I hadn't planned on buying on, but a good friend of mine insisted I aquire one. I had been saving money for a Wii, but after my parents confirmed that they had gotten me one for christmas that year, I decided to apply my money to a DS instead. Not a week later I found someone selling one used for a steal.While I bought it initially because it was a good deal and I might play games on it, I wound up using it more than the Wii, especially after I got my flash card. My MP3 player died a while back, and I don't have the funds to buy a new one. Thus, my DS is now my MP3 player.

To play great games from Nintendo from the big names and some other interesting smaller games. There have been a few classics. Wouldn't want any other handheld for that matter.

In the time when Animal Crossing got released, you got all these cute and appealing tv commercials.. that did their job really well! Making me wanting to buy the game. At that time I didn't own a DS yet, so I had no choice. A DSlite + ACWW was my first DS related purchase..

I bought my DSi since my DS was broken and I'mr eally starting to regret buying a DSi over just buying a new DS...no GBA slot (I knew that but underestimated how much I lvoe ym GBA games), the surfing is nice but won't load a ton of pages and, quite anoying, it refuses to play some imported games...
