Walmart Offers Tens of Thousands of Nintendo DSi consoles for Preorder

Walmart.com announced yesterday that it was offering preorders on tens of thousands of Nintendo DSi portable game consoles. The portable console is the newest game system from Nintendo and set to launch in April.

Walmart isn’t the only company offering the DSi for preorder; Amazon and GameStop are as well. However, neither of the other two locations has promised "tens of thousands" of the systems will be available.

Walmart is selling the DSi for the same $169 as the other places. Nintendo fans can also catch some deals on Wii games and accessories with some game titles for the Wii selling at two for $30. "Walmart.com has made tens of thousands of Nintendo DSi units available for preorder, giving more customers the chance to enjoy one of the most sought-after handheld consoles in history," said Kelly Thompson, Walmart.com's chief merchant. "Customers continue to choose Walmart.com to find the best online selection and strongest values in video games, especially for popular releases like the Nintendo DSi."
