Nintendo has announced that they are dropping the price of the DSi and DSi XL handhelds in September, likely as a way to slowly clear our inventory before the eventual launch of the 3DS.
Starting on September 12th, the DSi will drop to $149.99 and the large XL will drop to $169.99.
The 3DS will give gamers a chance to watch 3D movies and play 3D games without the need for any special glasses.
Nintendo released the DSi XL last year, introducing the handheld with 93 percent larger screens than the DSi allowing for easier playback of movies and easier Internet surfing.

According to security company McAfee, actress Cameron Diaz is used most often as malware bait, with search strings using her name having a ten percent chance of coming up with an infected site.
Dave Marcus, McAfee’s director of security research and communication says searching for “Cameron Diaz and screensavers” increases that rate to 20 percent.
McAfee, as it has done since 2007, compiled the search phrases containing names of celebrities, athletes and politicians trying to calculate the percentage of sites that are tagged as dangerous.
Diaz surpassed Jessica Biel, last year’s “champion,” who fell to third place. Julia Roberts took second, while Gisele Buendchen and Brad Pitt rounding out the list.
“It’s a simple fact. The bad guys read the same news as the good guys,” said Marcus.
Marcus also explained why Diaz jumped so high, as the McAfee list was composed during the month where two of her films were in theaters, “Knight and Day” and “Shrek Forever After.”
Phishers and attackers use the names to trick unsuspecting users into visiting malicious sites, which then installs malware on their computers.
