Today Nintendo announced the new revision of the DS. A revamped version of the popular portable gaming device that features a built-in Web browser, larger screens, and two integrated cameras. In addition, Nintendo plans to launch an online store called the DSi Shop on Nov 1st in Japan, where it will sell for about $180.
Among the new features is a 3.25-inch screen, compared with the DS's 3-inch screen; and two 0.3 megapixel cameras, one inside of the DSi case and the other on the outside. In addition, the device has a slot for an external SD memory card up to 2 GB, and is thinner and lighter than the DS.
The DSi Shop will sell games and software that users can download over Wi-Fi connection. The shop bases prices on Nintendo Points. Products cost 0, 200, 500, or 800 points. The DSi comes bundled with 1,000 points, which are good until March 2010.
