So, will you be picking one of these DS models up on the cheap or holding out for the 3DS? DS-cuss in the comments below.
Sounds great but I will still wait on the 3DS. Why buy an old DS when I can have one plus 3D!?
I already own a DS lite, and I dont see enough reason to buy a DSi OR XL. Now the 3DS is finally coming and it is a true next step in the hardware line and would be more than happy to upgrade. Couple that with big name titles coming as well and nice new features, all that remains is to hope its not priced too expensively.
