3.0 out of 5 stars The price you pay for a pretty face, October 10, 2010

Before you buy this SanDisk 8GB SDHC for Nintendo DSi, please consider the following facts:

1. You don't really need a SD card to play the Nintendo DSi or DSi XL. The DSi comes with 256MB internal memory, of which about 128MB can be used for photo files and downloaded DSiWare programs. The external memory card is only necessary when:
- You want to backup photos files from your DSi to your computer, or
- You want to play music files on you DSi, or
- You downloaded too many DSiWare programs, and need to off-load some to make room for system memory.

2. There are no special requirements for the external memory card. Any regular SD or SDHC card can be used, regardless of its capacity and speed rating. Note that the photo files of DSi are very tiny (typically under 100KB), so even a 2GB SD card can store something like 20,000 photos. Also you'll not see any speed difference whether you're using 'class-2' or 'class-10' card, because the Nintendo system memory is the bottleneck.

For much lower price, you can get a similar memory card (such as the Kingston 8GB Class-4 SDHC or SanDisk 8GB Class-2 SDHC) instead. So it is hard to justify paying a premium for this product.

Unless, of course, you really like the pretty "Nintendo DSi" logo printed on this card.

I bought this card for a Nintendo DSi that I got for my neices last Christmas. It seems to work well and makes the DSi a more enjoyable video game system. Just as an FYI, you don't have to buy a Nintendo-labeled SD memory card for the DSi; Any SD card will work in it.

Not quite sure if it is an advantage buying this "designed" for Nintendo, but it does the job with no complains.
A little overpriced comparred to regular 8GB SD card (if there is any difference?).
