DS Lite - go for now or wait?

I'm playing with the idea of picking up a DS Lite, and the Walmart deal I saw posted here looked good, but given how the details on the new system are coming out at E3, I'm wondering if the price will drop soon. Anybody have any guesses on this, and how long the Walmart deal's likely to go on for, or stores with similar deals?
 
go for the DSi. Better d-pad, better buttons, better screen...
Unless you play GBA games and don't have a GBA or Micro or something
 
I don't know. If they announce a price drop, I doubt it would be implemented until Fall. If it were me, I would buy one, but be sure I was getting in on a deal like the Wal-Mart one you mentioned or at Dell (White DSi).

EDIT: The deal at Dell is actually for the Black DSi now. About $150 after tax (free shipping) Dell

EDIT2: OR, if your interested in Mario and Luigi: Bowsers Inside Story, you could get this bundle Amazon

Best deal is the Wal-Mart one, you can choose from a list of games that you want (Bowsers Inside Story included, also Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks) and get an accessory pack. Wal-Mart

And yeah, I would get a DSi, not a Lite. All the enhancements noted above and you can download games (Two are free at the moment Photo Dojo and Flipnote)

I'm definitely interested in the GBA games, so I'm not really looking for a DSi. Backwards compatibility is a big bonus for me.
 
Ah well, yeah, I would go for this deal: Wal-Mart

And yeah, you are getting two games valued at about $30 each. So its like getting a DSLite for $90 plus accessories. If a price drop is announced, I can't imagine them making it less than $90.
