Product Description

Colour: Red | Edition: Standard Edition

Manufacturer's Description

The Nintendo DSi is the third model of the Nintendo DS platform, following Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite, and Nintendo has developed Nintendo DSi with the aim to further expand the Nintendo DS audience.Some typical functions include the ability to change the pitch and the speed separately by using the touch screen. The ability to freely manipulate the audio pitch and the speed can expand how the audio player can be used in more practical ways as well. You can fast-forward a podcast to economize the time. When you use the repeat-run function with the stylus, it becomes easier to copy the music, to play a musical instrument or to practice foreign languages.Also, since Nintendo DSi has a microphone, Nintendo is incorporating the DSi sound function to make use of it. Nintendo DSi has internal memory, just like Wii. After storing the data there, you can choose to activate this data from the menu screen.

Product Description

The evolution of the Nintendo DS system continues with Nintendo DSi. The Touch Screen technology, Wi-Fi functionality and voice recognition capabilities of the Nintendo DS and DS Lite remain, with exciting new additions to expand the experience. Two cameras, downloadable Nintendo DSiWare and the ability to play your favourite music via SD cards make it easy to apply your own personal touch to your Nintendo DSi, no matter where you are. And with larger screens, built-in internet browsing capabilities and an even slimmer design, the Nintendo DSi redefines gaming on the go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 16 Nov 2009
By 
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I bought this for my son for his 11th birthday. He already had a DS lite but wanted to upgrade so I said if he could sell his DS Lite then I would get him the new DSi. He sold the Lite on eBay!! We have had so much fun with the camera and "facewarp" facility. Before buying the DSi I wasn't convinced that it was such a good buy as the only difference between the DSlite and the DSi was the camera but would now fully recommend the DSi just for the laughs we have had. My older son (aged 14) has had enormous fun with the voice recorder because he does impersonations of people and then plays them back - you can speed it up or slow it down and it is very, very funny. Go on buy one!!

The colour is awesome too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Awsome..., 4 April 2009
By 
David Vick (Buckinghamshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I have forever looked at the DS Lite's title screen and felt disappointed about how little it could do. Now, the DSi has everything you ever wanted.

Hardware:
The DSi is a bit longer and a bit thinner, but you wouldn't notice. The matte finish is much better than the glossy finish of the DS Lite, as there will be no more finger prints, but it is prone to becoming dirty. The screens are 0.25 inches bigger, which may not sound like a lot, but it is definitely noticable when you step from the DS lite to the DSi. There is no more GBA slot, but that doesn't really matter. The volume controls are now buttons, which is much better for keeping sound quiet in public areas, but not so much so that YOU can't hear it. There is now a power button on the inside that can also return to the menu. The speakers are better and louder when you want it. There is a 0.3 MP camera next to the microphone on the inside of the hinge and one on the outside. The stylus is longer and fatter. There is an SD Card slot aswell for photos and music. Internally, there is a faster processor which games in the future will utilise.

Software:
The Wii-like menu looks very nice and is easy to use. Game cards can now be hotswapped (changed without having to turn off the system). The DSi Shop allows you to download games or DSiWare, of which there are inceasing numbers all the time, as well as the brilliant, free DSi Web Browser, which is much faster and better than expected, but cannot run Flash unfortunately. When you first log on the the DSi Shop, you get 1,000 free points (offer until march 2010 I think).

The DSi camera is only 0.3 MP, but that is enough for use on the console. There are some fun effects you can add too like Distortion Lens, Colour Pad, Mirror etc. The camera has face recognition for some effects, and there will be DSi exclusive games coming out in the future that use this feature. DSi Sound is another good program, allowing you to record sounds and play with them. More importantly, music on the SD card can be played with some fun equaliser graphics, and be slowed down and speeded up if, say, it was a learn a language CD and you wanted to slow the words down. I takes AAC files which means that you can put on your iTunes collection (but you must convert it in iTunes first). There your old favourites too: Picto Chat and DS Download Play. And remember, there is a huge library of great DS games, that this will still play (except Guitar Hero due to the GBA slot)

Overall:
This is a great console. If you have already have a DS Lite, it is a little expensive to upgrade, and I would wait to the prices come down. If not, i would fully recomend it and say that it is better than the iPod Touch and PSP.

5.0 out of 5 stars NDSi Hand Held Console (Red), 29 Dec 2009
By 
David John Hodgson "pongping" (York, England) - See all my reviews

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Nintendo DSi Handheld Console (Red) (Video Game)
It is a winner from the start. Both educational and gaming software make this, yet again, the must have console of the year. This is the second NDS I have purchased, the previous one having reached the end of its life (bottom screen failed and replacement was impossible to fit due to blowing fuses constantly during the fitting process) so the simple thing to do is to buy a new one so thats what I did.
Hours of fun and I reckon this one has already paid for itself since Christams Day. Nice colour too.
