DSi Thinking about picking up a brand new DS? You may want to hold off for a bit longer, as Nintendo just announced plans to drop the suggested retail price on both the DSi and DSi XL beginning September 12.

In just under two weeks you'll be able to snag a DSi for $149.99 (instead of $169.99). Its beefier cousin, the DSi XL, will also be dropping from $189.99 to $169.99. Oddly enough, the DS Lite's MSRP is to remain unchanged at $129.99.

It's nice to see Nintendo's handhelds becoming slightly more affordable, but how many of you are actually going to bite when the 3DS is just over the horizon?
