Nintendo cutting DS prices by $20; DSi to retail for $149, DSi XL for $169
Nintendo is trimming the prices of its handheld gaming systems, taking $20 off the suggested retail prices of the DSi and DSi XL
. Effective September 12, the DSi will retail for $149.99, and the DSi XL will sell for $169.99 (the DSi's current price). The DS Lite
will keep its $129.99 price tag and stay on the market, giving us backwards-compatibility-lovers a GBA cartridge port at the expense of DSiWare.
Now, the big question is... who doesn't have a DS yet? Over 130 have been sold worldwide, making it one of the most popular portable gaming systems ever made. Yes, in just 6 years, the DS (and all its iterations) has sold more units than the original Game Boy.
