Pros and Cons of DSi

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

rolls out of its latest iteration of the , the this April on 5th. The new one is a bunch of cool little features that includes two digital camera lenses, internal storage, and SDHC card support. The new also manages to look and feel even better than the . But, the question arises: Do drop $170 on this new gaming handheld?

Here is some one pro and one big con, and then can easily make out.

The Pro: The extra features of the tacked on to this iteration make it a gaming- and gadget-lover’s plaything.

The Con: As much as it is noticed what is trying to do here, most of it is in half-steps. It means that just 256MB of internal memory. can find that inside cereal boxes at this point. The memory is cheap, and yes, the space is not such. In running the game off of an SDHC card if are trying to save money, but don’t tease the action with that slot and say that it is only good for stashing photos, unused apps, and AAC music files. No MP3 and also No WMA No….WAV. In short, it is noticed that the is very much one system update shy of greatness.
