Nintendo DSi Matte Blue Console

$229.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i got the original nintendo ds for the christmas following its launch and i liked it a lot.
from www.amazon.com
unlike the ds lite and semi-like the original ds, the dsi boasts a sleek matte finish that gives it a smooth and fingerprint-resistant exterior.
from www.amazon.com
please note that seeing how i don't own a ds lite, i'm comparing the dsi in this review to the original ds (or as i call it, the ds tank).
from www.amazon.com
if it were the same price as the original ds, there would be no reason for anyone to not have the dsi.
from www.amazon.com
it's important to note that the dsi uses a different type of charger than the original ds, so the two aren't interchangeable.

the backlight is a massive advance (groan) over the original gba and the new colours look excellent, plus it's genuinely portable.
