if you have a daughter who hasnt got a ds then this is definately the perfect gift. The DS console has 2 screens (1 touch 1 not), a stylus (hidden inside the ds), a mic and 2 speachers. It is an amazing fun easy-to-use console perfect for anyone of any age. It is even more amazing at 89.99 so buy before price increase. Nintendogs is an alright game for the young/old girl. In my opinion, the dsi is not worth it, this is just as good. Hope you make the right choice!
