In Japan, consumers are rewarded with 1000 free Nintendo DSi points when they first connect their new DSi system to the online store. We've been crossing our fingers that North American gamers will receive the same reward when the portable is released here on April 5, and it looks like we're in luck. Target's product page for the DSi says, "Upon initial access to Nintendo DSi Shop, 1,000 Nintendo DSi Points will be credited to your account, which you can then use to download your free Nintendo DSi-exclusive games and applications."
For full details, Target directs consumers to DsiOffer.Nintendo.com, but that site does not appear to be live, yet.
