The new Nintendo DSi has sort of quietly been forgotten here in the States since it was released last year exclusively in Japan. But no more! The shipping embargo is going to be lifted this coming April 5, 2009 — just two months away. Don’t miss out on your chance to be the first gamer on your block with the latest and greatest portable gaming gadget from Nintendo.
The Nintendo DSi is fully compatible with all DS games and boasts larger screen size, better audio quality, built-in front and back cameras, AAC music playback support, and SD card expansion slot. Currently it’s available for pre-order on Amazon for $169.99 which is cheaper than the Japanese unit which retails for around $189 when converted to USD. The DSi will be region-locked so you can’t go out and buy an imported DSi and expect your US games to work on it. It’s going to be available initially in two colors: matte blue (pictured) and matte black. Limit two per household, get your DSi pre-orders in now before they go out of stock.

One of the things I can not understand, is why nintendo will not be releasing the Blue dsi in the UK?
This is what I dont fully understand. Why does the US get blue and black and the UK gets black and white consoles? Why not just suppply all 3 colours to everyone?
That blue is awful, thankfully in the UK the choices are black and white!
Yeah, blue makes it look cheap.
