I pre-ordered it and I'm likely getting it after work today. I'm gonna keep it in the box for a week or so and monitor eBay prices to see if I should sell for a ridiculously high price or not. If the ebay prices are under $250, I'll probably open it up sometime over my spring/easter break (april 10-17).
Played it today. It is very sexy, and AK2i's are only $20, but there's the possibility that the AK2i might be made obsolete by firmware changes...I dunno. I'm going to have to think a purchase over some more.
I'm not gonna dick around with DSi pirating until someone comes out with a way to run homebrew right off of a sd card, mini sd card, or micro sd card that's directly inserted into the DSi.
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I just got off the phone with NOA, who wants $85 to fix my hinge-busted DS Lite, while new DS Lites go for $99 at Gamestop. So, I'm sure that I'm buying a new system, but I'm wondering if anyone has reason to seriously recommend a DSi over the DS Lite before I buy. Right now I'm getting the feeling the answer is no, I'd just like some input.

It's a toss up. Do you want access to DSiWare games, or do you want a GBA slot?

GBA slot. I thought of this in the car, and realized that I'd be remiss to give up GBA awesomeness.
Flipnote Studio is 100% awesome and free. I just hope some people make some real games for DSi Ware, because most of the stuff they've been putting out has been more like a large, overpriced mini-game than something that's actually worth some money.
If you're going to get a new one anyway, why not have a try putting a new case on? It is pretty complicated though. I'd recommend getting an official chassis, the third party ones tend to be a bit fragile.

1)Already bought a new one. 2)My address changes in a few days, so it'd be difficult to order parts now. Plus, I got $50 credit for the defective unit I traded in, so it was worth it anyway.

EDIT: Nevermind, I have it online now and it is awesome.
