DS Daily: Would you buy another DS?

When it comes to the DS, you've got options. You can go traditional, you can move up to a Lite, and you can choose from a variety of colors. You can even import if your region doesn't feature the shade you prefer. But would you buy another regular DS or bundle? Would it depend on price? What about the rumored redesigned DS, sans GBA slot? If it came with that also-rumored download service, we'd be all over it, but the GBA slot is near and dear to our hearts. There might be tears.

I think I would. I've not used the GBA slot at all, which is weird.. I guess I just lost all my GBA games >.

Maybe I'm just a whiner.. but why can't Nintendo add WPA/WPA2 to newer DS models? It's bad enough it wasn't included in the original--there's no excuse for the DS Lite--and its a total joke that Nintendo isnt supporting it for even the newest releases.

Pretty lame, Nintendo.

I'd buy a new model of the DS if it had enough new features, but as far as different colors and special editions...nope.

I've already bought four, (three were stolen), so I'd need a really good reason to buy a fifth.

I probably won't get another one. Unless of course the update is something drastic, which to be honest, I kind of doubt.

I have a white original DS and a black DS Lite. I will definitely buy the next Nintendo handheld, be it an upgrade to the current DS Lite, or something completely new. I'll keep my current ones to lend out to my scabby friends.
