It features an online store for downloading exclusive games. And it adds a camera to broaden how players interact with the best-selling platform. But other than that, the DSi looks and feels a lot like the DS Lite. So here are five reasons to save your money and wait for something else.<p><a href=\"http://kristink.newsvine.com/_news/2009/04/29/2752869-top-5-reasons-to-pass-on-the-nintendo-dsi\">Tell us: Will you be picking up Nintendo's new DSi?<br></br><P ALIGN=RIGHT><i>-- Blake Snow</i><br><p ALIGN=LEFT><a href=\"http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25128965\"><img src=\"http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/Components/Interactives/_swf/tonytesting/gamewidget/Grab_top5_widget_button.gif\" border=0></a></p>";
