  • Plays DS and DS Lite games; capable of AAC music playback; larger screens than the DS Lite
  • Doesn't play MP3 audio files; reduced battery life; camera function is gimmicky
  • The Nintendo DSi is great if you're looking for a new handheld games console, but there's very little point buying one if you already own a DS Lite. It's merely mediocre as an audio player, its VGA cameras are poor and under-utilised, and its battery ...

  • Abstract:  Its way too easy to look at new Nintendo hardware through eyes clouded with cynicism, and the DSi – a tweaked, upgraded version of the DS Lite – is just as susceptible to being scowled at. Not least by PSP owners, who will scoff at the DSis apparentl...
