DS is six next month and for his birthday he would like a DS like his sister's but not pink! (She has a pink DSi which is a few years old).
I'm wondering whether to buy him a 3DS or a DSi. There is not much difference in price (I had thought the 3DS would be much more expensive but it's only about £20 more) and it seems like places like Amazon are no longer promoting games for the DSi so I'm wondering if they're going to be discontinued?
However, I know that there has been some talk about the 3DS being bad for eyesight. DS has problems with his eyesight - he wears glasses and sometimes wears a patch for lazy eye (which I think may mean he may not see the 3D anyway!) We've been told that wearing his patch while using a standard DSi would be good for his vision...
Also if we get a DSi he'll be able to share games with his sister, which I don't think will be possible if we get a 3DS (?)
I've heard that you can turn the 3D off the 3DS so is it worth buying one and doing this, or should we just get a DSi (not pink!)???
Any advice most welcome (oh, and would love to hear what the best DS games are for a 6 year old boy - he loves playing on his sister's moshi monster game). Thank you x
