So this is the box that Japan is going to get. Things to note are the shiny plastic wrap around the box, and how very plain and business clean it looks. It doesn’t even look like a fun handheld to me anymore.

DSi Box so very white and plain…

It looks exactly like the DS Lite boxes except the picture isn't a close-up and is at a straight angle. :\
Little, white, different…..
Who buys a console based on the looks of the box? I'd wanna open that baby up and get playing, shove the box into a cupboard somewhere! (which just happens to be exactly what I did with the Gamecube, DS, DS Lite and Wii boxes!)
I dunno there is more than enough space to put some DS game pics on there, even some Mario. If you look at the new Wii Boxes, they feature Wii Spots pictures on the front of the box.
@Damien: That's because Wii Sports is bundled with the console. Besides, putting game screens would ruin the sleek, simple look Nintendo is going for with the DS(Lite, i).
Nintendo DS Chocolates??
I didn't know the DSi was going to go stale if it wasn't wrapped in shrink wrap.
It's taken the WIi boxart approach.
The only thing the boxes are important for? Packaging and serial numbers. Seriously. When the barcode on your system peels and fades, and your DS Lite's hinge cracks off, what do you do? Get the frickin box, check the serial code, and call Nintendo and whine about it.
10 bussiness days later… Voila! Replacement system at no charge to you, especially if you've got a warranty.
…That sounded so nerdy.
its actually cool that in the states we can wait for this baby. by the time it comes, we will have a crapload of exclusive games for the DSi. as of right now, there aren't many apps or games available that will use the new features of the DSi. might as well play with the old ds lite. but by this time next year, there's going to be a lot of things to do on that baby.
Good point Ac(DC?)
Hmm lokks Wii ish. Needs Mario, Link, DK, and Samus on the front.
I think it needs Miyamoto on the front.
AC's got a point. I didn't see that until now. A boatload of DLC and new games. This might get DSi doubters thinking about upgrading.
…I still don't wanna wait though.
@ Lite
I agree… I don't want to wait for the DSi to come to North America. I am so mad at Nintendo for zoning it.
Man… That is ridiculous.
I actually dislike the box for the system, but I never keep the boxes. I never have to send my systems in for repairs. But I think that Nintendo is holding back so that they can build the DSi library for exclusive games and DLC so as to not have a crappy launch.
BUt I will get one because of the possibility of having a virtual gameboy/gamegear/any portable non sony system. I am excited about that, so many old gameboy games I never got to play, now on the DSi. That's awesome.
