I download all of them, couse i dont have any money and becouse i dont own nintendo ds :( Luckly my pc is strong enough to emulate them, but if i had a nds it would be really nice, playing a game in the computer is not the same as playing one in a console.

im the same i will download to try but i like to buy any games that i enjoy or will play often. it also gives you the oppurtunity for multiplayer if a friend is over and they dont have the rom or game

There is just no comparison. Hands down for downloading! I haven't bought a game in at least 3 years. However, because I download games I have become really spoiled and haven't even played all the games that I have downloaded. Whereas if I had actually purchased them, there is no doubt that I would have played them at least a little bit.

I personally try to purchase all my games. However, if I can't find the game in stores, because it is either no longer sold there or out of production, I come here and download it.

I buy games whenever possible, but otherwise I test the game first.

I just got four ds lites for the family and buying all the games costs so much so I think the R4 is a fantastic idea. I'm not sure how to go about all this R4 stuff but I am checking it out, especially since I'm not rich and all the games cost so much. Even for used games they just cost way to much money.

I'm starting to do both now. I buy the ones I believe need support i.e. the games that would flop commercially, but are otherwise perfectly good games.Cult games deserve our attention. If you want more like them, you've got to buy them, to support the developers that create them. Otherwise, the market will be flooded with Nintendogz and Pokémon rip-offs, creating a barren monocultural videogame wasteland. And quite frankly, as much as I like free videogames, I have to think of the long term picture. If no one buys a certain type of game, no one will develop them. That is the way of our capitalist society.

Most of my games I have bought but there are some that I have downloaded to my chip. I prefer buying because you get the box and the instructions.

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.

yeah it's much player friendly concept to download the very costly DS games...hurray for the developers! >=(

I download them because it's free and you don't have to switch games all the time.
