The Nintendo DSi is a high-powered handheld video game system in a sleek, Metallic Blue folding design-loaded with features designed to create a unique gaming experience. Like the DS and DS Lite before it, the DSi features Nintendo's trademark stylus-driven touchscreen technology, but determined to make portable gaming simultaneously larger and smaller in all the right places, Nintendo has also created the DSi with significantly larger screens and an even slimmer body design than its earlier cousins. Other features include the ability to snap photos with built-in cameras, edit and send them to friends, play back your music with Nintendo DSi Sound, or browse the Internet with the Nintendo DSi Browser. From playing games to just playing around, the Nintendo DSi does it all.
Features:
The DSi's Two Digital Cameras
The most noticeable feature of the slim Nintendo DSi system are its two cameras - one camera is situated on the external body pointing away from the user, and the second one points at the user when the device is flipped open. As the first truly interactive digital camera in a video game system, the DSi Cameras feature 10 different interactive "lenses" that can manipulate your photos, offering an easy way to take and share your photos with family and friends. The cameras also present people with unprecedented ways to interact with their games, and in the process provide developers with a new tool to devise creative games and experiences. If the touch screen gave Nintendo DS a sense of feel and the microphone allowed it to hear, the two cameras give Nintendo DSi the sense of sight.
Pre-Installed Titles from the Mario Collection:
Enjoy titles like - Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!, WarioWare: Snapped!, Dr. Mario Express, Mario Calculator, Mario Clock From games to applications, your Nintendo DSi comes packed with Mario-themed fun. Challenge yourself with the puzzles in Mario Vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again, put yourself in the weird world of WarioWare: Snapped!, or play a few rounds of Dr. Mario Express. You can also do quick calculations with the Mario Calculator or nab coins while you keep time with the Mario Clock. The Mario Collection turns your Nintendo DSi system into a Mario machine!
DSi Sound
Another enhanced feature is the Nintendo DSi Sound application, which serves as both an interactive voice recorder and music player that allows users to play with their music while they listen to it. Users can access different audio filters or control the pitch and speed of recorded voice or music files to alter voices or change the tempo of a song. The mic is located between the two screens when the device is flipped open, and there is also a stereo headphone output that lets users listen to music saved on an SD card, even with the screen shut.
The DSiWare
In the world of software, Nintendo DSi will be the platform for the most relevant and fun on-the-go games and applications. The Nintendo DSiWare application will populate Nintendo DSi with software that can be downloaded using Nintendo DSi Points directly to the portable system, just as WiiWare has with Nintendo's Wii console. Developers big and small are invited to create software that makes use of the properties and functions of the hardware. Nintendo DSiWare games and applications will be available at a range of values, starting at 200 points.
Games and Backwards Compatibility
In addition to downloadable games, Nintendo DSi is able to play games made specifically for the system and sold at retail. The system can also play most Nintendo DS games, and will have access to a library of more than 850 titles originally made for that system. As an example of the quality of games that DSi players can expect to see both from both Nintendo and third-party game developers, at the launch of the DSi Nintendo also released Rhythm Heaven. A wildly popular rhythm game in Japan, where it has sold nearly 2 million copies since its release in mid 2008, Rhythm Heaven features catchy tunes, charming characters, and a wide variety of rhythm games as it makes maximum use of the DSi's functionality.
Facebook
Nintendo DSi owners have even more ways to share their experiences with friends and family. Using an Internet-connected Nintendo DSi system and the Nintendo DSi Camera application, Facebook members can take pictures with either of the system's two cameras and upload their photos directly to their Facebook profile. While reviewing pictures they've stored in the Nintendo DSi Camera album, which includes photos taken by users and manipulated using the built-in interactive lenses, users can simply tap the Facebook icon on the system's touch screen to instantly transmit photos to the user's Facebook profile. The user's system must be configured to a wireless broadband Internet connection for the transmission of photos.
What's in the Box
Each DSi comes complete with: one Nintendo DSi System, one Nintendo DSi stylus, one Nintendo DSi AC power adapter, an easy start guide, manuals (basic and controls) and a support booklet.

I ordered the White DSi bundle pack on Black Friday. Good price but haven’t recieved the accessories that were suppose to make it a “bundle” package. Amazon makes it impossible to get in touch with customer service. There are no numbers in plain site to call and fix the problem. There was no indication that the order was split into two separate shipments or that anything was on backorder. I finally found a way to email them, hopefully someone at Amazon will read this review and contact me about when I can expect the rest of my “bundle” pack.
Amazon…you need to make the customer service more accessible. This clicking through webpage after webpage is ridiculous. You should have a 800 number visible on EVERY page of your site so people can call and get problems fixed in a timely manner. This is the SECOND time I’ve had issues. The other time was when I tried to cancel an order in less that 12 hours of placing it. I emailed the vendors as your site indicates. Your site says any order that hasn’t shipped can be cancelled. I guess the vendors chose to ignore my request to cancel the order and sent them anyway. It’s criminal.

We received the package in a day for my son and it is suppose to be new. Not only did the package come with only one peice of tape on it (we were lucky it was still in there) the blox itself had no shrinkwrap around it so I have no idea if what I am suppose to get for my son is actually in there. Poorly packaged for alot of money. It was suppose to be a new packaged bundle.

Ok so out of curiosity I wanted to see if I could have gotten a better deal here than at GameStop for this DSi bundle . . . HA! At GameStop the bundle only cost me $169.99 w/o tax. Sure I had to hunt down a store that still had at least one in stock but gosh doing that sure saved me a lot of money!

Naughty Nintendo:
Ordered two of the Nintendo DSi consoles for our boys. Opened on Christmas only to find that one worked fine and the other did not work at all. One boy is happy, one boy is crying. Mom and Dad are furious. These were necessary replacements for the DS lites that they received last year for Christmas. They needed replacement because the screens were scratched and broken despite purchasing screen protectors every two months. C’mon Nintendo…isn’t Japan supposed to be famous for quality control and quality products? I think not. Shame on you for the first time, shame on us for the second time…there will NOT be a third time.
