We've got R4s for each, but the kids can only play games they own .. The R4 is just easier then switching Carts and they don't lose the games that way.

I bought most of my games lately, but now I'm getting a chip so i could download games. I found it much more affordable to download games rather than buy them. Each game costs about 30-40$ if you buy them but when you download you just have to buy the chip and download games on this site with DPs, man that's awesome.

i use 2 buy them..but now i download them because i dnt have 2 waste anymore money

Not a waste of money if you enjoy the game ... there are some we wished we hadn't bought

I'd lose the game if I did buy it.That happened a lot before I got an R4 too. I kept on washing my games and they ended up going bhsdsabhjc. >:Now, I update my sav data on the computer, so even if the files corrupted, I still have backup.So yea, going with downloading.

I would buy, but some of the games I play are imported. So it's sometimes better to have a digital copy on hand than the cartridge.....

i bought a ds and the first game i got was "lunar dragon song"... it was a dreadful game that made be feel like i wasted my $60 AUS... the next games i bought were pokemon diamond and pearl cuz they came with a holo foil cover... i then bought elite beat agents and then later i heard of a thing called an R4...i then downloaded the same games i owned so i can play it with CHEATS... now i dunno what to do with my originals cuz if i trade them into EB its the same thing as giving them away for free cuz EB give you peanuts for your games...and yes i've heard of eBay but its too much of a hassle so i just keep them on display in my bedroom :o

I used to buy them and realised i wasn't playing much with my DS... well not enough for the 30-40$ you have to pay for them. So now I bought a flashcard and I am now evil, downloading every game....

I buy my DS games. It's very similar to the way I get my songs; I buy all my songs from iTunes.. It's a very expensive OCD.

Downloading them is so much easier, and you can fit many more games onto a card.

I bought my first game but then I found out that buying the R4 chip is much cheaper in the long run, so i download the rest of my games

I used to buy my games. But seeing as they were about $25 after tax and such and I live in a city with HIIIGH tax, my wallet's starting to get a little empty. I got my R4 a few days ago, so now, I download. I also have a lot of SD cards so, that's not a problem. Between my camera/phone/DS, I have about 12 gigs of memory. Including flash drives, I have about 30 gigs of memory.

Downloading games is the cheaper way, but a lot of the games I've encountered have bugs T_T;;;So I tend to buy the ones where the game is entirely messed up haha~
