Wii: http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Hardware-Bundle-Red-Nintendo/dp/B0045FEEAS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1288179464&sr=8-1

DSi: http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DSi-Bundle-Mario-Kart-DS/dp/B0045FCK68/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1288179695&sr=8-1

Both ship November 7th. DSi comes bundled with Mario Kart DS, Wii comes bundled with New Mario. The DSi has the classic power-ups etched on it, the Wii doesn't seem to. The Wii also still has the same shitty 512 MB on internal memory that was inexcusable at launch, and really should have been upped for this special edition.

Also, while other regions get their Wii loaded with a special 25th anniversary of the original SMB, North America seems to be getting fucking over. Also, why package with the anniversary systems with best-selling games? These are clearly collector's items for Wii and DS, and enthusiasts already have those games.

Are they limited supply? Because I may buy a few of each, hoard them for awhile, and resale for an inflated price.

They're supposed to be, but who knows.

Well I definately wouldn't risk the DSi, not with the 3DS around the corner.

Yeah, I wonder who is still buying DSi's at this point with the 3DS launching in just a few months.

The DSi at least has stuff etched on it. Sure, it's not as cool as the NES Edition GBA SP, but at least it's something. The Wii is just a red Wii. There's no guarantee Nintendo won't keep producing red Wiis.

What makes no sense is the game packaged with the DSI.

The DSi looks kinda cool. Absolutely not worth it with the 3DS so imminent.

3DS is very good, and Wii U!

Sigh. Want for a bigger DSi is combating with the patience I need to wait for the 3DS and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.

Do they both come with a GBA slot?
