Hmm, it may be kind of oriented for kids but there is a lot of adult oriented software for DS. I play mine occasionally. I'm no kid. LOL! I also have a PSP. I'd like to get the internet browser for the DS, man that would make it quite powerful.

Well,i just shows you how far off the ball Sony can be. Question
The DS(i) is massively promoted for adults (you've seen the ads?) I myself have a DS, i'm in my 40's, the wife has just bought the DSI (traded in her DS) the Wi Fi is very good, the browser takes a bit of getting used to, although GameGuru RSS feeds are brilliant on it Wink
Both of us play GTA: Chinatown (each) and we have a shed load of games each. I also own a PS3 BUT i don't own a PSP. Why? Well, what i can buy on PS3 i don't want to own on a PSP. Whereas, on the DS it WONT be on another format -which is why it's unique, that and it's excellent battery life.
Edit:
The DSI plays GTA smoother than my DS and the larger screen is a bonus.

The DSi looks good but we've only had the DS for just over a year. I think I am more to look into getting the browser added on before I have to get rid of my DS. It was the biggest upset I had with the DS that they were not selling the browser. The DS with a browser would be deadly. Wife only got PSP for games she doesn't play on PS3 and PC. The PSP also has a pretty decent browser which makes up for the lack of browser on my DS. I use my Blackberry to cruise the net when I need it. You mentioned the DSi has excellent WiFi, which is true, it's amazing how far I can go and still reach my secure WiFi network.
