I've downloaded some, but I'd like to eventually buy all of the ones that I decide to keep. Mainly since I tend to lose things...especially small things...like tiny game carts....oy. That way I can both legally own them and leave the thing I paid for at home and not risk accidentally leaving or dropping it somewhere, like my dearly departed first copy of Phoenix Wright 2. :P

I dont have an m3, or r4 so, I buy most of my DS games. There are an exception of few though, simple games where you dont really need the R and L buttons, X and Y buttons.. You know how annoying it is using that crap on the PC? And the stylus, I can stand playing games with stylus needed on the PC. To hard.

I buy the AAA titles like Link, Mario, etc and download the ones I'm not so sure about. Just remember that the more games WE pirate the less likely game developers will want to continue supporting the platform.

I only bought Pokemon Diamond, other than that every other game I've downloaded and played on my R4DS (a very good flash cart).

If the game is good, and i hear good things about I WILL BUY IT, however... if the game seems lacking, boring.. but seems fun to play I might download it in the future.. no R4 yet.... But i like to support the people who put good and hard work into games (Nintendo, Squarenix, Capcom)

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 do both but right now i'm out of cash

I prefer to download them because you will waste much money than just buying them .IMAGINE 30 - 40$!!!!!!That's too much.
