The Tecker

The new DSi has already been on sale in Japan. However, it will be a while until it comes to the US (predicted in Q4). Is it worth the money? Is is just as good as the Lite or original? Well, the review of the DSi is right here in this article. This will be in an easy Pro-Con thing, with the final result at the bottom of the article (but please, don't go stratight down to the bottom!).

Pros (for you people who forgot, good sides):

- 12% thinner than DS Lite, the current DS on the market
- 2 digital cameras!! No more need for your current one! (unless you own one of those fancy-shmancy Nikons)
- The power switch has been replaced by a power button, like the 1st gen. DS (I could always see myself accidentally sliding it when trying to get stylus out...)
- SD card slot (put those photos you take on the digital camera onto the SD card)
- 5 brightness settings (4 on lite, on-off only on 1st gen.)
- Can play ACC audio files
- Upgradeable firmware (get ready hackers!)

Cons (for you people who forgot, bad sides):

- GBA slot taken away to make DS slimmer (Sorry Guitar Hero: On Tour people, can't use the new DS!)
- $192 price tag (comparable to ¥18,000 (yen)).
- Not coming for a while (Q4 in 2009. That's around Sept-Oct, right in time for the holidays)

GRAND TOTAL: Pros: 7 Cons: 3
MY REVIEW: Very good chance of getting this for myself! A good idea with the digital camera (but it's 0.3 megapixels).
