Grown up gaming w/ DSi XL
The new Nintendo DSi XL dropped on Sunday, March 28.
- Larger screen size than the DSi, 93% larger than the DS lite
- Two locking viewing angles
- Speakers are louder and clearer
- Longer stylus comes with system, also includes pen type stylus
- DSIware games included, Brain Age Express Arts & Letters; Math
- Top is glossy with a matte bottom
- Larger size, weight seems same
- Buttons all identical to DSi
Nintendo is hoping to gain an older gaming market with this system. The larger screen size makes it easier to see, and the look and pen makes it seem less juvenile. Sharing gaming experience could be better with this larger model.
Libraries could potentially have gaming with DSi XLs, perhaps attracting a different age crowd. E-books are rumored to be released by DSIware– could be a player in the ebook market for libraries to be aware of.
Price point is $20 more than the DSi. Comes in either Bronze or Burgundy color
If you have a DSi, you might wanna wait for the upgrades in the next version (DS2)…
