Should you upgrade to Nintendo DSi XL?

I’ve seen many videos which compare the DSi Xl to the DSi, or the DS lite, but never all 4 models together at the same time. I’ve had many people ask me if the XL is worth investing in, and I try to answer all questions here.

    I might get one of these if they go really cheap after 3ds comes out. Just to complete my ds collection :P

    @jayvee97 HAHAHA!! I’m one of those parents!! I bought the old school ds back in 04 then it ended up in my closet for a while… Now i have a 4 year old and passed it down to him, and then the damn hinge broke.. I’m looking @ getting him a DSi, DS lite, or an XL tomorrow. Wanted to say thanx, you answered most of the questions I had and me laugh @ myself.

    Are you going to get a Nintendo 3DS?

  17. Paperpockets says:

    Very good review. And funny.

    I have a ds lite and am buying an XL. I think Lite is good but xl just beats it dramatically. When dsi came out i didn’t upgrade cos the only difference was a camera, which is cool, but i want my screens big. The bigger the better is what i say, some companies think its better smaller but its not. Oh and gameboy advance sp is better then the original ds.

  21. scarycatuploader says:

    will the ds game will work on dsi and dsixl?

  22. ocean3865 says:

    The dsixl would be perfect for the 100 classic book game.

  23. ocean3865 says:

    I would rather have the dsixl.then the 3ds. I herd that it can cause eye damage.Thats just my opinion.

  24. ocean3865 says:

    I am so getting the dsixl.

    @shoper45
    Once again for the 8 billionth time, I didnt say kids cant use the dsi or thats its not good for them, I’m simply saying the previous 2 models are better suited for them. Of course a kid can use a dsi and dsixl. But it’s undeniable the dsi’s were nintendo’s attempt to grab an older audience
