Hmm, the ndsi is a great console to have, unless you already have a ndsl. the dsi's camera isn't all that great, but it's a camera nevertheless. The functions in the camera ( Resemblance, merge ) are great fun. The acekard 2i also makes things alot better, and it works great.
So overall: BUY the NDSI, unless you already have a DSL, which i just the same. The DSI is good, but not that good that you also want both DSi and DSL at the same time. If you want the DSI, but don't have the money, you can always go to gamestop and trade in your old DSL and $70 for the DSi.
