    I'm thinking of trading in my DSL and paying the remainder

    to me, color is what important. Im waiting for the Red DSi so if the 4" has red and the current one is not yet in the US, I'll buy another one. but, i think, the 4" will drain the battery even more unless it has a 1000 mAh battery or more

    As long as the anti-hack tools in the 4" don't affect anything you may want to run on it...though something tells me they may not be entirely successful...

    Just get it,or you will be waiting for ever,why??? Well........ who know's mebay there will also be a 5 inch or 6 or 7 or 52.

    Point is, you always will be waiting for something new this way,because why get the dsi when you can get a dsi-2 if you wait.

    It's a gimmick so people buy it, when really it's just another attempt to stop piracy (it's probably going to have new measures to stop flashcarts and fix any exploits).

    Its really your choice. We can't decide for you. Just think about it they are both the same thing except one has a bigger screen and better battery life. I would choose the LL just because its bigger and better battery life. If I ever have to go somewere and I can't put my LL in my pocket I will just take my DS lite. At least its smaller than the PSP.

    actually stick with your lite for now wait for the nest one and since you have an r4 just upgrade your flashcart to a better one and save the money for the ds2

    Dude who knows when the DS2 will be released. Its going to be released like in 2011 I bet. I rather just buy the DSi and then next year get the DS2.

    Middle of the ocean.
    As far as I remember. Yes. I recall someone having his dsi not turning on as it only went to a white screen every time he turned it on. It was covered by Ninty's warrenty which I believe is a year. How likely is this close to 0%
    Of course my memory might be wrong.

    its a bloody tank!
    id consider it if it actually had some hi-res screens (but that would break compatibility).

    its a no go for me, i think its aimed at the partially sighted gamers out there.
