DSi Or Xbox360

[LivingToDie]

whats the dfference between an us dsi and a eu dsi ?
dollars are cheaper than euros so i can save money and buy them both

(i found a ''job'')

Could the US dsi play EU Games
and will it play EU Flashcards ?

Xbox 360 Hands down

It is basically the best console of this generation

Not basically, it is by a massive margin. I own all three, Wii as everyone knows is meh, and the PS3 feels like the best next gen machine youve ever owned right up until you start playing games on it. Honestly everything on it is soooo long, you stick a game in for the first time, 20 minute install, then it downloads the updates, another 20 minute wait, then the update installs 10 more minutes, I fell asleep waiting for metal gear to get going!

DSi sucks too!

edit: metal gear sucks too, it wishes it was gears!


(buy 360)

The differences will probably be language options. The EU version will probably have a bunch of languages in it that the US one won't. The DS games are region free but the DSiWare games are region locked. For flashcarts you'll need a DSi compatible flashcart like the AK2i, regular flashcarts won't work.

I'd say go for a 360 over a DSi as well, specially if you've already got a DS.

I should choose for Xbox 360, because it has better games than the DS/DSi.

If you already have a DS, buy the 360.

As the dsi has more''power'' then the normal ds will it be possible to create a gba emulator (for flashcards) on it ?

Not as far as I know.

For sure go for the 360, save up some more money and get a new ds lite, get the DS lite when the DSi is releases, the price of the DS lite will be very cheap after it does.

i just checked... for 150 euros i can get an ''arcade pack'' i get 5 stupid games and 512 MB ... thats NOTHING... to have a good start i need to buy the elite pak ... that has 120 GB and 1 game but the problem is thats 300 euros... so first the dsi ???
eventually i am going to buy them both so i guess i buy dsi first

How many xbox fanboys on a nintendo forum

I would go with the DSi due to flashcards basicly a free "24 hour" trial of any game. You can also take it anywhere and you don't play like $50< for a black one.

edit:
Also look at his sig:
"Favorite games : No more heroes - ssbb - ssbm - gow - ff7crisis core - dissidia - chrono trigger
Favorite genre : RPG - MMORPG - Adventure"

Well that is mostly Nintendo games and you Favorite genre pretty much sums up DS

or DS- I

i have read that when you have modded you xbox and ''if'' (I SAY IF!!!) you want to burn GAMES then those are like 16 GB
but 16 GB doesnt go on a normal dvd disc so that would mean you have to use dubbel layer dvds ? (FU*KING EXPENSIVE)
and also ''they'' say that the torrents only got 0 to 2 seeders (with 16GB that would take veeeeerrrryyyyy long)

(im not saying im modding it and that i will use backup games) so for the ones that are using the modded xbox to play illegal games they cant download--> burn so they are forced to BUY the games ??

???

As far as I know 360 games use standard dual layer discs.

I didn't bother to read the first 3 pages so, apologies if I missed the answer.

Do you travel a lot? If so, DSi.

If you have a lot of free time on your hand 'cause you're in high school or something, go for 360. Simple as that. I prefer a portable gaming device over consoles 'cause I go out a lot (bus to school, bus here and there, chill with friends, etc).

Edit: And you can just buy a touch screen replacement for your DS. That'll leave you with enough money to have both 360 and DS.

 

[Orangegamer]

but xbox games are pretty expensive and you cant mod it ...
also i ''have'' a ps3
i dont know if these are reasons to stop me from buying......

[thawkins1]

360 hands down rapes every console or handheld on the market now, so 360

I know right!! When I first bought my PS3 I had to wait a shit load of time to just play... On the first night I seriously only played 20 minutes before I was too tired to play anymore because of the LONG setup lol. But now my PS3 doesn't get touched.

 

[LivingToDie]

if i buy both i dont have enough money for the xbox games i think
and if i mod xbox360 i cant play online.........

 

[Jackreyes]

if i buy both i dont have enough money for the xbox games i think

The question is, do you want a cheaper portable console that you pretty much almost have... the DSi is only a tiny step up from the DSL which is only a tiny step up from a DS Phat.
Or, do you want a good home console that has brilliant graphics and brilliant games, sure it'll cost more upfront, and in the long run, but it IS worth it.

 

[fuuuuuu]

You can play online

however there is always a chance that you "could" be banned as noone at this point knows exactly how MS are banning people, There are quite good ways to avoid getting banned etc but of course its all just speculation, As someone who just bought a 360 after having a ps3 for almost 2 years now the 360 has had just about the same hands on time! (Well i play alot of chess on the ps3 but thats about it)

get a 360, buy a new touchscreen for your ds and then Save$. I would buy both but I got money

, get 2 360 one for backups one for originals.
