My friend got a DSi XL yesterday and the box is HUGE. The actual console, when closed, is about x2 the sise of the regular DSi. I think it would be worth the change, because I play a lot af games that mostly use the stylus or make you draw. But if you mostly play RPG's on your DS, like Pokemon, you may as well just keep your DS or DSi, unless you just want a lot of pixels.

 

The DSi XL doesn't have any very good colors IMO. but I would choose Bronze over Maroon, the Bronze looks more black anyway.

Please don't give people ideas like that. It might make someone think the PSPGO isn't the total piece of s*** it is.

 

At least I could use that piece of sheet to watch movies and browse the internet.

Needless to mention that the 3DS is coming in the next couple of years as well. I'd rather wait to try that out than get a XL :P

I have one. The quality is terrible and the internet is so slow and watered down. No thanks, I'd rather use my iPod.

My friend got me a DSi XL since my DS Lite was old and half broken (present). I also got new Flash Cart for it. Gave him my old DS and Flash Cart (the old flash cart was an M3 Perfect which they don't seem to update firmware for anymore).

 

Unless your DS is breaking and is in time for a replacement (my L button being broken was rather annoying, though the screen's hinge was messed up to, it would just flop to fully open or completely closed), or you just want a nice bigger screen, then go for the DSi XL, else, stick with what you have. Even if the screen is slightly bigger, the games are still the same, so I doubt it'll change the way you play anything.

 

The PSP GO is completely horrible, stick with whatever PSP-X000 you have. I've heard a lot of complaining that "the game I want isn't downloadable from the Playstation Store". Internet Usage is not a pro and neither is watching movies >_> I buy game systems to play games. If there is seriously anything I want to watch while up and about, I have my laptop with me. Breaks between work or traveling isn't really enough time to watch anything.

The PSP-2000/3000 is a much better option.

 

MUCH BETTER.

I'm perfectly aware of that, and I'm fine with my PSP-2000 that I've had for years. I'd just rather buy a PSP Go than a DSi XL.

 

DS Lite > DSi XL (hell, it beats the DSi because GBA >>>> crappy camera and poor music)

PSP-3000 > PSP-2000 (debatable) >>> PSP Go
