Moderator Note: I will not restrict all discussions about the DS-i to this thread however, users are encouraged to use this thread instead of flooding the board with useless questions that can be simply answered here. If it gets out of hand, all discussion will be restricted to this thread ~ Soul13:39: Iwata takes the stage and immediately announces the Nintendo DS-i, the new version of DS.13:46: The size of the unit has been reduced by 12% and 2.6 millimeters -- and the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot is gone. 13:59: More from Gemaga. As the rumors indicated, the DSi has a larger screen, 3.25 inches. There's a camera, and an audio-playing function. The camera is... goodness. 300,000 pixels? Is that 3 megapixels? You can apparently edit pictures using the touch screen. When playing back sounds, you can adjust the pitch and the playback speed.14:00: There's an SD memory card slot so you can dump your pictures right to Wii's photo channel, for example14:04: Whoa, there's onboard memory apparently, so you can load it up with software... like games. You can download games. With Wii Points. Holy cow. Wii Points will be renamed 'Nintendo Points.' This just went from 'well, interesting' to 'must buy.'14:05: Nintendo DS web browser is built in.14:06: From the 'Nintendo DS Shop,' you can download 'Nintendo DS Ware.' Software will be split into four categories: Free, 200, 500, Premium (800). And until March 2010, you'll get a free 1000 points (1000 yen or $10) when you buy a DSi.14:10: The 'DS Station' download kiosks in Japanese stores will enter their 'second phase.' A new service called 'Nintendo Zone' will be started, which you can also use at McDonald's. (This must be the 'strengthened internet communication' that early reports from Nikkei discussed.)14:11: Nintendo DSi will be released in white and black color variations, and launch on November 1 for 18900 yen (about $180). Yes, they've just raised the price of Nintendo DS a second time. You knew it was coming.14:38: Gamasutra's Simon Carless instant messages to tell me that the camera in the DSi must be 640x480 resolution, because 640 times 480 equals 300,000 pixels.http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/10/liveblogging-th.html

I heard it has region protection. Does this mean I won't be able to play Ouendan 2 and Beautiful Kanji Training?

Soulreavercross, you may want to do something with the number of DS-i threads, as there is little point to have so many of them. I can imagine that they will increase once the DS-i hits the market this Saturday in Japan.
