Read into this what you will, but Renchi has slashed the price of a Japanese Nintendo DSi by $50 or, as its press release states (because it sounds more impressive), 17%. You can now pick one up there for $249.99. Fifty bucks is a generous cut, and makes the idea of buying a DSi a little more palatable. Unless you've already bought one for more than that, which just makes it annoying. Sorry.
For the record, Play-Asia and YesAsia still have the systems advertised at the laugh-out-loud price of $300. We'd wager that those sites will follow Renchi's example soon.
