I have a Lite. At first the DSi was too expensive for me. Now I'm passing the DSi completely and waiting for the 3DS.

However, by the time I can afford a 3DS, the 3DS Lite or 3DSi will probably be announced.

I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing happens!

That's a sad fact of modern times (the 3DS Lite quick announcement). However, ultimately you've to decide when to get in the game, so to speak.

Exactly.

I thought you said you have a life.
I have an original Phat, but I need a new one soon, and the speakers are starting to give out.

I want a DSi XL. I love the big screens and my Phat is starting to show its age with the speakers and the touchscreen.

3DS looks interesting but I won'y buy it until Nintendo releases a 2D Mario and a Mario Kart

I already have a dsi, (got much more than half off for my ds lite) And I'll probably get the 3ds (I got the Dsi very early since my old ds was kinda broken but the shop I traded in to didn't notice)

I mean c'mon who can resist the ocarina of time remake.

I was never planning on getting the DSi and now I know for sure that I won't be getting it. 3DS 4 evr.

Given that the 3DS will most likely be out within the next 9 months or so, I'd skip it. Especially since the big draw of DSi is DSiWare, and they haven't confirmed that there will be any way to transfer your games. Just start saving 3DS money now and keep on lovin' your phat or lite. If your's broke or something, I'd just get an extra lite, because it's cheap now.

I have a DSi; I love DSiWare, but I'll have gotten almost 2 years out of it when the 3DS comes out (assuming it releases in March). I'm not buying any more DSiWare though, because of the transfer issue. I like DSiWare, but it's not worth it if I can't transfer it.

I am way too lazy to think of something clever.

DSi seemed a pointless upgrade to me. I'll just get the 3DS eventually.

Interesting topic ... one that I've been wondering about myself.
My thoughts are a bit like Token Girls. I love my DSi, and play more DSiWare games on it than anything else. Personally, I'd love a DSi XL, even more so than I'd want a 3DS. I'm going to wait and see exactly what the 3DS is like when it comes out before I make my decision. But I bet you're wishing wishing to get your hands on a new toy as soon as you can, and the 3DS sounds like it's a long way off. How far off are you at having enough to buy the DSi?

I find it a little more legit to buy a XL, when you trade it in, you get more, Even thoug you my not want to by DSiWare unless they change the ToU....Incredibally sad, that we can't keep our DSiware, that we buy.

I'm passing it up. No sense in getting it, now that the 3DS is coming. If I got a chance to get a really cheap one one day, then maybe, but it'd have to be extremly cheap (of course I'd probably have the 3DS before that happens).
I think the 3DS could be my next system fav.

I almost wish I never got a DSi. Now I'm stuck with a bunch of broken buttons. Nothing is fun anymore... I still use my sisters lite though!

I have a Lite and DSi, but since I just use my Lite for GBA games (rarely), I may consider selling that. I can use the funds towards a 3DS.

I passed on the DSi because I had bought a DS Lite 6 months before the DSi was released. Then a few months later they release a DSi with larger screens, then a few months later they announce the 3DS. I think I'll wait until they stop churning out new version of a portable system every time you turn around, then maybe I'll buy a 3DS.

I don't even have a DS, and I still have more than enough games to keep me busy, but I can't pass up Ocarina of Time 3D the 3DS when it comes out.

I had intended on getting a DSi XL when i picked up Dragon Quest IX, but now i'm figuring i'll pass on the DSi altogether (and defintiely getting a 3DS at launch) unless i magically find one for real cheap.

I passed on the DSi because there were hardly any new things. I'm still skeptic about the 3DS.

Despite the 3DS being awesome i still recommend getting a DSi for the awesome DSiware available as exclusive but for those who are short on cash well is best to wait for the 3DS. (i have every DS model excluding DSiXL but i'll be getting it with Dragon Quest IX).

The only model I jumped was the DSi XL (it wasn't really needed in my opinion, though I'll pick it up for collector's sake).

The 3DS has the total package in my opinion, and the DSi was a basic experiment or a mid-transitional experience (from DS Lite to 3DS) for others.
