DSI and travelling

[spider98]

Had a quick look at a dsi, well, bigW wouldn't even take it out of the box unless I bought it!!
I'm not much into pc games, however I thought it might be worthwile getting one for travel/holidays.
a. the card with a 100 books interest me, are they unabridged?
b. can the dsi be used as an ebook reader for other books?
c. what does an acekard do?
d. can it really be used to access the net, lets say at a wifi cafe, etc.....?

Any info apprec. Spider

[whitey66]

a) Yes
b) Yes
c) Google it,check out DSTTi as well.
d) Yes,as well as lots of other cool stuff.

Should I get one overseas (Bangkok) or here??

[urban_s0ulja]

probably here so you'll have warranty.
In my experience electronics arent THAT much cheaper in bangkok/hk/etc
my fav would be acekard2i for these units.

If you are thinking of going with D, then get a C. Why? Becuase you will be able to add rather useful programs like DSKey or other Wifi finders (the new DSi is better at grabbing a signal, even aircrack ), as well as other programs like MSN.

I wouldn't get one OS because of the fact that you would have to get a charger for Australian conditions in the end and they have a specific charging plug (Nintendo changed this for the DSi from the DS I believe).

If you want to try one out go to EBgames or a game store they probably have one lying around under the counter that the staff mess with.
