I bought this product primarily for the Pokemon handheld games, which I've been a fan of since Pokemon Red and Blue first came out. It turned out to be an awesome purchase, and definitely well worth the money spent. PROS: Great display, touchscreen that has a very wide and interesting variety of usages in the different games I've played on it, a built-in microphone, surprisingly long battery life (when not connected to wi-fi), and a decently sized selection of games. CONS: Not too many here. The stylus is terrible, it made me feel like I was holding a toothpick, especially when playing games that require split-second reactions like Metroid: Prime Hunters or Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. So, if you plan on playing any games like these, an investment in a better, larger stylus wouldn't be a bad purchase. Another thing I didn't quite like is the lack of multimedia storage, such as music or movies. Not a deal-breaker, since that isn't what I bought this thing for, but it should be noted that the Sony PSP does come with these features at a comparable price. Also not sure if this is just my headphones or the DS system, but when playing with headphones, the volume level is very low. When I played in an airport, the background noise was much louder than the maximum volume with headphones. I'm sure that with volume boosting headphones though, it would be fine, or if you simply play it in quieter environments. All-in-all a very great purchase. It doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the DSi, or the new 3DS, but if all you're looking for is to play DS games without any of these features, then this is perfect for you.Read full review
I have an old DS (the chunky 1st gen one) and I got to say the DSi's screen is such an improvement. It has 5 levels of brightness, and on the highest level you can even play outside. Although you can't change the brightness while you are playing a game, which is a little annoying. The stylus is bigger which is sometimes a little nicer. The hinges seems cheaper than the older models and I've heard a lot of complaints of them breaking, but mine has been fine so far. I've always loved the DS's flip design; keep the screens scratch free. The DS's in general also have a huge selection of pretty cheaply priced games. The DSi has a lot of little gimmicky things in it, like the camera and the ability to access the internet, but honesty, you'll probably use those once and then never again.
I like it , good product so far as long as I can play in English . Japanese language not a problem. A+++

I received this in its original box. The box itself have a few dents but that is minor. The Nintendo DSI I bought looked exactly like the one in the picture. It had no scratches or any signs of play. Very pleased would highly recommend!
