spaceThat's right kids. The DSi is now live here in the states. For those of you who have been living under a rock for the
last several months, the new Nintendo DSI is more Nintendo-y than ever. The DSi comes with 2 cameras built in; one on the outside case to take pictures of friends andwhatnot, and one on the inside to make video chatting possible.

The DSi released yesterday, April 5th. If you have $170 kicking around, you might want to go see if you can find one. Knowing Nintendo's marketing strategies of the past however, (think Nintendo Wii availibility for the last 2 Christmas' in a row...) it might be a bit of a challenge.
