mhood Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I just got an email that they will be having a DS Lite special. Get a DS Lite, one of four Littlest Pet Shop games, choose one of the four(hannah montana, build a bear, HSM, and Cooking Mama), a starter kit, and a Neoprene case all for $157.95 Which is cheaper then the Walmart BF ad. You would be getting the DS for $65
stacya Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but my oldest ds has just started talking about these, and he has a birthday in January, so maybe for that, but what is the difference between a DS Lite and a DSi? TIA!
racerfan Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but my oldest ds has just started talking about these, and he has a birthday in January, so maybe for that, but what is the difference between a DS Lite and a DSi? TIA!They are both dual screens. The DSi has 2 cameras and can also connect to the internet and the Nintendo channel to download games. DS Lite cannot. The DSi cannot play the gameboy advance games like the DS Lite. They both play the DS games. Other than that they are the same.
stacya Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks racerfan! Now I don't know which one I'd rather he have...hmmmm....
emilygracesmom Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 My DD will be 5 next month. I figure she'll be rough on it. So I didn't spring for the DSi, and bought the DS Lite instead. So I guess it just depends on how old he is and if he'll actually take care of it.
racerfan Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks racerfan! Now I don't know which one I'd rather he have...hmmmm....My DD is 11. She has had a DS Lite since they came out. She got the original white one. The only reason we will be getting her the DSi is there are 2 new games that just came out that are on her list that she would be able to take advantage of the benefits of the DSi. The 2 games are Style Labs Makeover (can take a picture of herself and put makeup on herself etc. She is not allowed to wear makeup so this is an alternative) Style Labs Jewelry Design (she can design jewelry and upload to a website where the jewelry can be made and purchased I am thinking future presents lol) I am sure there will be other games coming out in the future. With the DS Lite as a first system it opens up the option to be able to get the used gameboy advance games that can be used with the lite but not the DSi. DD will still have her DS lite so she will have both even though she is getting rid of most of her advance games because she has outgrown them.
racerfan Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 do they have boy titles?Yes there are several games that cater to boys. My DS13 (almost 14) has had a DS Lite for years, he had the original DS before that and the GameBoy Advance etc. I wont be getting the DSi for him since he prefers his PSP and his Xbox, and only plays his Lite rarely if he is bored.
Jen8112 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 They are both dual screens. The DSi has 2 cameras and can also connect to the internet and the Nintendo channel to download games. DS Lite cannot. The DSi cannot play the gameboy advance games like the DS Lite. They both play the DS games. Other than that they are the same.And the DSI can't plan Gameboy Advanced games or games like Guitar Hero, there is no secondary game slot. That was the one reason I'm getting DS9 a DS lite, he's had his regualr DS since he was 4 and has a lot of Advanced games.
Jen8112 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 do they have boy titles?Most games are for boys or for either, there actually aren't too many games that are specifically for girls.
