This is one of those “OK yeah duh of course they’re gonna do this now” moments. A scanned Best Buy ad from their Black Friday deals reveals two DSi bundles for $169: a white DSi with three  Brain Age Express titles, Clubhouse Games and Photo Clock and a dark metallic blue DSi with Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!, WarioWare: Snapped, Dr. Mario Express, Mario Calculator and Mario Clock.

While the bundles don’t have the right games in the right combination for my tastes (I’d prefer Brain Age, Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again, and Dr. Mario Express in one kit) this still could be a killer deal for the right person. At the very least it one of the first moves in a new (very welcome) era of cartridge-free gaming. Could one day all the major consoles include a game…already downloaded and ready to go? It’d save the materials and the financial risk of printing games that might not ultimately sell, so there’s definitely a benefit from a publisher’s point of view. And I already have to stack milk crates in my living room (you didn’t think that was for aesthetics, did you?) just to have room for all my games. I for one welcome our new cartridge-free overlords.
