Or how about the rumble pack, it's not built into DSi so with DSi you just can't use it... as well as other games that have unlockable stuff like that, I know there are more.
So yeah, I agree, the DSi is not a replacement for a DS, just a supplement. And despite the larger size this DSi LL/XL doesn't have a GBA slot, I'm pretty sure.
... Of course, the DS itself isn't a complete GBA replacement either, not if you want to use the link cable or GC link, so really you now need a GBA or GBA SP, a DS, AND a DSi or XL once it comes out, to be able to do all the stuff. Great. I thought backwards compatibility was supposed to keep us from having to do this stuff... :)
