Topic: Pokémon Black and White DSi Bundles Coming to North America

The special edition DSi units match the color of the game they're bundled with, and are etched with legendary Pokémon.

Special edition Nintendo DSis, bundled with Pokémon Black or Pokémon White will be released with the games on on March 6, the same day as the release date for the games. 

Retailing at $179.99 (the DSi's regular retail price is $149.99 without a game), the black DSi will come with Pokémon Black and the white DSi with Pokémon White. The top of both units will be etched with the two legendary Pokémon of the upcoming titles: Reshiram and Zekrom.

Pokémon Black and White features video chat when played in a DSi or DSi XL. Voice chat is available across the DS family of systems.

This is so smart finically and so wrong ethically.

If I needed a DSi, this would be nice since I would save $5. But I have a DSi and don't plan to buy a new system just because it's special edition (although I know at least one poster here who would).

This is one of the least worthwhile bundles Nintendo have released, since it saves only $5.

Haven't most Nintendo DS/DSi bundles been released at what the retail cost of buying the system/game together would be? $5 off seems like a deal.

[TJ Spyke]

Some have, some haven't. The Mario & Luigi bundle saved you $35 because you got the DSi and a copy of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story for the same price as the system itself. The Mario Kart DS bundle saved you $15.

The real detraction to this is that I would recommend just getting the 3DS to play the game on unless you really want these special edition DSi's.
