If someone was buying you a gift of one DS system.....

I almost spat out my Taco Bell watching this guy... Fun stuff.

I hope to see a lot of people vote, and will make my decision in the next week or two on the best DS or DSi.

having own the DS Lite, i recommend you to buy
the DSi XL even though it has no GBA slot. the bigger
screen will do you justice. just buy another GameBoy Advance
for the gameboy game. notice that when you play gameboy
games on the DS, the screen gotten smaller. might as well
just buy a new GameBoy Advance.

DSi XL got me vote.

[Chukie sue]

None of those, but not a PSP. DS Phat's are the way to go.

DSiXL though I believe has a decent d-pad.

whatever happened to the original DS, im sure some people would still like that.

It all depends on the situation dude. Do you even have gba games is the real question...

Yeah, i have them (GBA games) but the family member getting the gift might have gotten my DS Lite. So I think the XL, based on screen size, is a good choice.

Amazon has no magnifiers (worth buying for the DS Lite/DSi, which makes my choice that much easier).

[FOkyasuta]

Ah ok. So your gonna use the DS Lite to play gba games behind his or hers back no?

DSi/DSi XL. I've owned every DS ever made, but I love the hell out of the DSi XL. Sure there's no GBA slot, but The DSi and DSi XL felt the most comfortable to me. (that and i have a GBA SP and a Game Boy Player XD) Plus, some of the DSi Ware Titles are pretty fun. (I say both, because The DSi is smaller, in case you have Smaller hands.)
