The price of the normal CycloDS is bad enough, so I can only imagine that the CycloDSi's price is going to be frightening.

Quality normaly comes with a price. /pay it once and you might not have to pay it again.
Buy a cheap product and you'll end up having to buy another one in a few months, IF it don't screw up your handheld.

I'd be patient and pay a little more if /i lived in the USA, but I totally prefer the phat or lite versions for now.

You can't imagine how ridiculous it sounds to complain about the price of a flashcart. Even if the cart was $100, you put 4 or 5 games on it that you didn't buy and you just essentially made your money back. When you consider the hundreds, neigh thousands of games now available to you for free because of the flashcart you bought, the whining about cost is even more ridiculous.

As for the CycloDSi.....who knows what is taking them so long. It's just like the vaporware GUI update they talked about.....where is that? To be honest, when it comes to the original CycloDS, it's only really missing one feature at this point; an ability to delete files off the card without having to plug the SD into a computer. I couldn't care less about a GUI update, just add a delete feature and I'd be happy. I don't even care about cut/copy/paste, just delete because I put the files in the proper location when I put them on the card in the first place, buyt it would be nice to have a delete feature when you discover that some game or app you put on your SD truns out to be crap. But once again, it's just whining when you get so much for free out of a flashcart to complain about some minor missing feature, or the price you had to pay for it.

It's pirates such as yourself that drive game developers into making half-assed sequels to their games.

Actually pay for the game, and support those that make it.

Possible response: But why would I bother paying such a huge amount of money for a good flash cart, if I'm still paying for my games?

* Pay for what you enjoy playing --- Support the game developers
* Extra games and apps --- Ability to play/use homebrew
* Extra features --- Ability to use cheats, RTS, and other features that can't necessarily be done with retail carts
* Convenience --- Ability to take your whole (legal) game collection with you on a single cart, instead of carrying all of them with you

There's something else, but it slipped my mind when I was writing the other points. Will edit this if I remember.

You may be thinking that if I have the money to spend on a flash cart and a whole heap of games, that's my choice. Yet the reality is I can afford very little. A game collection totalling 6 DS games and a few GBA games is sitting on my CycloDS cart, and that's more than enough. I'd rather pay for what I can afford, and miss out on the rest. People that pirate games just annoy me, because they have more of an effect on the market than they suspect.
