If you want to carry on playing your GBA games you should either keep your GBA or get a DSlite. Im not sure that DSI plays GBA games. I kept my GBA for all my old GameBoy games. I prefer DSlite, DSI seems more fragile and weird for me. If you want more up to date stuff then i would go for the DSI.reading this post, i didnt help much! :drool:

DSi does not have a GBA slot, so if u still have a GBA you can get a DSi and use your GBA to GBA games. If you willing to wait for while and have abit more money to spend you can wait for the 3DS.Otherwise a DS lite will also play your GBA games while giving you option of accessing game features in which your NDS game will get bonuses/features by having a GBA game in the DS Lites gba slot(eg pokemon PalPark).

DSlite is the way to go. it's smaller than the DS and can still play your GBA games which is a handy thing to have. DSi has some advantages but i think the DSlite is better.

At this point why not just wait for the 3DS?

Personally, I like the DS lite best. It's smaller than DSi, DSiXL, or DS, and I'm not sure of 3DS. I like the shape and light and everything, too. But if you want more functions, like camera, photo-editing, or 3D, go for the DSi or 3DS. ^^

personally i would go with the dslite for these reasons , you can play your GBA games on the dslite as the dsi has no gba slot , there reasonabily cheap at the minute so if money is a problem then thats the one for you plus if you do get bored of it you can always take it back to your local game shop and get a trade in price towards a 3ds or a dsi , however if your wanting the latest tech then get the 3ds espcially if you like the 3d features of it then go for that one :)
