dgmommie Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Looking for opinions here... My daughter (8 years old) has the DS for a couple of years now. She really wants the DSi, and said she will ask Santa for it if we can't afford it. I've put her off (she wanted it for her birthday, and I told her it was too expensive, thus the reason for the Santa comment). So, my question is this - is this too much "machine" for an 8-year-old? Specifically, the internet capability, taking and sending pictures, ect. She likes that it can take pictures, and I think that's the reason she's wanting it more than any other reason. She plays games on my computer via the internet (WebKinz, Build-a-Bear, and the like). Can she do that with a DSi? Any opinions from anyone?

simplydivine Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Wow!! That is a great deal. Too bad I don't need one ... lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplydivine Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 My daughter (11) wanted it for the pics and the internet. She can still play all her old games, do the pics easily and the speed for games... she uses the laptop for that. Way too slow on the dsi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2monkiesx3 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 You can parental block most of the things on the DSI that is the only reason my kids are getting one they are not old enough for the unblocked versions of it..(BTW if you go this route set it up before giving it to her...it prompts you to do so as soon as you turn it on!) THEN she can grow into all it can do and you can slowly back off the parental controls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venusaur Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 The internet is WAY too slow on the DSi. Feels like you're using dialup from 15 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peppysfireball Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 You can preorder the holiday mario party bundle for 149. My son has been waiting for this and it comes with a 25 . gaming coupon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybeex3 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 It's showing $149 for me at 9:05 a.m. CST and the Mario bundle looks like it is $179. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siillyy2000 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Any updates on the price ? I'm still showing 149 at 12:30 est Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerFranny Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 It's showing $149 for me at 9:05 a.m. CST and the Mario bundle looks like it is $179. For the Mario Bundle search for 'Mario Bundle Orange' on Amazon and it should come up. The $179 one is not the correct bundle. Thank you to peppysfireball for the tip! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
