  1. The DS Lite is the oldest of the versions selling right now. It does not have a camera, and has a slot to play old Game Boy Advanced games. The wi-fi it comes with is old technology/security and can be picky to connect. No internet. Rumors that this one is discontinuing, but should be supported for a while.

     

    The DSi is the current "base" system. 2 cameras, wi-fi and easy internet. Does not play GBA games. Very easy to use; shold be fine for a 5 yr old, esp. one with some tech experience (like phone games, lol). (The DS XL is this same system, just bigger. Also heavier... not really necessary for a little one.)

     

    The new DS-3d is coming out soon, but is not recommended for kids under, like, 6. Supposedly it can damage young, developing eyes.

     

    We have 2 Ds and 2 DSi at my house. IMHO, the DSi is the way to go. You might find a price drop around the time Ds 3d comes out.... just keep checking ;)

     

    My DS7 has had a DS since he was 4; he is very jealous of older sisters' DSi. As PP said, make sure the games you select are at the same language level as your child... if she can't read, she may have trouble with some games.

     

    Good luck! and HTH

     

    All 3 play DS games; there is a standard slot for all 3.

  2. I had trouble with lightning deals yesterday. Put 3 in my cart, then went to pay. Didn't want to use my gift card balance, but when I removed the gift card, it removed the promopricing! Had to call and by the time they figured it out, the deals were gone and I couldn't get them. SO: don't try to change payment options on a lightning deal :(
  3. Little Noah passed away the week before Thanksgiving. His family received well over a million cards and letters! They are donating any gits and toys to Make a Wish...
