In a press conference yesterday, Nintendo announced that starting November 21st in Japan the DSi LL will be available for 22,000 yen (or $220 US). The newly designed DSi LL will come with a much bigger screen than the recently released DSi as it will be 4.2 square inches compared to the DSi’s 3.2 inch screen. The new DSi LL is geared towards the user who would use their DS for web browsing and music as it will offer a bigger screen for navigation and reading font. But of course it will be great to play games on a bigger screen as well. Currently there is no release date for the United States, but I assume we’ll be hearing news on this shortly.

Here are five new “Independent” brand watches from our friends over at Tokyoflash.  All five are quite stunning and are a little removed from Tokyoflash’s usual assortment of “hard to read but insanely cool” timepieces.  That bling is gonna cost you though…the “Independent” lineup above is a limited offering so you know the prices aren’t going to be in the Timex range.  At the current exchange rate for the Yen (remember…shipped from the land of the rising sun!) you’re going to be looking at between $269 and $323 which really falls into the “what will I pay for a good watch” category.  Click any of the above pics to see them larger and head over to the product page here.

I’ve been watching the development of this new sculpt by Kaijin for quite some time, and the Musyubel is finally about to see the light of day. You can pre-order him at the One-Up store here for 5985 yen. That’s $63.10 for all of you squares.
