Adds two supersized screens; improved viewing angle; fantastic battery life; great new pen-shaped stylus; preinstalled 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.
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. Read full review See all prices

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...
Der Gameboy altert mit mir zusammen und ist schon ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen. Welche Zielgruppe Nintendo anpeilt, ist mir nicht ganz klar. Gimmicks wie die zwei Kameras sind für Ältere nichts, die verstehen vielleicht die Bedienung nicht so sch...
FÜR ERWACHSENENHÄNDEDie Größe macht den DSi XL zur Erwachsenen-Spielkonsole, aber auch Actionsfans bekommen mehr Überblick – und schließlich freut auch die verlängerte Akkulaufzeit. Wir werden sehen, ob Nintendo da...
