Nintendo DSi

All right, readers. As you guys should know, I'm a huge Nintendo fanboygirl. So me posting this is inevitable. ;)

The newest iteration of the Nintendo DS, the Dsi, has come out of hiding! The company's new handheld gets a 17% bigger screen (measuring in at 3.25 inches), a .3 megapixel camera, an SD memory card slot, and “audio enhancements” like the ability to listen to mp3s, adjust pitch and playback.

The DSi will also feature built-in browsers and a DSi shop. Pricing categories at the shop for DsiWare include Free, 200 points, 500 points, and a “Premium” 800 points. New DSi owners will get 1000 points to spend at the DSi Shop before March 2010.

Now, that sounds awesome, right? But let's look in-depth.

the battery life is significantly lower and it's no longer backwards compatible with GBA titles

K, now that sucks. I for one like to take my handheld devices for long trips and losing 1-6 hours of battery life is a lot for me. But with the addition of a camera, I can tell that Nintendo will be brewing up some more games that already utilize the innovative touch screen. Will I buy it? Hell yeah... but maybe after the first price drop. More info when it comes!
