Have you been holding off on getting your hands on the DSi or DSi XL? Well, your wait is going to pay off, because in two short weeks, both versions of the system will be getting a little bit cheaper. Starting on September 12, the DSi will drop to $149.99, and the DSi XL will be going down to $169.99. That means if you have plans on getting one of these, you should start getting ready to purchase it as close to Sept. 12 as you can. If working in games retail has taught me one thing, it is that a price drop during this time of the year means more people are going to be buying these for Christmas and they are going to start selling even faster than normal.
Recently, Nintendo sent out an updated list of release dates for their big games that are coming out this year. Missing from the list was Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. This raised some concerns that the game was getting delayed into next year, and rightly so. Thankfully, that is not the case, as Nintendo has just announced that the new Golden Sun title will be available on November 29. You can read the press release after the jump.

Four years ago today, Matt started DigitalSomething, while we've had our highs and lows we can't be anything but thankful for everyone that visits, comments or joins in on the forums. This year we launched the DigitalSomething Podcast, huge thanks for everyone that has chipped in, including I Fight Dragons for the killer soundtrack and our own HarleyQuinn for voiceovers. We also began a new article with Independency and we pulled another good April Fool with the Virtual Handheld announcement.
So here's a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to DigitalSomething.com you're 4 years old now... but why is Jeremy still wearing a diaper?
Every week, I take a look at a different Indie game. From Freeware and Home-brew, XBLA/PSN/WiiWare titles, PC games and Xbox Indie titles, anything goes. If it's by an Independent developer, I'll be covering it. This is Independency.
Slim week this week, as we see a new Sing It game and Chuck E Cheese's Party Games. Though the week could be saved with re-release of Record of Agarest War for Xbox 360...
