If you happen to be a Club Nitnendo member with “Platinum” status, you might be receiving a special e-mail invite to test drive the Nintendo DSi. Who knows if this is happening all around the US, but I got and invite to a GameStop somewhere in NYC. You are encouraged to bring one of your favorite games to see how it plays on the system.
I’m more interested in the unique applications the DSi has like the animation studio and the functionality of the camera. I already prereserved my spot for the event, so if anyone wants to know anything about the DSi let me know in the comments! I’ll see what I can muster up.
Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.
If you get a chance to test the browser it would be great to hear how good/bad it is.
Wow congrats for being invited. You'll have to tell us your impressions of the system. I'm counting down the days until the DSi. I'm really excited, having not owned a handheld since the GameBoy Color.
Do you guys have cases for your DS consoles? I really don't want it to get scratched up, but at the same time I'm not sure how durable they are…
Eh. If I didn't already own a DS Lite I might go for it but I don't think it's extra features are worth $180 or however much it is. I think I'll wait for a price cut, thank you very much.
I'm not a Platinum member. FUCK!!!
Hahaha. If I make it I'm totally bringing my R4. I wonder how they'd react.
Test out the cameras thoroughly, and maybe bring an SD card with different pictures and/or music to see how it handles them.
@gojiguy, R4 doesn't work on DSi
Man… I am a Platinum member, and I haven't gotten anything in my mail box.
I live in DC! Did anyone in DC get an invitation?
ooh! you gota see if the dsi has a mii channel! i heard they were adding one, no matter where i'll be, i want my mii character to be there to reign in terror!….untill…. i screw up…..and lose….. just like in mariokart wii 🙁
Attilo's right, no r4. Acekard is where it's at.
My podcast Villainy INC will also be at the event in Salt Lake City. Hopefully they'll allow us to record video so we can show people all the features!
…That's it?
I'm sorry, but a pre-test of the DSi for Platinum members isn't what I had in mind at all, and isn't for me (yeah, I reached Platinum status too). A disappointment for me at least.
