    Can't happen, wireless cannot get anywhere near the required data rate.

    DSi doesn't have g.
    I believe.

    But it is rumored that the DSiWare Store will have GBA games for you to download onto your memory card/internal storage.

    no it can't. GBA slot could easily be 80MBytes/sec transfer rate, 802.11g is 9mbit/s in NEAR PERFECT conditions, and if you're lucky. The 54mbit splashed all over the boxes is the raw data rate and bears absolutely no resemblance to actual achievable transfer rates

    I used to play PSP ISOs on my PSP via wireless network so I dont see why GBA wouldnt work.

    the data rate of optical drives is MASSIVELY lower than solid state. In good conditions optical media data could be transferred fast enough via wifi.

    Also has to deal with the system caching the information that it needs. Notice if you play a PSP game off a UMD that it isn't spinning all of the time.

    I'm passing on this device, Ds to Ds lite was a change that was welcomed but DSL to DSi is pointless. What kind of a game needs to have your face in it? That's kind of disturbing...

    I live in America and I can get my Japanese DSi Ware. It just connects to the server for its region, not your specific location.

    I'm pretty sure GBATemp will gut the DSi out sometime after the release.
    That's what they did with the DS, so eventually, it will be able to do more and not be so gay.
    Look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2sD5HAC1dc
    It can run your old DS games, and the new DS games too. Hooray!
    They've got more videos abut it too.
    __________________________________________________________________________
    I actually have a plan for getting the DSi, so yes, I will be getting it.
    Lol, at release, its gonna sell like the Wii, just because.
    Eventually because of the high speed of sales, everyone who wants one will have one.
    In order to make the people buy again, they will lower the price a bit (like people always do.).
    Then, I wait till black friday and hope not to get trampled at the store.
    Yay!

    Only good feature is the SD card, and it's not even that great.

    I changed my mind. I am buying a Black DSi on April 2nd. It isn't region locked for games, just the internet. Check Wikipedia. Looks alright now, that they've made it alot more clearer.

    I've got one. Nintendo gave it one free to all the people at unorthodox creations for development purposes. George is working on Propaganda DS which uses the DSi camera as a means to take real life pictures to advance the story. Its pretty intreasting what hes got done so far seeing as only 30 people are working on it. It's going to be the 2nd game released by UC the 1st being Denigrade battle then 2nd Propaganda DS and 3rd Heavens Wings: Diabouls.
