Hi guys,

Just read that the release date & pricing have been revealed for the upcoming Nintendo Dsi, and I was just wondering if you were going to be replacing the Ds Lite with the Dsi?

Story can be found: here

It's being released on April 3rd, and will retail for £149.99

mmm got a nice email from GAME earlier again saying:

Dear Customer,

You may have noticed that we have already contacted you this morning regarding the
Nintendo DSi, which was officially announced to the European market today.

Unfortunately we've had a bit of a hiccup!

In this email we listed the new features that can be expected with the DSi on launch.

One of these bullet points stated that the DSi will come with 2 touch screens, unfortunately
this is not the case.

The DSi will come with only one touch screen, the same as the DS, however both screens
on the DSi have been expanded to 3.25inches.

We're obviously sorry for this miscommunication, however we hope you share our colossal
excitement for the DSi release on the 3rd April.

Kind Regards,

The Customer Service Team
GAME.co.uk

to which i replied 'smooth'

I'll be getting one from FJ

tronsmith · 19-02-09, 08:21 PM

Do you think the R4 cards will be conpatible with the DSI?

rollingsta · 19-02-09, 09:30 PM

0.3 megapixil camera thats rubbish. With the technology now days you would of thought it would have a better camera

Rayman · 19-02-09, 10:22 PM

still prefer the PSP, DS was alryt tho

patrick2119 · 20-02-09, 05:21 PM

They sound pretty good, I do agree that a 0.3 megapixel camera is pretty rubbish by today's standards though.

For mobile phones and digital cameras, manufacturers have been increasing the number of pixels in order to appeal to the consumers. However, we have taken almost the opposite approach. We cannot boast about the resolution, as the camera for DSi has a 0.3 megapixel resolution.

On the other hand, the DSi Camera software includes 11 types of special camera lenses. This means DSi can take pictures by utilizing a variety of special effects on a real-time basis. You can change the whole picture to black and white, colour the portions you touch or exchange the existing colour with a new one on the area you touch, make a composite picture using preinstalled frames or make the frames for yourselves, draw a variety of graffiti on the pictures, use the technology to recognize human faces and put glasses and moustaches on them, combine two people’s faces with different portions of one’s features, and confirm to what degree two faces are resembling by utilizing the face-recognition engine. These functions can be enjoyed with the unique Nintendo user interfaces that you are familiar with
