The DSi brings Nintendo’s product offering closer to what rival Sony has with its PSP portable system, which has an optional camera attachment, robust media playback functionality, and can download games to Memory Stick media. DSi will cost more than the DS Lite — 18,900 yen, or about $185 — and debut in Japan on November 1. Nintendo will release it outside Japan in 2009. Nintendo will hold a U.S. media briefing Thursday morning at 9 a.m. Pacific, where it is expected to provide more details on the U.S. launch plans for DSi. VIA [Wired]
