Well i have decided i want to buy a new nintendo ds.

 

The man point of buying this i guess in my eyes would to play pokemon and other cool games on it.

 

The problem is there so many out there theres nintendo ds nintendo ds lite nintendo ds xl

 

Etc etc

 

I wanna know if theres much difference between them.i know one of them has a camera thats about it.

 

I wanna buy one off craglist for like less then $100 or should i just buy the most newest one worth $200 dollers all advice welcome.

 

 

 

I know its black friday but im not gonna buy it today sometime next week hopefully

Wait until the 3DS comes out in Spring. You'll be able to play all of the regular DS games and the new ones that will be for the 3DS.

 

It makes me chuckle seeing all the parents scramble for DSi XLs, completely unaware that a much superior version is coming out in like, 4 months.

DSi (2nd most) = DSlite (least expensive of the 3) but with a camera

 

DSXL = bigger than the original ds screen, most expensive

DSLite is arguably the best out of all the DS's imo. Longest battery life, looks the sleekest, has a GBA slot (which you'll need for Pokémon). Only thing DSi has over it is a useless camera, really. DSiXL is just big, effectively making it non-portable realistically. And the original DS is bulky, and has lower battery life.

Thanks Guy and girls

 

Tip it ftw

My opinion, don't buy a DS right now, the 3DS wil be out in a few months and it will be backwards compatible.

 

If you DO want to buy a DS even knowing the 3DS will be around soon, then buy the lite.

In my opinion.

If you want to play Pokemon badly then get a ds lite.

It's not worth getting a dsi xl, it's just a waste of cash imo.

It's just screwing around with it's region lock crap.

 

You could also always download pokemon rom and play it on your pc and then wait for 3ds to be released 2011 and get that.

Later pokemon gen are surely gonna have 3ds features.

Inb4 you can't ride on the S.S. Anne/other boats on your pirated copy.

I'd say get a DS Lite.

 

Sure, it's a fragile piece of [cabbage], but it's the best one.

 

Then, making sure you're keeping good care of it, trade it in for some cash to go for a 3DS near the release date.

Fragility isn't even a problem when you don't let it fall to the ground. <_<

 

But yea. Get a DS Lite, best DS ever. Make sure you play on the darkest light to maximize battery life.

Tbh, I like phat better then lite. But it's almost impossible to get one that's in good shape these days.
