GDC: 1000 DSi Points with DSi console News

DS News by Tom Bramwell

25 March, 2009

Nintendo has announced that European consumers will be given 1000 free Nintendo DSi Points (GBP 7.00 / EUR 10.00 approx) when they buy the new dual-screen handheld.

The offer runs for a limited time, and the points can be claimed and then redeemed by accessing the Nintendo DSi Shop.

Nintendo has not said how long the giveaway will last, but has said that the points will still be valid after the promotion ends.

The company did the same thing at the Japanese launch of the DSi and reportedly will repeat the trick in the US - and now Europe.

Nice. I suppose that'll blunt the price difference a little more :)

Does the DSi play imported original DS games?

This is something I'm not 100% clear about.

I'm sure it doesn't. Isn't it region-locked?

Yeah, only the DSi games are region locked. Well, until someone inevitably hacks it of course.

Nintendo don't really do the whole "global economy" thing, do they?

See what you've done Eurogamer? You've muddied the whole region locking waters on the DSi.
