Hey guys!

could anyone explain what is the difference between the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi?
(aside from not being able to play GBA games on DSi)

Thanks in advance!

There are a few noticeable differences, first the screen on the DS is 3 inches and the DSi is 3.25 inch, the weight difference is only a measly 4g with the DSi being lighter than the DS.

The big difference has to be the battery life, the DSi will probably only last around 10 hours of play time at a normal brightness while the DS can usually get up to 15 hours of play time on a single charge.

The DSi also has a SD memory card slot where as the DS didn't have one

So actually There are pros and cons on both of the models..
I guess choosing DSi over DS Lite is not so bad of a choice if I don't use GBA games anyway..

yea the dsi is just a slightly updated version of the ds lite. it also has a online store which u can acces from ur dsi and download games and apps much like wii ware.

DSi has higher Screen Res, and Sound. It also has the cameras, and DSiWare. No doubt that they will be bring VC to DS, since as you can notice on the Wii VC there isn't a Gameboy category.

dsi has an intergrated opera browser also that lets you browse the internet
you can download that in the nintendo store on there for free

personally i prefer my dsi to my old ds.

I tried using the browser and it works quite well but still has some compatibility issues with some websites..
