I have returned from the midnight launch of the Nintendo DSi and I present to you a video unboxing and hands on impressions of Nintendo's latest hardware platform. Does the DSi live up to the hype? How does the DSi compare to the original DS, the iPhone or the Sony PSP? For answers to these questions and more check out my hands on impressions in this video blog, I hope you enjoy!

Good video - DSi does look pretty sweet... it it heavier or lighter than the PSP/ DSlite?

I expected you to have a 'fro after a comment you made about your Wii Avatar on a previous Uncle Gamer! smilies/cheesy.gif

Im definitely keeping my DS lite. The DSi looks cheaper. I dont like the matte look. I like the glossy finish of the lite. Yeah the screen is a little bigger, but I dont have any confidence in nintendo making games that people already bought on wii-ware compatible for the DSi. So right there people with a large library have to spend even more Nintendo points to buy old ass games. See taking out the gameboy slot was really smart by Nintendo cause now gamers will pass the used gameboy games in gamestop which are probably cheaper than the Dsi downloads. Now i dont konw if this is confirmed or not but if Nintendo does full DSi downloads this might combat piracy but I dought they will split the 10-20% audience thats going to use the download feature.

I must say Parris,u've really peaked my interest in picking one of these babies up. I really like the matte look to be honest, god knows i hate smears and smudges on the DS Lite, and this would solve my "clean" obsession. Overall, great job, you may have sold me on a (not so shiny) DSi.

I have to admit I am very impressed with the DSi so far, once again Nintendo knows how to what seems like a few mediocre additions into a quality product that is worth the price tag.

I haven't had a DS since I sold my DS fat on eBay about 2 years ago. I think this is what will get me back into DS gaming.

Great video Parris, but damn, it looks like you thought your PSP was an iPhone. The PSP screen has more finger prints than the LAPD.smilies/grin.gif

My daughters birthday on the 23rd. She wants another DS after giving hers to her younger brother when she got a PSP last b'day (she never really got into it). I thought I would just get her the Lite but after seeing you vid I have just got to get her the DSI. I'm a sucker for gadgets and it will be my excuse to check it out! lol. I think she would really love the camera. smilies/cheesy.gif

OMG now i'm geeking out, i really want this thing cause i sold my original DSlite which was half busted to someone for $100 bones (ya i know im a theif). But that was a year ago and now i want me some chinatown wars. All because of this video, now i got to find $170 to throw away thanks parris, haha jk. but really, should i spend the money on this or a 120gb hard drive for my 360???

Good job on the video. I liked how you compared the size of it to the other items. I never had an original DS, so seeing it next to the iPhone and PSP helped me see the actual size of it. The only portable that I have had is the PSP, and it has been sitting for quit a while. I never was that big in to the portable games.( I've played a few on my iPod touch.) So I'm not sure if I'll pick the DSi for myself. I guess it would depend on the price or if I could get Peggle for it.

Mmmmmmmmmm....Peggle. :-)

I have two DS lites. And now I want this too. And Paris, never reading the instructions isn't just a guy thing. Nothing is more painful than reading instructions.
