There's no firm date for the UK yet. DS says early 2009 for the UK, and late 2008 for Japan.

Will anyone be able to afford one, given the state of the financial markets, I intend to spend as little as possible as it will be a struggle to put food on the table let alone purchase luxuries.

I don't think its any better than the normal DS Lite apart from the bigger screens.

Camera - there really is no need.

SD Slot/Removal of GBA Slot - What is the point in that!! now Guitar Hero won't work as it used the GBA slot for the add on.

and with the addition a R4nds card the current version can play music and homebrew games

It's a huge wasted opportunity I feel, no doubt those in Japan will go bonkers for it.

I was thinking of getting one, then I saw that there was no GBA slot. That will make a lot of Nintendo fans who wanted one and used the GBA very angry.

to be honest if they already have a normal ds they can just play them on that, but that you can backup your gba games and put them on a m4 or something i dont know
