Nintendo DSi Offically Announced

Yeah, the rumors from last week were true. Today in Japan, Nintendo officially announced the Nintendo DSi, a revamped version of the DSLite, but without a GBA slot. The DSi will feature a larger 3.25 inch screen, two cameras that boast a resolution of 640x480 pixels (VGA) each, and unspecified audio enhancements, according to Wired. In addition to a new SD card slot, the DSi will feature built-in memory for the storage of games and pictures.

The DSi will have a built-in web browser, which can be used to access the DSWare Store, where gamers can download games to their SD card, with Nintendo Points (formerly Wii Points), where games can be bought for free, 200 Points, 500 Points, or 800 Points. In addition, anyone who accesses the DSWare Store before March 2010 will receive 1000 Points (worth $10 USD) free.

The DSi will be available for purchase on November 1st in Japan in both white and matte black colors for 18,900 Yen (about $180 USD), and sometime in Spring 2009 for the US.


Man, no GBA slot? Does that mean I can't play Guitar Hero: On Tour?

New Nintendo DS?

I just found out Nintendo will be coming out with a new version of the DS with, and I quote, "a camera, music playback and more modernized features, it will come to market in Japan this year at a price not far above the current model.", and the article goes on to say that it will be "under 20,000 yen" ($189 USD).

But FUCK YEAH!! Jack Thompson has officially been DISBARRED! [link] I'm not usually one to take this much pleasure out of the misfortune of others, and I respect Jack to some extent (he was sticking up for the morals that he chose to believe in), but seriously, does that guy just not know when to stop? Could he not tell that it was just a lost cause? I honestly don't understand how that man passed law school in the first place, if he really is as dumb as I believe him to be.
