Hacking Dsi Japan or Dsi Europe?

[Jhonyb]

Hello

Im currently in japan but im unsure about buying a dsi in japan. What is the difference between the dsi from japan and the dsi from europe since im from europe.
Pls a kind soul reply pls

well for starters, japanese system only has the japanese language

well in japan the DSi comes in 3 other colors including...
Lime-Green
Blue
Pink

I got a green one and it works great. So i say get one from japan.

 

[jan777]

i would also like to get that green one but, im fed up with japanese since i got my japanese wii

so ill settle for something that has english cause dsi cases will likely be available in the near future, i suppose

if you have a japanese dsi you can only access the japanese nintendo shop channel, so download only japanese games, and your dsi only has japanese language options.
so if you don't mind having only japanese stuff on it than it's probably worth a buy cause you get stuff much earlier. the european dsi shop channel only has about 6 games plus web browser on it :/
but you'd need japanese points if you want to buy stuff on it, so consider that!

There are two downsides:

You have to use the Japanese DSi Shop, and games there are only in Japanese
You will have to have the DSi in Japanese, because you cannot change the language.

So why bother getting on in Japan? Thats just silly.

I think not, read the other answers;
-different colours
-dsi shop items much earlier

So it isn't silly, it's a choice

Would be a choice if i understood japanese

Ty for the quick answers but ill buy it in europe

No? It is still silly. Why bother playing games if you cannot understand them.
AND you can buy DSi replacement cases that look exactly like the JAP DSi ones.

If you don't mind the Japanese, then go ahead.
