Nintendo DSi - Midnight Launch

It's been a wild week on MyDS with the launch of the DSi. We've gone crazy with the handheld, with our DSi "what you need to know" guide, our unboxing and review. In anticipation, we headed down to The Nintendo Experience at the Swanson St. EB Games Store in downtown Melbourne to be part of the Australian Nintendo DSi launch.

We arrive at The Nintendo Experience. It's jamming at 10pm!

We're greeted by a large Nintendo logo. We're in Nintendo heartland now!

There's plenty of DS products at The Nintendo Experience.

The crowd begins to line-up for their DSi.

The crowd extends round the corner...

...and around again.

The anticipation is building.

Inpatient consumers have to stare at the Nintendo DS logo while they wait and wait for their new DSi.

More signs. Those poor people!

Some lucky people get to test out their DSi's shortly after launch.

Those in attendance that pre-ordered their DSi (or the sneaky ones who didn't) got themselves a cool Nintendo DSi showbag with some awesome goodies.

So, there you have it. The DSi has finally been released in Australia (before the US of A!) and is now available across the country. Be sure to check out trade-in deals at retailers for the best deals.
