Hey, just wondering if anyone knows when we are supposed to receive the worlds special edition DSIs in the mail. Not a big deal or concern, just curious!!!
Thanks,
Seb

they made a special dsi for worlds?
DS and DS Lite are not region coded, only the DSi.The DS is region locked? I'm playing englisch games on my german one all the time ?_?
Keep in mind, the DSi is region coded. There's no way that we could know in advance how many would be needed from each region, especially since Europe has several different packouts, based on what country you live in. So, factor in time to buy them, ship them to the vendor for customization, time for the vendor to customize them, time for the vendor to ship them to TPCi, time for TPCi to match up the correct player with the correct DSi and time for them to ship to you.
It was easier last year with the DS Lite, because it isn't region coded, so we could simply have them all made in advance.
Also, there's slightly more than just adding the Worlds logo to the DSi. The top is a metalic-y blue that is similar to the retail blue that is available in the US and Japan, but not as flat of a color. The bottom is a metalicy/pearly white that is similar to the retail white that is available in Europe and Japan, but not as flat of a color. You won't find a two-tone DSi like that at retail, and the colors are much richer than you'll find on a retail unit. The DSi will definitely stand out from others.

I believe this is your answer.Any definitive answer, or even just an estimate of when they'll arrive for most people?
The forms we signed said approximately six weeks, so probably before the end of September? I hope so.
Did they show a picture of this "Exclusive" DSi?
Interestings....a regular DSi w/different colors and (maybe) stickers.....but free? Sure, why not.
