It beats the 3DS. However, I am betting the price will drop soon, as they will not keep it the same as the 3DS. More games, better stuff. Plus, no gimmicky 3D and headaches.

I wanted to pick up a DS once I realized that the PSP I'd bought for my husband was going to be worthless to our small children for a very long time. The DS has games for Early Childhood and looks like it's going to be very beneficial for our homeschool (daughter learns best by playing games and I can only play "ABC Go Fish" so many times.) My problem was that I have fairly severe astigmatism and looking at the original DS screen for more than 15 minutes or so was next to impossible. Enter the DSi XL: I just picked it up this afternoon and was able to play for an entire hour before I felt any strain on my eyes whatsoever. I know the resolution isn't as high as on the original DSi, but the picture actually seems to look better. I don't know if it's just my eyesight, but the XL's picture looks less fuzzy than it's DSi or Ds lite counterparts'. I'm really looking forward to letting my daughters play on this and having it for our many road trips. If I have a beef, it's only that the shiny cover attracts fingerprints........

i still have my original DS(Phat one) and in all honesty i never really had the desire to upgrade it at all as long as it played my ds games i was happy. Since the 3ds came out im considering buying for its price which is 170 the same as this just get the 3ds a much better deal.

3ds is a better deal

buy the 3Ds. It costs the same price!!!!! If you buy the 3DS it is a better deal. SO is Candyland!!
the 3ds is not better than the dsi xl no matter how you look at it. the 3ds is not 3d all they do to make it seem that way is turn the squares into blocks and when you move they tilt the screen. so its not 3d i mean you can get that on an android and all those who say the 3ds is better is just one of those people who like the newest things just because they are new. the newest thing isnt the best thing and besides kids in japan love the dsi and their technology is super advanced so think before you give something a bad rating just because its not the newest product ok?( i mean think of all the problems the 3ds might have, when something like that comes out it isnt perfect. they still have to fix it some. with the DSI xl its already been out for awhile so its complete.)
