Another week and another presentation of a FF limited edition handheld.

In this case, it's a Nintendo DSi to coincide with the FF Crystal Chronicles Echoes of Time.

The camera on the front has a picture of the The Cat and the words "Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Echoes of Time" around the camera.

Since there was no FF Wii version, this is the most recent Nintendo contribution (in 2009) to FF limited edition handhelds/consoles.

The DSi was the best DS (the DS XL was a bit silly in my opinion).

It's hard to get but not rare.

I think you would be paying $US300 excl delivery to purchase of these.

Nice box!~

I have to disagree with that statement strongly, because of 2 of it's shortcomings, one of which I experienced first hand dealing with a friend's DSi.
The one I experienced was a problem with the volume control, as it had malfunctioned leaving him with no sound unless he managed to hold the VOLUP key the entire time (I honestly do not feel that digital volume controls are a good idea)
The other is that there was a portion of the DS library that could not be played on it due to the loss of the GBA slot.

that being said: it is a nice looking piece of hardware

With the DS, headphones or a external speaker system (computer) is required. Same with the PSP. Handhelds don't have enough sound volume.

Because I kept my GBA, I did not miss the loss of a GBA. However, there are still a lot of good GBA games around. Certainly it was a diappointment for me losing the GBA slot.

TBH all the DS's are terrible, but that's just my opinion. They all feel so cheap. When I decided on my DS, I tried all of them and decided on DSi. It's best in my eyes and luckily havn't had any issues with volume. When comes to Gameboy titles, I just play GB games on my GB.

That said, this model looks fantastic. I love how it's simple and yet very artistic. Do want.

idk, the sound output on my original DS seems to be just fine

not to mention the small library of games that require, or support an accessory pack (Guitar Hero on tour with the fretboard being a required accessory pack, and the rumble pack being an optional one) and some games having extra features when you have certain GBA games plugged in (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red and Blue rescue team are a set of games that come to mind, or pokemon DP allowing for use of pokemon being transferred from RSE and FLRG)

And the rumble pack needed the GBA slot!
