Taking a Look at the Nintendo DSi XL


Cool video about dsi xl - have a look:


Nintendo sure does like milking their handheld lines, and suckers like me eat them up. What can I say? I absolutely love the DS! And to be fair, not all of these options are not for everyone. They're just that. Options. The XL features screens 93% bigger than the DS Lite. It's considerably bigger, but weighs roughly the same as the DSi and feels pretty good in the hand. The layout of all the buttons, screens, cameras, etc are exactly the same as the DSi. The hinge clicks halfway open, which conveniently props the upper screen up. The volume rocker now has better separation between the two buttons, and protrudes further from the system, which means changing the volume is much easier. The XL comes with Flipnote Studio, web browser, Brain Age Express: Math, Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters and Photo Clock all preinstalled. Flipnote is a free DSiWare game, regardless of which model it is downloaded on, but the free Brain Ages are a nice touch. I can't imagine the Photo Clock will see much use. I would have liked to see some more substantial preinstalled games, but freebies are always nice. The DSi XL retails for $190 USD, and comes in either Bronze (a dark brown) and Burgundy (the wine red featured in this video). It comes with a standard stylus, as well as a bigger fountain pen sized stylus. The charger is the same charger that comes with the original DSi model. Again, this is not something for everyone. In fact, it's probably downright frivolous. But I can't lie: I like ...

I think I’m the only one with the ORIGINAL (not Lite) DS… i feel lonely…, but thats why im upgrading. Not a GREAT difference, since many got the Lite one, and I dont have problems with DSiWare, cause I donĀ“t have a DSi.

PhotoClock ??

Sounds exciting.

What’s interesting is that you can have a game pack in each of your 3 systems and play them without having to swap them out.

I read it is heavier than the original Nintendo DS.

Just don’t drop it when you are playing it while taking a dump.

@ilovepj6488 Haha, I get emails when someone comments on my videos, and I happen to be at my computer. :)

ilovepj6488 October 25, 2010 at 8:37 pm

@tvandlust that was fast that you replied to me

tvandlust October 25, 2010 at 8:37 pm

@ilovepj6488 I don’t think that really means anything. The DS Lite has a different charger from the DS and the DSi has a different charger from the DS Lite. With so many different chargers for essentially the same system, I don’t think it was necessarily a given.

ilovepj6488 October 25, 2010 at 9:10 pm

ofcourse its the same charger the dsi xl is the same as the dsi but bigger.

MileyMusic98 October 25, 2010 at 9:49 pm

I kept my original DS and then I bought the XL

xpsychonovax October 25, 2010 at 11:57 pm

I’m really considering getting one of these. I haven’t had a handheld for a while. I do have an iPhone, but that doesn’t count.
