DSi coming to Europe two days before America, will cost £149.99
“Ha! We’re getting DSi on April 5th!” snort the Americans.”Ner ner ne ner ner!” retort the Europeans, thumbing their noses at their US counterparts as Nintendo announces a launch date of April 3rd in PAL territories the following day.
“We’re getting a blue model, though!” laugh the US residents.
“Ah, but we’ve got white!” is the response.
“Yeah, well ours only costs $179.99!”
“Oh.”
Yep, it’s going to be a penny shy of £150 for us UK residents, which for my money is £20 too much - but then Nintendo is marketing this as a premium option rather than a replacement for the Lite, so the price is hardly a shock. No pricing details have been announced for the rest of Europe as yet, and no further info regarding DSi software is yet available - expect more news in the coming weeks (though probably not from me, sob).
Will you be buying DSi, readers? Do let me know by posting a comment below.

I cracked waiting for the DSi and just got a DS lite last month, but *might* be tempted if Game or HMV have any good trade-in deals going.

I think you mean DSi in the title.
But I don’t think I’m going to get it. If I’m totally honest, after I stopped playing Animal Crossing DS (I was surprised how much will-power that took to put down) I haven’t played the DS that much. Although my sisters regularly play it.

I really like the DSi and think it is a huge improvement over the DS & DS Lite, however, I wish they had released the device with more games and applications that take into account the new camera system.
