The company announced the price cut recently. According to the new price list, the DSi will be sold for $149.99 and the DSi XL will be priced at $169.99.

Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales and Marketing Cammie Dunaway said, “We know shoppers want to get the maximum value out of every dollar they spend. Our new Nintendo DSi prices make it easier than ever for consumers to access the tremendous variety of games, applications and social tools on the Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DSi XL system.”
