Is Nintendo DS the Best System to Get for 11 year old Boy?

He's turning 11 next month and already has a GameBoy, but is begging me for a DS. He definitely wants a hand-held system. Is there anything out there (or coming out soon) that I should look at instead? If DS is good, what accessories should I get for it - it has a wireless component, right?

    yeh it is a good descision because it plays game boy advance games, and has the wirless componet. you should get some screen protecters. and get the ds lite.

    Hey, the DS is the best for children, since it doesnt have as many violent games (except for Resident Evil: Deadly Silence) and is a little simpler to use than the PSP. The DS I think would be perfect for him.

    handheld martket is done for awhile now. psp and ds are it for right now. I'd suggest a psp since you can do more with it than just play games. but if he's begging for a ds, then get him a ds.

    I think its one of the best. PSP is ok but get him what he wants if you think the cost is ok.

    As for acessories maybe an Ac adapter.
