The Nintendo DSi XL is basically the handheld I was looking for from the beginning. I think the library of games for this system is filled with many excellent titles, so being able to experience them with better resolution and sound is a plus. The screen is much larger than its predecessors and so are the speakers. You have two styli; the traditional size and the XL size. This handheld is best for older gamers who have larger hands but is also suitable for younger ones who simply want larger dimensions. For some reason, the buttons and D-pad remained the same size. Overall, the battery life is good and this made the games I already own that much better. If you are interested in a DS, I would recommend this one.
This is a very good handheld. Now I don't recommend this if you like to import Pokemon from game to game. I would recommend this if you have bigger hands. It works just as well as any other DS system but, only larger. Overall this is a very good system.

Good, but not for a poke'mon player
PostedNovember 26, 2010
I bought the DSi XL for a good, easy to see gaming system, and it is, dont get me wrong. But it lacks a key thing for a lifelong poke'mon player like me; a gameboy slot. I cant download my poke'mon from fire red on my diamond! I have to use my sister's DS lite to download poke'mon, then play the game on my DSi. It's kind of a hastle., which is why i gave this ystem a 6 for functionality. I wouldn't recomend it if you are buying it to play poke'mon all day, but if you play black ops or mario kart, this is a great game. That is why it has a perfromance level of 10; because its a great system overall. I kind of averaged the value of this system because 2 key parts of value are perfromance and functionality.

Everything Awesome! But one problem...
onMay 21, 2011
A great upgrade if you dont have a dsi already. I had a ds lite before this and I wont say there wasnt problems at first. 1, ALOT BIGGER, I am used to keep my lite in my pockets with still room for other things. But now the XL takes up almost more than a whole pocket no matter how deep your pockets are your gonna see it sticking out. 2, (for lite owners) For like a week even though I was enjoying it it took some time for my eyes to adjust to the WAY Bigger screen. It Awesome IF you dont already have a dsi because otherwise its the same thing only bigger.

BEST THING EVER!!
PostedOctober 22, 2010
This thing is like the best portable game system. who said PSP is better? I was going to buy a PSP, but I was convinced to buy the DSi and it was the best decision ever. It's not only big so it feels more comfortable to hold, but you can actually see the people on those big screens. The graphics are okay for the games I bought and it was pretty cool. It comes with a lot of apps and three installed titles with no extra cost. You can buy some cool mini games from the DSi shop and they are so cheap with the maximum price is like 20 bucks which is only like if you buy a real game. The games are pretty cool too! If you're restricted to T and below games, you have pretty good luck. All the beast shooter games are rated T so... BUY THIS SYSTEM! IT IS MORE PWNSME THAN THAT PSP!!!
