Well, if the DSi is able to access the firmware while playing a game (like how the PSP does), the battery bar would most definitely be there. I'm hoping for a built-in soft reset in the firmware as well.

QUOTE(viledante @ Oct 2 2008, 06:25 PM) oh, forgot about GBA, who going to play it again?  yeah, GH on tour, forgot about that too. but maybe GH will use the function of the touch screen, both touchable, one for fret, one for strum =/ You can't even start the game without the grip attached....idea won't work.

QUOTE(viledante @ Oct 2 2008, 07:34 PM) Oops, mistook the volume control for the SD slot. Now the volume control being controlled by buttons, one with small hands might accidentally press it, yet we won't know if it's at the maximum volume by a glance and definitely lower sensitivity intervals. But those people who carry their DS for music in their pockets would find the button arrangement handy. Maybe a long hold to switch tracks?

I think the price still around RM600~700 But since they had remove the slot 2, shouldn't they lower the price I think this release will surely wipe out all of the Flash Card as I think they had changed the board of DS > < This post has been edited by TongCN: Oct 2 2008, 07:56 PM

When it first arrives here, expect shops to hike it up to RM800 to RM1k+. It's happened with DSL, it can happen again. As far as flash cards are concerned...high chances it won't work with this DSi....by now Nintendo would have done something with the firmware..but only time will tell....

The absence of a SLOT-2 really affects my decision to get one of these. If the SD card can replace SLOT-2 functions (other than guitar frets, paddles, and rumble feature which I don't really care about), I might consider one.

But it doesn't really matter if I going to change or not since there are only some new feature add in there and remove my lovely slot 2 I like slot 2 more than camera Btw, do hope the D-pad and button plus L & R have some improvement > < Then I might consider one This post has been edited by TongCN: Oct 2 2008, 08:02 PM

Support for WPA, bigger screen and improved speakers are definitely catching my eye here, but that means we won't be seeing anymore extra equipment that could be inserted into the DS for games and the like, which means the SLOT-2 will eventually be obsolete anyway.

Makes sense if they arent going dual touchscreen. It'll be a rather stupid move if they did.
