  • Abstract:  The Nintendo DSi LL, (DSi XL in the West) is the latest addition to the hugely successful Nintendo platform. "LL" is the Japanese equivalent of "XL", or "extra large". But is bigger really better? Released in Japan in late November, the Nintendo DSi X...

  • Superior audio quality, sleek yet hefty design, larger screen size benefits both graphics and DS touch gameplay
  • High price for a late redesign, despite larger dimensions there's no GBA support, camera resolution hasn't been improved from the original DSi whatsoever
  • Nintendo's extra large handheld bucks its predecessors' smaller, sleeker designs in light of a heftier frame and wider screen, but is it worth its equally sizable price tag -- especially with the newly announced 3DS on the horizon...

  • Adds two supersized screens , Improved viewing angle , Fantastic battery life , Great new pen-shaped stylus , Pre-installed games and software
  • A bit bulky and heavy , Size makes device less portable , No improvements over DSi's cameras and internal storage , Networking hiccups found in DSi remain , Text-based games may look slightly blurry , Old DSiWare games can't be transferred over to the XL
  • At the end of the day, the DSi XL is exactly the same as the DSi, so unless you're desperate for more touch-screen real estate, or your vision is impaired, we can't recommend a purchase over the original DSi....

  • Abstract:  “Some players want to play their games on larger screens.” That was Nintendo of Canada spokesperson Matt Ryan’s response when I asked him why his company engineered the $199.99 DSi XL, a super-sized version of the Nintendo DSi, the camera-equipped edit...

  • Larger screens than its predecessors have; improved viewing angles; fantastic battery life; great new pen-shaped stylus; some games and software pre-installed
  • Rather bulky and heavy; its size makes it less portable; no improvements to the DSi's cameras and internal storage; text-based games may look slightly blurry; old DSiWare games can't be transferred over to the DSi XL
  • The Nintendo DSi XL is larger than the DSi but otherwise pretty much the same. Unless you're desperate for more touchscreen real estate or your vision is impaired, we'd recommend you opt for the cheaper DSi ...

  • Abstract:  The newly expanded DSi is clearly targeted at older users with its sober colours, much larger screen, fatter stylus and wider viewing angle, but even youngsters won't mind the extra bulk in exchange for a bigger and brighter playing surface. Nintendo ...

  • Should you buy the Nintendo DSi XL? Probably not, if you already own an original DS, DS Lite, or DSi. Not unless you have trouble making things out on any of those models' screens. Is Nintendo targeting the XL at a market - an older and/or visually ch...

  • Great build quality. Solid case and stiff hinge. Great matt sandpaper-effect body finish. Battery life is also improved
  • Slow browser – modern smartphones destroy the DSi XL for online use. Low-res text looks rough on the big screens
  • Big-handed, short-sighted gamers of the world rejoice. Everyone else – shrug and stick with your old DS ...
