Excellent!

Very good mobile gaming console from Nintendo. The packaging was good and arrive in very short time. In the box came the gaming console, the pencil, the wall charger and some documents. Very nice console. I still use it very often. Great product.

Fantastic

Item came better than described and son loves it. It is easy to find cheap games and supplies for seeing how there are newer models on the market. Great starter game console for traveling.

DSi XL - My Favorite DS

I've owned the original "phat" DS, I still own the DS Lite (even the great gold Zelda edition) and I prefer playing the DSi XL now whenever possible. I sold my old DSi to get the DSi XL and I'm very happy I did. Besides the extra screen real estate of the XL, the battery life of the DSi was noticeably less compared to the DSi XL. The bigger screens of the XL are excellent--yes they do slightly render graphics a bit softer than the DS Lite. If you compare the welcome screen text on the DS Lite to the DSi XL, the DS Lite text is sharp as a tack, whereas it is slightly, slightly blurred on the XL. Being a home theater buff I'm a stickler for visuals presented in the best way possible, but the slightly softer, or in some cases slightly more blocky graphics (I emphasize slightly) of the larger DSi XL screens are not off-putting in the least. I greatly prefer to play games on my DSi XL unless: A) I want extreme portability, the DSi XL is much larger than the DSi or DS Lite in terms of fitting in your pocket. B) I want GBA support, like the DSi, the DSi XL sadly loses the GBA slot for an extra camera--I really hardly ever use even one of the cameras.

My daughter got it today, and likes the color ...

My daughter got it today, and likes the color, very excited for her to have it since we could not afford one when they were first introducd on the market, so thanks for making it affordable for her to buy it with her saved chore money for 2016, 2017.

Good Product

This was a very nice product that I bought for my down time, to just sit back and enjoy some games it worked well and lasted a long time. The quality is well designed and has some fun features, the support for games is not bad it has a wide range, it sucks that the generational gap is there with games so you can't play newer games as the slot difference but it was a solid buy regardless.

loven it

Well i finally moved up to a DSiXL after my original cobalt blue Nintendo DS quit on me after 6 long years. This was the DSi I had been waiting for it is big enough for my hands I can hold this comfortably. The other DS's like the lite and the original DSi were just so small my hands cramped up trying to play them. Then i heard of this and at first they did not have a color i liked then not only was there a price drop but this color was released as well! It was a much needed by I take gaming on the go all the time and i have a lot of DS games. The big screens are so awesome. I am having alot fun with the built in cameras as well. my only complaint is the battery life it seems I have to charge this every two days however I don't really mind. Bottom line is that i am enjoying it. I love my GIANT DSI!

Simply Awesome!

Well, having gone through alot of trouble trying to get a DSi, I hoped it would be worth it. And it defineately was! The problem I always had with the old versions of the DS was that it was just a games console, nothing else, it jus played games. That's why I spent time trying to find games that were like tools (e.g.the web browser game you could buy). But the DSi has met my expectations. It's cameras may be low res, but do we expect them to be 10 megapixel super cameras? No, they're just for fun, and that's what some people are finding hard to grasp, the DSi is for enjoyment. The DSiware was slow to load most of the time, as was the bowser, but it was very useful for good games like Wario snapped or apps lke Flipnote Studio. A problem I found though was that you couldn't link your WiiWare account with your DSiware account, so you had to buy separate points, but this won't be a problem for people who don't own a Wii. I was dissapointed by the internet, as it didn't use a 3G connection or special Nintendo hotspot connection, but an extra cost would probably be added if this was the case. On the other hand, the wi-fi is easy to use if you are connecting to a free hotspot like McDonalds and your wi-fi at home is also simple to log on to, you can get surfing in a couple of minutes. Overall, this is a brilliant update from the previous DS's, and next up will probaby be a DS with video recording and software for it. But this is perfect for me, being just 11 years old and just wanting to play around with photos and sounds for fun. Well Done Nintendo!

DSi XL is awesome!

I love this thing! My boyfriend wanted to play DS with me, so I got this and gave him my old DS and a gift. If you already have an old GBA and don't care about backwards compatibility, the DSi XL is great. For as big as the screen is, it is really not much bigger overall than the original DS. The original had a 3in screen, the DSi had a 3.25in screen, and this is 4.2in. However, it has the same resolution as the DSi. This almost scared me off, but I'm glad I got it. The large screen means you can hold it further from your face and still read it, which is very comfortable, and the bright and vivid colors totally make up for the low resolution compared to the screen size. Also, the DSi XL screen has a much better viewing angle than even the DSi, which makes it easy to show what you are doing to your friends and to see the screens if you want to play with it set on a table like a laptop. All-in-all, a great system and great purchase.

Keep your brain as youthful as possible

Nintendo DSi XL - Midnight Blue I originally purchased this for my son, I tried the built in Brain Age and became hooked so I purchased my own. It is very addictive and gave me a slight headache as I went over the training modules. In the beginning I was pegged as a brain age of 64 but after 2 weeks of 30 minutes of training every day I am a youthful age 25 in Math and 21 in Arts and Letters. As our brain starts to deteriorate after age 20, age 20 for brain age is ideal. If you have a DSI or the DSI XL that has Brain Age built in, I would mandate that the child/children put in some training every day. As you get more daily stamps for returning to train, more programs are unlocked. It is loads of fun and my brain is reversing in age. FYI- there are parental controls that you can use to turn off wi-fi or set limits on what rating of games can be played in the unit.

Awesome

Awesome product a big upgrade from the DS Lite. What more can I say other then get technical, this is like a luxury car vs the DS lite there is no comparison. If you have large hands then you will like the placement of all of the buttons, if you are younger this is probably not the version for you as it is fairly large and hefty and can tire young or old hands. I can't even really pickup my old DSLite now that I have this DSi XL ~ it seems so awkward and tiny. Overall this product is an excellent purchase, couldn't really ask for more (as they've already done it with the 3DS but couldn't afford that so I got this instead, still worth it).
