| The DSi is getting cheaper. It's almost as if there's a newer product on the way... |
By Ryan Winslett
If you have somehow made it this long without picking up one of the kabillion variations of the Nintendo DS, I have some good news and some bad news for you.
The good new is that Nintendo has announced their popular DSi and DSi XL handheld systems will be seeing a price drop on Sept. 12 with the normal, puny sized DSi now going for $149.99 and the super-huge DSi XL dropping to a mere $169.99. According to Nintendo, the DS Lite model will remain at $129.99.
"We know shoppers want to get the maximum value out of every dollar they spend," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales and marketing. "Our new Nintendo DSi prices make it easier than ever for consumers to access the tremendous variety of games, applications and social tools on the Nintendo DSi and DSi XL systems."
The bad news? You'll be just in time to be late to the next party once the 3DS ships next year. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be ready to upgrade by the time the 3DS XXL 4085-K model ships six months later.
