Walmart.com will definitely brighten up the day of any video game fan by offering preorders for the upcoming Nintendo DSi console. Regardless of how many zillions of DSis that Walmart stocks, they will still sell it for $169 a pop, so don’t expect it to come any cheaper compared to other stores. According to Kelly Thompson, Walmart.com’s chief merchant, “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. 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.” As usual, you are able to choose from black and blue finishes only, but that’s just because Nintendo hasn’t made other colors available – yet.
