well tis not the problem people don't have money its the problem they have no credit card or their parents won't let them use theirs and some countrys don't sell visa gift cards i can't find them in the stores hereSpending now money for a ds flashcart us like paying for playing those few months. If theres a pile o' games u HAVE to play now- I think 8$ arent such big money, and u wont do anything big with them anyways... so I think u should buy a flashcart. Also afaik the ds has more battery life then 3ds for ds games, and it will always need a flashcart to load them, so for those of u who have ds(i)(lite) go and buy a flashcart!
