A month or two ago, I met the lovely Susan of Transient Travels at a BlogHer get-together and we instantly hit it off. We’ve been keeping in touch via email and I recently received an invitation to attend a Girlfriends Guide to Gaming party in Boston to check out the new Nintendo DSi, the newest high-powered version of  Nintendo’s handheld video game system.

We had a fabulous time! Not only did we enjoy free-flowing champagne, snacks, amazing chocolate chip cookies and excellent company, but we each left with our very own DSi handheld game.

Here is a list of 13 of my favorite things about DSi.

1. It was FREE!
2. It came with Rhythm Heaven and 1,000 game credits that I used to download Suduko and Brain Waves.
3. It has two cameras – one on the outside and one on the inside to take pictures of you or those around you.
4. It has 11 different types of camera lenses to take fun and silly pictures.
5. It has WIFI! That’s right kids. You can hook right into any available wifi signal.
6. You can download a browser for free and surf the internet!
7. You can connect to other DSi users close by to chat, exchange drawings and play games together.
8. You can listen to your own music on an SD card inserted into the DSi port.
9. It’s slim and small and has a matte case which resists fingerprints and smudges.
10. It fits in my coach wristlet.
11. The battery last a long, long time and comes with a plug for recharging.
12. Not one, but two stylus pens because your bound to lose at least one.
13. Did I mention it was FREE?

Do you have a Nintendo DSi or another handheld game?
What’s your favorite game?
