Buying a $150 system three or four times for aesthetic improvements is not much more sane than buying a $250 system twice for an actual improvement, nor much less expensive.

Agreed, but I'm sure people justify their instant-gratification attitudes with that excuse.

I'll be buying a new DS Lite soon because the shoulder buttons on mine are not functional.

My original model DS has still worked, just like the day I got it. =3

I had to buy a 2nd DS.
But I had a good reason to, as my old DS was stolen over two years ago.

If Nintendo released a new Wii with three or four times the memory that I could move all my games, channels, Miis, saves, etc to I'd buy it in a heart beat if I could afford and find one.

I luckily popped my camera's memory card into the Wii, and noticed that it had over 15,000 (yes, fifteen thousand) blocks open on it. It costed about 20 dollars.

Yeah, but you can't play VC games or use other channels directly off the card.

I don't plan on using other channels very much, and I'm going to download very few Virtual Console games. Generally ones I want to play very badly, but I know I won't for a very long time. For example, Neo Geo games.

I don't find the channel very intresting, considering the factor that every video takes 10 minuites to load, and since the entire channel is pretty much movies, I just stop waiting.

That depends on your internet connection. Most videos load pretty quickly for me.

I like the new Channel. It however contains some outdated videos, but I like the DS Download service that will let you try out demos. Anyone have an idea for how frequently the channel updates?

I hope it updates at least once a week, like the VC (That would make it way more useful, even if it were usually video updates.).

The channel has some potential. Nintendo shouldn't just put out DS demos for download, but Virtual Console ones, too.
