What about those who have GBA games they still play, and want to play all their handheld games on 1 console?
Buy an iPlayer.
It can play GBA. NES, SNES, SEGA SHIT AND ALL YOUR GAMES FROM 100000 YEARS AGO
iPlayer is actually one particular thing that brought my respect for the DSi up a notch. Of course, you can still play GBA games on it using an old Phat or Lite, but it makes the loss of GBA slot less bitter. It still needs some major work though, many of the best games such as Golden Sun The Lost Age go to slow to be considered perfectly playable. But that was a preliminary first release beta and is bound to get many times better in a while.
Again though, I won't be buying a DSi likely at all. At least, not until after next year's E3 when I'm quite sure they don't plan to make a true DS2. I don't want to buy something that is going to be outmoded in less than a year. I would want a true DS2 though. I'm just a little ricked off about Nintendo releasing a new DS revision so early on, right after people spent money on a normal DSi. It's on par with Sony's marketing of all their PSP revisions. Of course, 4 inches DOES look really nice once you look to see.
For comparison reasons, here's a comparion of all versions of the DS together. Of course, not meant to convey actual picture quality, as the pixels were resized and added (real DSi increases the actual individual pixel sizes). But just to give you an idea of the size differences-
You can actually physically tweak your screen resolution to match your current DS and then compare the sizes. Once you get it to where you can put a ruler up to the monitor and measure it accurately (diagonally), this is actually an accurate comparison of the real differences in DS screen sizes. Not the image quality, but the physical size. Plus, I'm not even counting the dead space here, between the screens. The new 4 inch DSi will be even bigger than the Phat. Or at least, it should, if my math is right...
