Color in Picture is Deceiving…,
After waiting for a LOOOOONG time for a pink version of the XL to come out, i’ve finally switched over from a DS Lite.. but.. I’m a little disappointed.
First of all, the color shown in pictures is deceiving, the product is more of a copper-ish pink then a “rose” color. The picture makes the color seem a lot more lighter and pinker than the actual product. Besides that, the product is working well.
I’ve upgraded from a DS lite to this DSi XL, I was worried about how the larger screen would stretch out the pixels but after playing awhile, you barely notice the difference. The size also fits comfortably in my hands, they feel less cramped now which is great because I can play longer. I notice that the speakers in the DSi XL sounds a lot better, more crisp than the DS lite.
So far, I’m very happy with this purchase and recommend anyone with a DS lite to switch on over to the DSi XL. If the reason you don’t want to upgrade to the DSi XL is because you want the GBA port, then i’m here to tell you that there are definitely ways to play GBA games on the DSi XL using a flash kart.

|I love mine,
This is a metallic color that I agree with the other reviewer, while it’s pink, does have tones of copper in the color. I purchased mine to play a few games that I wanted to play. This works perfectly. It has done exactly what I need it to every time. While the screen could be bigger for older eyes like mine; I recognize that most people who play these are younger and have younger eyes. The buttons are placed in such a way that they are very easy to access but are out of the way when you are playing a game that don’t use buttons. The speakers are loud enough for me and the volume is easy to access and slide up and down and adjust with very little effort.
I know there is a newer version out there (DSi 3D) but this one does everything I would want it to do.
Enjoy.

|DSi Rose,
There is no question that that Nintendo has always shown to have the most joy when it has came down to gaming on the go. Since the Game Boy was unveiled over 20 years ago, it really revolutionized the way we play games on the go. Today, Nintendo has shown no signs of stopping with the Nintendo DS & with the Wii. They also have stepped it up even further with the joy of the new Nintendo 3DS. But when it did come down to thei last handheld system, the Nintendo DSi, many gamers really were expecting more. They still got a lot though. But is it a system overlooking, no not really. There are still plenty of reasons to play the DSi way.
The Nintendo DSi XL is a strong and brilliant system which includes a lot of great features including in the system. The DSi XL is a bit bigger than the regular Nintendo DSi, and also expands well as a extra digital camera where you can take great photos, wherever you go, as well as digitally designing on them by making mirror images, or adding your favorite messages on them for your friends. The DSi XL also holds more memory so you can also store your favorite downloaded games from the Nintendo DSi Shop like Dr. Mario Express, Asphault 4: Extreme Racing and Art Style: Base 10 to just name a few. But that isn’t all. Aside from that you can also play all your favorite Nintendo DS classics like the mentally challenging Brain Age, New Super Mario Brothers, and the delightful The Legend Of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. The graphics and the display on the system looks great, and handles well with the classic Nintendo DS systems.
Yet, there are a few disadvantages with the system. The first one is that there is no expansion slot for the classic Game Boy Advanced games. It was with the original Nintendo DS and the Nintendo DS Lite. Unfortunately that brings in a few flaws, there are a few of the classic Nintendo DS games you wouldn’t be able to play with it. So if you do own the Guitar Hero: On Tour games, you sadly wouldn’t be able to those games. Also, if you have the classic Nintendo DS Rumble Pak which was included with Metroid Prime Pinball, that feedback device is also not here for use. The second is that the battery life could’ve lasted a bit longer for gamers. I do wish that there could’ve been a longer life for the battery. While it recharges well, it has the same battery life as the classic Nintendo DS systems.
Despite a few flaws, the Nintendo DSi XL is still a great system to own for gaming on the go. It handles well, and is definitely worth its money. If you’re looking for a new game system, or if you’re a die hard Nintendo DS owner whom is willing to upgrade to the next level, but not yet the level of the Nintendo 3DS, than this would be a great place to go to. It really is worth its money for all the gaming you could ever want.
