Is the nintendo dsi xl really worth buying?


I need some help on deciding on what I should buy. Walmart is selling a nintendo dsi bundle with 2 games and a starter kit for only 189$ but I don't know whether I should get the dsi xl with the larger screens that is on sale for walmart for 189$ too and with a bonus game. Should I get the dsi or the dsi xl? If you have the xl version, is it worth the larger size? Thanks for any opinions!

The only thing with the XL is that it has almost a double larger screen, while for the DSI you might have to squint. So go for the XL and buy something that lets you download games!

The dsi bundle is what you should get with the two free games cause you pretty much get all the features as the dsi xl just a smaller screen and plus the games.

no. it’s just a larger screen, but i’ve never had a problem with seeing things on the original size. furthermore, the ds was meant to be a portable system; having it that size kind of defeats the purpose.

Don’t bother the Nintendo dsi XL is going to be out dated soon anyway by the Nintendo 3ds which can do all the things a dsi XL can but way more for example it can take 3d pictures using two cameras instead of one it also has an improved graphics card thing that allows for some really nice looking games here a link to show you what im on about:

And heres a link to the official Nintendo press anouncement that pretty much says what i just said in a bit more detail but its interesting:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh_C7LXV-50

And heres some gameplay so you can see the graphics (skip to around 1:10 for the gameplay):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X-5u0YwKOo

Anyway hope i helped to convince you not to waste your money as you will soon want the 3ds anyway.
