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?

Wow!! That is a great deal. Too bad I don't need one ... lol!

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

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

Tried putting it in my cart, but the price keeps changing from 119 to 149. Not getting it to work.

[kelly558]

its comming up 149 for me

[jbrawn26]

I think they changed it now, it was 119 earlier but back up to 149 now on all options

The internet is WAY too slow on the DSi. Feels like you're using dialup from 15 years ago.

Yup, both my almost 7 yo and my 5 yo have DSi...got them for the internet access that they will eventually want, but we have parental blocks on it for now...they LOVE being able to take their own pics with it...the regular DS didn't have the camera, so that is another thing that pushed us to get the DSi...

You will not be able to play webkinz on the dsi. You can use it to search for data.

[dgmommie]

Thanks for the opinions, everyone... exactly what I needed. :)

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.

[busybeex3]

It's showing $149 for me at 9:05 a.m. CST and the Mario bundle looks like it is $179.

[siillyy2000]

Any updates on the price ? I'm still showing 149 at 12:30 est

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! :)
