New DS Coming; Gutiar Hero World Tour Prices Announced

Nintendo announced last week that they are indeed working on a new iteration of the Nintendo DS called the DSi and will be released in Japan on November 1.

According to Gamespot's official report, the DSi will feature a 17% larger screen measuring 3.25 inches diagonally, a thinner design, two new cameras (one in front and one on the back), a new SD card slot, and an updated browser.

These additions could expand the possibilities of the DS by integrating new media via the SD card slots and new gameplay options with the two built-in cameras.

No official word on a European or state-side release.

Gamespot also reported that Guitar Hero World Tour will hit shelves on October 26 and will cost $189.99 for the complete bundle or $99.99 for a guitar-only version for the Xbox 360, PS3, or Wii and $89.99 for the PS2.

However RedOctane will also a deluxe bundle costing $239.99 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and $219.99 for the Wii and PS2. These bundles will include:

...the game software, a USB microphone, 5-pad drum kit with kick pedal, guitar and drum wireless receivers, two drumsticks, a Guitar Hero World Tour Guitar faceplate, sticker pack, guitar strap, T-Shirt (XL only), dual recharge kit, dual "gig bag," and Guitar Hero keychain.

The question is...is it worth it?

Also, why is the standard version on the Wii the same price as the Xbox 360 and PS3 while the bundle is $20 less?

Sounds like a waste of money for an already overpriced bundle.
