Having received my DSi today - thanks Amazon :) - I can say it really was worth the wait and the increased price. Here's why:

- The screens which are slightly larger than the DS and brighter are WOW for playing your favourite games on - I really noticed the difference

- Includes a free Internet browser which works really well for basic internet surfing

- Saving your music files onto an SD card works great, I can now listen to my music on the go or have the option to play games

- The camera function is great, great fun especially distorting faces

- The Wario Snapped game you can download for 500 points is terrific

- It only takes 2.5 hours to charge it up fully

- Also includes memo and voice recorder both of which can be very useful gadgets

If you love the DS - you will love this even more, I guarantee. And I think I heard that you will be able to download old gba games etc in the future so the download function has so much promise - very similar to the Wii functionality

I love mine - can't understand how people can give it bad marks when they haven't even owned or tried one!!! Look at reviews from people who actually have bought one.
