Nintendo DSi, DSi XL price drops coming May 20
New retail prices of $100 and $130
Nintendo's DSi and DSi XL handhelds will soon be dropping in price, so that's pretty good news if you want a downgrade or know someone who does. We don't judge (I still have my black DSi.) or anything.
Starting May 20, the new pricing for each handheld will be $99.99 and $129.99 USD, for the DSi and XL, respectively. Let's just say $100 and $130, for simplicity's sake.
The price cuts are actually quite significant. Currently, the DSi retails for $150, while its larger counterpart is generally priced around $170. Obviously those will vary depending on where you look, but official stores in North America generally go by that standard.
Both systems come pre-loaded with Flipnote Studio, and the Nintendo DSi camera and Sound. The XL also has Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, Brain Age Express: Math and Photo Clock pre-installed.
