Amazon has the Nintendo DSi priced at $149 right now for black, pink or blue. You get a $20 Amazon store credit added to your account within 2 days- so the net price is $129.
This ships for free and should arrive Tuesday!
If you prefer the DS Lite, it is priced at $129 for the metallic rose, crimson, or cobalt with a $20 promotional credit back. So the net price is $109 and this will also ship for free and arrives on Tuesday!
You will want to look for the reference to the $20 bonus right in the center of the screen for whichever game you select. If you don’t see this note, the offer has likely ended. (One reader that ordered the Playstation said her credit was applied within a day of ordering.)
I am SO bummed, literally bought this last week,and I could have gotten the $20 card. I guess its a gamble either way. :o( Thank you for you blog!! You have helped us save some bucks!
Toy ‘R Us has a $20 gift card on the DS Lite this week also. And, if you’re lucky, you may find a DS Lite at Radio Shack for $75. (They put them on clearance last week, but most stores are sold out.)
Liz- I posted the Radio Shack 2 weeks ago. Have they been reduced again? I would think almost every store would be sold out by now.

What is the difference between DSi and DS Lite?
Megan, Here are the results from Google it looks like there is a very simple answer from Nintendo and there is a more detailed You Tube video at the bottom:

Yes, most Radio Shacks are sold out. I happened to find a DS Lite this weekend that had been exchanged for a DSi. There were a few scattered through stores this past weekend. They’re hard to find without actually trying a store. The website gets updated using day old data, therefore you don’t get an accurate picture without going into a store.
