Which ds to buy?

[EVERS666]

Planning on getting my little one a ds for Xmas, which ds should I get for a 3yr old.
And what card do I need to get?
Thank.

Depends how much money u want to spend and what's games u want them to play ?

She's only 3, may be games like mario cart etc, I'll also have a play as well.

1. i would steer clear of dslites if the little un is only three.
dslite hinges break very easily and toddlers can be rough on these devices..

2. i wouldn't bother with the 3ds for a kid that age, tbh i am not greatly impressed with the 3ds effect at all.
not worth the extra money for me...

3. i would only buy an XL console ,
the extra screen size makes a difference, especially if your going to be putting movies on it.

so i would probably go for a dsiXL refurb with either an acekard or or the new r4i 3ds card.
that way you won't be down a tonne of money if the kid breaks it..

i have seen dsixl refurbs going for around the ?70 mark on fleabay.

Take it from someone who had 4 kids and gone through 4 ds lites.

Dont get one of these. They have all broken down at some point with either the hinges going or one of the screens dying.

In the end I will get them either a DSi or just get them a second hand PSP.

yes go for a old psp and use custom firmware and run games off a memory card

hi you can get a dsi to work from a card with firmware and download the games to it just the same as a psp as you put it thanks
