They play them maybe once a month or so and don't complain about them. They play pretty basic games--Jillian more than Cassie.
Jillian has asked for a DS for Christmas. Mainly because other kids have them and she wants the cupcake game. If I'm going to get a new system for one, I should get them for both so that they can exchange games and accessories.
I don't really like the thought of paying for 2 DSi's when they don't play them TOO much. But will the DS Lite be so outdated by next Christmas that I will be kicking myself for not spending the extra $50 a kid? The money isn't flowing too freely this Christmas, so this would be their main gift along with a couple of games each.
Maybe get each a DS Lite and if they really like them and use them a lot? Get the DSi next year when the prices comes down a bit more? And they'll be able to use all of their DS Lite games for it still?
