Nintendo has been offering its slick new DSi portable game console for a while now and it has proven to be popular with mobile gamers. One of the deals that Nintendo is offering to sweeten the DSi pot is free points that can be redeemed for a downloadable game title for the console.

Nintendo is reminding shoppers today that anyone who purchases a DSi before October 5 2009 at 12 p.m. Pacific time and signs onto the Nintendo DSi shop will be given 1000 free Nintendo DSi points. That is about a $10 value, 2,000 DSi points cost $19.99.

One thing that is certainly associated with the newest game systems from Nintendo is difficulty finding them. Many people who want a Wii still don’t have one because they can’t find it on store shelves. With the new Nintendo DSi set to launch in April, you may want to start pre-ordering now.

GameStop has announced that it is running a reservation program that for a limited number of DSi hopefuls will ensure they get their hands on the new portable gaming system when it launches. The DSi is being offered in a girly blue color and black.
