Maybe I might get one after the recession? $375 is far too expensive for something that is almost the same thing.

That's an obscene price. I was thinking of getting one because I sold my old DS, but that's just waaaaay too much money. I got my PSP with a game for less than half that.

The old DS was bad enough, I probably won't get this new one especially with that price tag attached to it.

I'll probably grab this even though the titles that make use of the new features will be low on quality. Three reasons; 1. The DS store 2. My current DS Lite's lower screen has a few scratches visible in certain lights (I blame this on Ninja Gaiden) 3. I like new stuff.

We have a DSlite ... is the difference between that, and the newer DSi significant to warrant the purchase price if we've already got a DS?

It would be pretty hilarious to start saying "Squirt Ya" though...
