The Nintendo DSi is upon us, and the gaming world is in a state of utter frenzy once again. Nintendo’s newest handheld gaming superstar is a vast improvement over its predecessors, the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite. With a smaller, sleeker body (3mm thinner than the DS Lite), the Nintendo DSi also boasts the following exclusive features:
-Dual cam for a variety of applications;
-External memory storage for new data formats that the DSi can read and process;
-Better audio capabilities. The DSi’s music playback function can now rival the best MP3 players on the market today;
-Additional level of brightness added to dual screen;
-A more powerful processing engine, consisting of 16 MB of RAM compared to just 4 MB of its predecessors. In truth, the Nintendo DSi is a pretty nifty gaming machine.
But it’s not cheap.
With an SRP of $180, many people, including avid gamers, are quite hesitant to purchase the new Nintendo DSi. In this age of economic uncertainty where a global recession threatens every facet of our lives, $180 becomes even more.
Is the Nintendo DSi worth $180? Yes it is.
But can people afford $180 these days? That is the fundamental question.
For enterprising people, there are several ways to get a free Nintendo DSi unit. Here are some of them:
1. Join online contests. Most game companies, including Nintendo, ship console units to popular gaming websites. These gaming websites use the units for review purposes, but some of them prefer to capitalize on the marketing mileage that the popularity of the particular console can provide. They sponsor contests, be it an electronic raffle, a creativity-based competition, and the like, with the winner receiving the console the website received for free.
2. Earn easy money online and buy a Nintendo DSi. There are many ways to make a living on the World Wide Web. Find a drop shipper and help sell your products on popular outlets like eBay.com and Yahoo Auctions. Create your own digital product and sell it through affiliate networks like ClickBank.com. Find hot-selling products and help promote them for an incredible commission. Offer your services, whether it’s writing, programming, or your time doing menial tasks, for a fee. You’ll be amazed at the income potentials that are possible on the Internet. Eventually, you’ll have enough money to buy a Nintendo DSi, among other things.
3. Join an online game store affiliate program. Refer customers to said game store. As a reward, you can be paid with cash or store credits. Either way, if you earn enough, you can trade them in for a new Nintendo DSi.
As they always say, if there is a will, there is a way. Don’t let the recession ruin your dreams of owning a Nintendo DSi. With hard work and a bit of luck, you’ll be able to play the latest Fire Emblem game next week.
