This new one has a 4 inch screen size. Thats all. The only new change to it. Kinda just seems like a stealth upgrade like the GBA SP+. Sooo hooray? Didn't making the screen size on the DSi bigger then the DS/DSL make games look stretched out and uglier? Now they're gonna go and make it even bigger? Better get your "good" DSi models while ya can!

Its not just the screens apparently the physical size is larger to. And the stylus looks like a pen!

Why did they make a fuss about making it smaller and then go ahead and make it bigger again?

Because people will buy it, and their mountains of money could stand to be higher.

It's a DS for old people.

Are you old? Go ahead and buy it.

Do you still see things relatively clearly up close? You don't need it.

I think it looks more stylish then the regular DSi~ nice color choices to. And the pen-stylus is cool. Plus its back to the classic DS-style speakers which might be good (better volume for hard of hearing)?


Anyways we're at the 4th version of the DS now and there were 4 GBAs so could this the last redesign before their next handheld hits?

Technically the GB survived from '89 with the original to pretty much 2003 with the GBA SP. Meanwhile, DS was released in 2004, it is still less than a decade old, so there will probably be a lot more DS variants that print more money for Nintendo.

So, my DS Lite packed up and I just bought one of these.

It's MASSIVE, seriously. I kinda have to zoom my head out to use it at the moment.

That's what she said!
