My daughter wants one of these for crimbo, and being old i have no idea what i'm looking for lol What do i get? ds/dsi/dslite? what's the newest model? can copied games be played in them? anything else i need to know? lol :thumb:

dsi , my lads got one and its a propper giggle lol

[mowgli]

all i know about them is that the open game boxes (2" square) really hurt when you step on them barefooted... i'll ask missus when she is up (nights atm), as she understands them...

[John]

I 'think' the dsi is still the one to go for, both of my girls have one as does the wife and they are worth every penny, especially if you like peace and quiet :thumb:.

As regards everything else i dont know or care, my objective was acheived as mentioned above lol lol lol lol lol

[saloonwoody]

dsi excell is the newest , its the same but bit bigger ;)

[Mazz]

R4 cards etc can be bought for playing games, they work on the orginal DS, not sure about the DSi - for so i have been told..

[Stuart]

DO NOT pay more than £20 for an R4/M3 card :)

note the card itself and the firmware isnt illegal before anyone tries to mount a tall horse

[Mazz]

for home-brew use only etc etc....

[gazz]

ernie, the sort of linked up games that couples do in ibiza should not include small electonic games consoles.......
