DSi sold out in Japan, also resizes boobs photo

We weren't too impressed by Nintendo's DSi. The last thing we need is another camera in our pocket, and the decision to region-lock the system sent us over the edge. Japanese gamers want one, though. In fact, none of the initial shipment are on shelves now.

The reason behind the pictures of the Japanese electronics stores with no DSi queues you'd see on those other blogs is that they were all sold via pre-sale. TechRadar says the initial allocation of 200,000 is gone in Japan. They say that 100,000 are to ship this week, but I'd guess that those were also pre-sold.

If you don't care about region-locking and really need to get a Japanese DSi, Siliconera points to a scalper who has 50 Nintendo DSi listed on Yahoo Auctions. I agree with them that eBay is the way to go if you really want one. The importers are crazy with their $300 asking price. 

As for the promised boob resizing, you'll have check it out after the jump.

Mild, but possibly NSFW:

Thanks to the always wonderful Canned Dogs (we're fans over at Japanator),  we have this video from Nico Nico Douga showing the DSi camera put to good use. With a simple photograph of a busty female (or female image), you can fiddle with breast sizes to your heart's delight using the DSi's built-in photo editing features.

Just what's needed to feed Nintendo's hubris and fill their wallets. Great.

If the DSi can do that, I guess I need to buy one immediately!

My wife is already a 38DD. Modifying a picture's boobs doesn't cut it. :P

Anyway, I think that I need to get a regular DS before Nintendo attempts to replace them with this PoS.

even with boob sizing, I don't think I'm sold at all. I'm really surprised that it did so well.

"and the decision to region-lock the system sent us over the edge"

The only thing on the DSi that's regoin locked is the DSiWare software. All the retail games are still region free which when you think about it makes sense. Because all the other downloadable services are region locked as well from XBLA to PSN to WiiWare. So why would the DSiWare be any different?
