I picked mine up today. Haven't tried using any Card on it yet. I am enjoying the bigger screen, just want to get a nice case and screen protector for it.

Did anyone here pick up one of these things today?
I heard the Acekard doesn't work for American models and only works for the Japanese & European Models.
Any news about which card is going to work? How about the CycloDS card?Last edited by darkprince; Apr 6th, 2009 at 01:40 AM. Reason: typos

According to our fellow rfder lazychild, all the dsi cards works on the DSi, since he has picked up his pre-order today and tried out all the DSi cards.

Apr 5th, 2009 08:34 PM #7I don't believe they are region free. DSi games will be region locked, and you can only access the Japanese marketplace. Originally Posted by ken_

My local Wal-Mart had a bunch on display today, there were alot of blue units which makes my wonder why Nintendo chose such an odd colour. Was able to play around with a demo unit
-matte top is nice
-weighs more than I thought it would compared to lite, possibly heavier
-the bigger screens are good
-dpad feels same but the buttons are less recessed and more clicky
-cameras no better than cell phone
-199 price point is not hot
so you're basically paying a premium for bigger screens + camera, it doesn't feel any smaller/lighter than the lite, ill probably stick with my lite until it breaks down before i upgrade Reply With Quote

However, CycloDS has yet made any announcement on their 'CycloDSi' card. We will keep everyone updated on these as well.
But for now, have fun! Reply With Quote

One interesting thing, which I haven't heard anyone mention. Is that the DSi supports WPA network security. Sure, it's probably not that big of a deal for most, but it's an awesome upgrade for people using wireless for other devices and don't want to use the crap WEP. Also nice for WiFi browsing on the go!

WPA is a big deal. I wouldn't touch anything without WPA support.

If I own a Dsi would I be able to play DSi software from other regions via the Mod Cards ?
Yes it will support WPA/WPA2

Another good thing for buying Nintendo DSi early is that...
we can get the DSi shop channel for free if we log in before October 2009 or something like that.
Correct me if I am wrong. Reply With Quote
