They get white, plus a better shade of blue? And they got the system like 6 months earlier? I know they're a Japanese company, but so is Sony, and they don't play favorites. Whatever, though. I'm just happy the DSi is coming out in America at all.

It's not playing favourites, it's trying to stay on top. DS sales in Japan stagnated so they had to introduce the DSi. If Americans would slow up on buying DSs a bit, you'd see the DSi there in a flash.

I'm cool with the US blue... but that one is much better. Sucks that DSi are region coded...

only the store is. The unit itself isn't for games.

"only the store is. The unit itself isn't for games."

Might as well be the whole thing than. The only good reason for buying a DSi is the new store.

Retail DS/Lite games that take advantage of DSi features, and DSi-only retail games will also be region locked.

There haven't been any announced DSi-enhanced/DSi-only retail games, though. So, that's a non-issue.

More paralysing news. I'll be over in Japan during April. I'm very tempted to give in to a DSi.
My Japanese is pretty good but maybe not up to the store games. I'm constantly worried that if I get a DSi from any region then a killer app (Like Skype or some such) will come out in one of the others.

Erm, the DSi is being released outside of Japan in April as well.

but not in such nice colours. Also, depending on the way the currency is about to shift, it might be cheaper in Japan.
The point is, it's just as easy for me to get a Japanese system as it is for me to get a european one. The only deciding factor is what's on the service. As we've all seen on the Wii, sometimes Japan gets the advantage there. Also, that lime green looks nice.

The blue looks really nice - I always liked the Enamel Navy Lite as well, and was disappointed it was never released in Europe. I might pick this up when I'm in Japan later this year. I'll only be able to use the store for the ten months that I'm over there, but if I get a DSi when they're released in Europe, I won't be able to use the store in Japan either, so there are disadvantages whatever I choose.
