I'd hold off until spring and get the DSi LL. Or import one from Japan, which I did. My girl goes to bed each night with her DS, so she'll love this one.
The DS library has a lot of shit, much like the Wii...but there is a large number of great games for the older crowd.
Whoever said that their neice loves her DS with Little Big Planet obviously shouldn't be offering advice in this thread. Little Big Planet is a SONY product.
