There are tons of games for all ages for the dsi. My only complaint is the graphics are sometimes bad.

Thanks to Kmart's layaway we were able to put this DSI in layway for our son's birthday. This made it affordable, so that we could get games and accessories for it. Once opened our son has used it for taking pictures, playing games and because it has a share feature with certain games he is able to play with friends. Great product for road trips and aiplane rides, no more "I'm bored when we go out traveling on the road". Cost reasonable and employees were very helpful in explaing what this game could do. This made our decision to buy this verison very easy. Prior to speaking to the Kmart employee...

AWESOME

LOVE IT. We bought the dsi for my son's 5th b-day and I'm so glad we did,it is such a fun game. The whole family enjoys it.We spent hours recording our voices and making them sound crazy, I never heard my kids laugh harder. It stays charged for a really long time and it's so cool to be able to take pics and send them right to your facebook from it. It was definately worth the money :)

Pretty good.

Nintendo's DSi turned out pretty good for our family. The DSi offers a camera and sound recorder, and a photo and video editing studio and an animation software. It plays DS games just the same as the regular DS. My only two complaints are that it can't play GBA games, which is nice once in a while, and it uses a different charger than the DS lite.

Nintendo's third console in the DS series is this right here. However the DSi, when compared to the DS Lite, has some improvements and a few drawbacks.

For starters, the DSi does not have a Gameboy advance slot and has a shorter battery life, but as a result, the DSi is smaller than the DS Lite and has a brighter background.

The DSi also has some features unique only to itself, such as the ability to have down loadable content via DSi ware, has its own camera and the built in software allows you to go back to the DSi's main menu with a push of a button, unlike the DS Lite where you have to shut...

The DSI is worth every penny. a gigantic video game selection, web browsing, downloading games, and an excellent battery life. The DSI XL is awesome too , but if you don't want to spend alot of money and are ok with no 3d, get the DSi over the 3ds. I would recommend it for everyone.

This is a very nice video game system, it doesn't cost a lot of money and it works well. It has slightly bigger screens than the DS Lite model but its biggest con is that it cannot play Game Boy Advance games. This is especially a problem if you play the Pokemon games and wish to upload Pokemon from your Game Boy Advance cartridges. You can't do that with this system, but you can do that with the DS Lite and regular Nintendo DS.  It is a bit thinner than the DS Lite and the color is very nice if you are an adult, it does not look like a kids system because the black is solid and matte color. Also...

For more than just games

The Nintendo DSi is so much fun! Not only can you play lots of games on it but you can also take pictures with the camera and distort them, change their colors, add little stars or hearts or glasses and pretty much just play around with it. It can store around 400 pictures.

It also has so many other features like sound effects where you can record something then change your voice's speed and tone and you can sound like a chipmunk or a robot or many other different things. We haven't tried all that you can do with that yet. 

It will entertain anybody for hours, and its not just for kids....

My son is 6 and for Christmas he got the Nintendo DSi. He loves it!! He likes to take pictures of his sisters, brother, the dog and of course mom and dad. He also likes that he can play some of the games that older kids are playing. It is small enough that his little hands can hold it!

My daughter got the nintendo ds for my grandchildren ages 5 and 7. They easily play the game . They can change to different games by thier selves.The camera is awesome. They take pictures and then make them silly. They can draw to. It was thier favorite christmas present hands down.

Great product with a great price.

This Nintendo DSi comes with great features like dual cameras, so that the photo taker can also be the subject of their own pictures; the ability to get online and "surf" for downloadable content; and even the ability to chat with other Nintendo DS users within a certain area.

Even without a game in the console, there is still many things the user can do with this wonderful little device. Whether it's using the internet, taking pictures or playing with sounds, this game packs a lot of bang for your buck.

My 8 year old LOVES his Nintendo DSi

I was reluctant to buy this for my son for his birthday.  I was worried he would want to spend all of his free time playing with it.  He LOVES it, and would like to spend as much time as possible.  Although we don't let him, it is wonderful to have on plane rides or longer car trips.  The battery life is surprisingly long, and he is able to take it just about anywhere. 

I am glad I bought this for him, but it is addicting!

Love it

Daughter passes time with it when she is waiting for me to pick her up from school. Fun and she loves to take the pictures too

You Should Get This!!!

Ok... THis new DSi has it's ups and downs. Some bad things about it is that it has a lot shorter battery life than theDS Lite and the internet on it is a bit slow. But on the other hand it has 2 cameras (one on the inside and ne on the out side) a music player (you can record your voice and download music) and you can surf the web (even though it may be a little slow). But I definatly recamend this product!
