Gaming Wanting to buy Japanese DSi

[milkbot]

I want to get a lime green japanese DSi (I love the colour so much, lol. And it's 150 dollars cheaper than in the stores)
But I'd also like to be able to play DSiWare.
I don't particularly want to have to pirate english dsiware so I can play (if DSiWare games are pirateable at all), and would happily pay for it. But it seems that it is all region locked. Is there any way to unlock the region without pirating?


Thank you!

I want one of these myself. Where are you getting it from? As far as DSi ware goes, it's not there yet but it's only a matter of time at this point.

Is the one I'm looking at. I'd love one of the red or purple ones too, but I couldn't find any.
He's also got jap platinum and soul silver, but I've already got them in english =P

There is no pirating or modification of DSiware at all right now (in relation to running it).

I was thinking of getting a yellow shell for an XL. It would cost a lot more for me to import. I'm also holding off on buying one until the 3DS comes out. I hope by then they'll be some good sales.

This just made me suspicious. Rydian knows what I'm talking about.

Hmm.

Haha

I really would prefer to just be able to buy them though.

It wouldn't even be an issue if they released the lime green DSi in the west, or even perhaps didn't region lock DSiWare. =/




I guess I gotta weigh up my need to be unique and my want to play some of the sweet dsiware games that have come out LOL

 

[ringwurm1984]

why dont you just buy a dsi and get the lime green replacement case for it they're on ebay for 20 bucks

 

[milkbot]

Oh my god....
I hadn't even thought about that, thanks you ><

Just gotta find a cheap one now, thanks!

I think better original Japanese

 

[milkbot]

Oh dangit, now they specially relisted it for me at 210 and I feel like a jerk for not buying it.
Lol.

 

[Bonny]

I own a japanese DSi LL.

No matter where you live: You can ONLY connect to the japanese Dsi-Store! And ONLY buy japanese Dsi Ware. AND you need japanese Nintendo Points to do that!

Keep that in mind!
