Hrmm... interesting how the combined sells of EVERYTHING else are still less than half the volume of the DS lite.

Yes the DS Lite is kicking A$$ and even I, a hardcore PSP user plan on purchasing one soon.

However, with the recent brilliant work of Exophase and his stated continuation in developing gpSP, GBA can now be played on the PSP which now makes it far better than the Nintendo DS.

In terms of commercial game quality, its going to be a no-holds-barred shootout for the next 3 months with TONS of great games coming out for both the PSP & Nintendo DS. Even the GBA will see Final Fantasy V & VI released soon. And if they are playable on the PSP, I'd rather play them on the PSP hardware rather than the DS or GBA hardware.

Does anyone know if the newest DS Lites and/ or special editions are compatible with the SuperCard, Passkey, etc to run homebrew?

I would think Nintendo would try to take a page from Sony's book and prevent homebrew on the DS by maybe updating the hardware or something. But then again, the DS is selling so well as well as their games that Nintendo might not even be worried about it.
