Not a big problem because DQMJ is an RPG, but still an annoyance. I can guarantee that would suck for when playing fighting games on the system(remembers never to try Jump Ultimate Stars on the DS Lite.)

    Oh, and here. http://www.digitpress.com/forum/show...=132106&page=2 Not an official DSi large model topic, but it's been posted about on the bottom of page one.
    omg please stop talking/ posting

    I didn't buy a DSi yet, so I am totally down for this. I will wait for reviews of course, but definitely "want!"

    As for the "will Nintendo kill more flash cards?!" - absolutely. They won't be able to kill all piracy, but as always the goal is to make it just expensive and annoying enough (by continually moving the bar upwards and obsoleting old products) that somebody who might have gone to piracy will decide against it, or quit after feeling that they are throwing money down a hole buying new flash cards every other generation (that can't be many people, mainly it seems this would hit people who sell such products).

    Also, the title of this thing makes me think of the Canon XSi and XTi DSLRs. Every time...
    That's pretty much the opposite of how it plays out. Most of the cards are cheap enough to replace that people keep upgrading/ They don't have to replace the actual flash RAM, so the cost to upgrade is between $10 and $25 depending on which card you prefer. That's a lot less than any new DS game. The manufacturers of the card get plenty of repeat customers, and are laughing all the way to the bank. Many flash carts have firmware that can be upgraded to beat the new detection schemes, too, but even those cards make a good profit as they are generally more expensive.

    Yeah this thing isn't going to kill piracy. Only Sony succeeds at that these days. Mainly by completely fucking your ability to INSERT A DISK INTO THE SYSTEM.

    I think this thing will be neat and I look forward to checking it out. The big screens make me a little nervous about battery life though... but with the bigger size maybe larger capacity batteries will be involved?

    This article here:

    http://www.i4u.com/article28394.html

    Are they talking about the DSi XL, because they keep saying "the next DSi". If so, why would Nintendo have the DSi XL be so powerful compared to the DS/DSi, possibly having DSi XL only games. Also, couldn't the Tegra 2 solve the resolution problems people were complaining about? Or do they really mean Nintendo's next handheld? That's what I would prefer.

    Really? I've had my DS Lite for over two years and it's held up really well.

    This reminds me of a quote from ISpy from Owen Wilson:

    "You want people to say, 'Look how small and sexy and sleek this is.' Not, 'How huge this is! Look what he pulled out of his pants. It's huge!'"

    No, they are not. It's a terrible choice of phrase.

    It's had quite a few problems since its release. Reports of broken hinges and malfunctioning shoulder buttons have been popping up all over. Poor build quality has, bar NES, never been an issue.

    I've heard of those before but they don't seem to be as widespread as the 360's RROD or even the NES's cart problems. My sister and mom also have DS Lites and they've also been trouble-free.

    And even then, people are already playing homebrew on the PSP Go. You can still put a memory stick in it, and so you can still load custom firmware and pirate.

    The lack of UMD wasn't about piracy. It was about Sony increasing their stranglehold on software distribution, about the elimination of the used games market, et cetera.

    One week until release, who's getting one? I guess a better question would be who's already got one and can tell the rest of us about it?

    I'm in the broken L and R trigger club. The POS looks nice, but really? Breaking a year after I get it? I mean, my DS from 2005 has 1/3 of its hinge broken, but it runs and feels WAY better than this "hai guyz lets be liek Appul sleak" garbage! Seriously, the DS line has been beaten to death, can't they move on already?

    I've had mine for around 4 years, many times with heavy gaming, and it still works great.

    If this ever happened to mine, it's an easy fix I pressume.

    The DSi XL reminds me of all the versions released of Street Fighter 2. All that is missing is "Super DSi XL" and possible "Super DSi XXL Turbo"

    I personally won't get one, sine my DS Lite is in perfect working order and I have no need to "upgrade".
