Nintendo - DS Console Review

I love my DS.  Not that I play it every single day but I have to say it might be part of the reason I love to travel.  I get to play my brains out on my DS at the airport, on the plane, extended car rides... Since the DS plays GBA games also, the selection of games is virtually endless - and CHEAP! You can get used GBA games for dirt cheap.  I was recently at a Gamestop and asked them about the DSi that was due later that week and it seemed pretty cool with the features (picture taking, web) until I asked if it still supported GBA games - No.  That was like a -100 for the DSi.

Anyways, I havea  PSP and the DS and the DS gets way more play.  I just like the DS games better. I even got the spanish coach game and it actually was pretty good/helpful!  I used it as sort of a refresher but the interactivity definitely helps. Plus, it's a lot easier than working out of a workbook (a la school classes).  And I like the chat function - so what if you virtually never get to use it.

I suppose if you're considering buying this, you should get the DS lite.  Because it's definitely much more lightweight (especialy if it's for a kid?).  But, I have NO regrets buying this version!
