Unboxed: the Nintendo DSi

Nintendo sent us our Nintendo DSi review unit this morning. Follow along all the excitement step by step with our unboxing slide show. Like the previous two DS systems, the packaging is overly simple, very much in the vein of an Apple product.

Right away we noticed the free games promotion sticker we talked about last week. Anyone who purchases a DSi by October 5, 2009 will receive 1,000 free DSi Points to spend in the DSi Shop.

When we first turned the DSi on, we were greeted with a setup screen followed by a short tutorial that explains the various functions of the device's cameras.

The DSi goes on sale this Sunday, April 5 for $170. Check CNET this week for our full review!

That box is slick.

i want one but 170 is just too much :/<br /><br />I'll wait 6 months and get a used one probably.

... wow I wish I had that kind of money! Otherwise I'd go buy it after Church (I normally go, but come on, it's Palm Sunday, people!), play it all day, then take it to Youth Group! XD

I will more than likely be getting one, since I haven't owned any variety of DS (or any Nintendo product for that matter). I've been wanting a DSLite, but was waiting for the DSi. <br /><br />It releases the day after my birthday. Looking forward to it.

Wow DS's have gotten a little expensive, but the DSi worths it.

[flamehotspot]

yeah but the only thing that is bad about the dsi is that it cant play any gameboy advance games

How come when I download the video it is still very low quality?<br /><br />I really want to buy the DSi and I currently own a DS Lite. This is making me too excited!!
