"A Neowin forumite has produced what he claims to be a picture of a document faxed from a friend who works at Mandarake Galaxy, detailing a Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days/DSi bundle for Q2 of next year -- which is after the just-announced February release date for 358/2 Days. But that's not the really interesting bit -- in fact, we fully expect such a bundle will show up.

No, the interesting bit, which makes us fully doubt this, is that according to his translation, the bundle will include not only 358/2 Days, but Chain of Memories as well -- and that the included DSi will include Game Boy Advance compatibility.

Due to the quality of the picture, we can't make out a lot of the kanji, but we can clearly see mentions in katakana of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and the Game Boy Advance. Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is written out too, but not correctly. It doesn't matter what it says, in the end, because this is a picture of a page some guy typed. "

Could be fake, but you never know with these things...
EDIT:

Here is a snipet from an article on the same subject but posted on QJ

"According to the translation, Square Enix and Nintendo will be releasing a limited edition DSi sometime during the second quarter of next year. It's going to be a Kingdom Hearts bundle. Ok, not surprising, right? Considering that KH: 358/2 Days will be released soon, a DSi bundle sounds reasonable.

With that said, let's dig deeper, shall we? Here's what the bundle will have:

* a copy of Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
* a copy of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
* a silver DSi that has Gameboy Advance backwards compatibility

"Wait, what? I thought the GBA slot was taken out of the DSi?" Yep, my initial reaction exactly. Could this GBA-capable DSi be for real? And if so, why are they bundling Chain of Memories with it? Just because its from the same series? May be... however, it could also hint at something even more profound.

Remember how, in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, you can insert a GBA cartridge of Aria of Sorrow and get the Rare Ring? Maybe Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days will have that same sort of function with Chain of Memories in the GBA slot? Ooh, the plot thickens..."

Yeah, maybe some sort of peripheral for the specific game (Kingdom Hearts) - but the DSi itself WILL NOT have a GBA Slot.

It's being released in Japan in 15 days, do you think they're really making hardware changes right now?

Well, the bundle is supposed to be released in February - they won't make hardware changed now, but like JPH said, they might add some sort of peripheral?

Or maybe they'll do something like they did with that Megaman GBA game that was ported to the DS?

Maybe the DS cartridge will have Chain of Memories on it, but only with the bundled version.

Or maybe this guy just printed text off his computer and took a photo?

Or there would be a sort os weird wifi wireless thingy to interact with the GBA cart.

Actually,
I think some guy printed out text and snapped a photo. Now hes just talking crap. The proof he has? A picture of words supporting his statement. Weak.
