the original, and I like it a TON better, the only downside is the stylus, it is placed in the back, and hard to reach, it also has a different stylus, its thinner, and less "long" otherwise this system in AMAZING. I personally prefer this DS over any of the others, because the DSI just has a camera, and i dont really care for 3D (personally i just like originals, and 3D ruins games, its also overpriced).

The Two Reasons Not to Upgrade
PostedJanuary 12, 2011
This is an excellent system. There are several top notch games out there for the DS. If you're in the market for one, you've probably noticed there are 4 different versions and may be asking, "Which version is for me?" I'm about to give two reasons why the original is the system for me. First, of course, is the price, even though I think it's a little high for the oldest version. This version has actually already been discontinued by Nintendo, so the only available version is 'used.' However, it is still the cheapest of the 4. Second, and most important in my mind, is backward compatibility. Only the first two versions (The DS and the DS Lite) include a GameBoy Advance slot. Even if you still have one of many versions of the Advance (I still have my Advance SP), you still may want this DS over newer versions. If you are an avid Pokemon player and want to trade your Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, LeafGreen, Colosseum, or XD: Gale of Darkness Pokemon to a newer DS Title, you'll need the Advance slot. This is the only way to trade between these games! There is no other way! There are probably other games that utilize this single system connectivity, I'm am just unaware of them. I will conclude in saying that if these features are unimportant to you, I would suggest either getting the DSi system for the DSiWare games, or better yet, wait until March and buy the new 3DS which includes not only a new line of games unplayable on any current version of the DS and amazing 3D graphics, but is also backward compatible with all DS and DSiWare titles.
