Can the Nintendo DS Lite play movies? Does it have a built- in speaker? and does it have wireless internet?

DS Lite answers...

1.) No, there is not a movie selection available for the DS Lite like there is for the PSP.

2.) Yes, the DS Lite has built-in speakers but they are smaller and weaker than those of the DS.

3.) Yes, the DS Lite has built-in support for 802.11b wireless networking.

Hope this helps,
John

Thanks again! I heard one of my friends saying that the DS Lite has some game catridge movies instead of games where you insert the catridge and it will play a movie- Is this true?

AFAIK, VERY limited selection

For GBA, there are cartridge based movies limited to children's selections like Bratz, Spongebob, Pokemon, and the like. AFAIK, it's similar for the DS at best. There may be some hack/tweak to play video files on a DS/lite, but again I'm not sure, and I'm guessing it may be more trouble than it's worth

have you ever compared the size of a ds game card to a sd memory card?the ds cartridge is a bit bigger which makes you have to wonder why nintendo dosn't make a special memory card for the ds that you can put your music pics videos and whatever else you want on it it wouldnt be that hard for them it would probably cost about the same as the games and would probably be a big sucsess
