UK retailers are selling Nintendo's DSi console for £119.99 following the announcement of a price cut earlier today.

CVG has been told by senior retail sources that £129.99 is the widely 'agreed' retail price for the device following the drop - but that certain chains have already sliced another £10 off.

The standard price for the console at the likes of HMV, GAME and Amazon is already £119.99 online and at various High Street locations.

Nintendo's announcement said that the new trade price would come into effect on June 18 - but it appears UK retail isn't shy in jumping the gun.

Nintendo maintains that - unlike other hardware distributors - it doesn't set a 'suggested retail price', rather letting individual retailers set their mark-up.

Well that was somewhat unexpected but then again the 3DS isn't too far off the horizon. Now drop the price of the DSi XL and then perhaps we'll be talking so that I can add to my collection of Nintendo handheld systems.
