Just what exactly is a Nintendo DSi?
The Nintendo DSi is the third iteration of the Nintendo DS. The original Phat launched in Australia in 2005 and was superseded by the Lite in June 2006. Although the basic hardware is the same as the systems before it, the DSi has received several new hardware additions as two VGA cameras, music player, and SD card slot. Software has also seen several improvements but some features have been removed. The DSi also has a redesigned casing and a new matte plastic finish. The removals and additions to the DSi are addressed in depth in our FAQ below.
