So for Black Friday I was planning on getting a DS, but I don't know which one I should get.

A used DS Lite is $60, while the DSi is still like $150 or something like that.

I'm not sure if they cracked the DSi to be able to run firecards, but untill someone says you can, you'd be better off with a Lite if you at least plan to get a firecard.

Dsi isn't really worth the price in my opinion.

With the $90 saved, you could support your favorite companies and buy their games.

i kid get an r4.

Discarding moneys,
DS pros=ability to play GBA games... uh, that's about it
DSi pros=camera, bigger and better screens, longer battery life, cooler overall

But with the money you save on a DS, you can buy some games. Asdf :/

DSi has a SD-slot built in, but that problem is pretty much solved with a r4.

Actually the DSi has a shorter battery life of 9-14 hours on lowest brightness compared to DS lite of 15-19 hours =/

Some new cards can play GBA with slot one.

If you don't have a older DS, or Game Boy Advance then I recommend the DS Lite. If you do have something that can play GBA titles than get a DSi
