The Nintendo DSi XL (known as the Nintendo DSi LL in Japan) is a handheld game console produced by Nintendo and the fourth iteration of the Nintendo DS handheld gaming console and Internet Device, being the direct successor to the Nintendo DSi. It is slated to be released in Japan on November 21, 2009 and Europe and North America in January of 2010.
[edit] Hardware

Size

The DSi XL measures 161 x 91.4 x 21.2 mm (6.34 x 3.6 x 0.83″), 1.61x the total volume of the DSi, and 1.48x the volume of the DS Lite. It weighs 314 grams, compared to the DSi’s 214g and the DS Lite’s 218g.

Screens

The screens are 4.25 inches diagonal. For comparison, the DSi’s screens measure 3.25 inches, and the DS Lite’s screens are 3 inches. As it is only a minor hardware revision, there is no reason to believe that the resolution will change from 256×192 pixels per screen. The reason for the larger screens is mainly attributed to allowing easier play on games that feature small text and precision gameplay. Another reason, according to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, is “to offer a new play style, where those who are surrounding the game player can also join in one way or the other to the gameplay.”

Colors-

The Japanese version will launch in four colors: Wine Red, Dark Brown, Lime Green, and Natural White. No announcements have been made regarding color for any other region.

Included software

Preloaded on the internal memory: the DSi Browser, Flipnote Studio, Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, Brain Age Express: Math, Dsi speak channel, and Meikyou Kokugo Rakubiki Jiten, a dictionary program. Contents for the North American and European releases will be simular.

3G and Bluetooth-

The dsi ll will feature free unlimited wireless 3G access.It will also feature Bluetoth for data, app, music and info transfer between dsi lls,computers and other compatible accesories ex.like keybords, Gps or FM radio adaptors.

Accessories-

The DSi XL, like every other DS, includes a stylus that fits into the unit. The DSi XL stylus is 96mm long, just 4mm longer than the stylus on the DSi. The XL also includes a 129.3mm-long pen-shaped stylus, which does not fit inside the console. In addition, for the first time in the DS line, two DS models will share a common AC adapter. The DSi XL will use the same AC adapter as the DSi.

Battery-

Despite the increased size of the displays, the battery in the DSi XL supposedly outlasts that in the DSi. Nintendo claims 14-18 hours of runtime on the lowest brightest setting, compared to 9-14 on the DSi. On the highest brightness, the DSi XL supposedly lasts 5-6 hours, two hour longer than the range for the original DSi.

Compatibility-

As a DSi, the XL will be able to play DS cartridges, including those designed only for DSi and those enhanced for DSi. It will also be capable of downloading and playing DSiWare. Like the current DSi, there is no slot for Game Boy Advance cartridges.

:P u mean sony …
:P u mean sony losting money because of their sucky psp go lol

the reson nintendo …
the reson nintendo is doing this is cuz ther losing money cuz of sony so this was there idea

nintendo didn’t …
nintendo didn’t think though. the dsi is coming out january through april of 2010. it could be less than a year than when the dsi came out. then people are going to think they will keep making dsi’s and they won’t buy one because once they buy one nintendo tries to rip off their money by making a new one with a big update . So far I will get a dsi Xl when it comes out in the us. but if I were you wait. cause they might make a new one. I wonder if it could nicely fit into my pocket.

People this is …
People this is better cause bigger screen more available room to touch, thank god. All though i feel ripped off cause i bought my dsi when it barely came out and now theyre coming out with a new one. SERIOUSLY

i wasn’t first in …
i wasn’t first in line. i was LAST. i’ve only had my DSi for let me see… LESS than a month. -.- so of course i’m going to feel ripped off…

anyways… i’m not going to purchase a new DSi until they enable the ability to watch youtube and increase their harddrive capacity. *growl*

LL is the japanese …
LL is the japanese name (probably because “x” isn’t in their phonetic vocabulary) ^_~

ITS HUGE
ITS HUGE

ich finde, er hat …
ich finde, er hat etwas an “Schönheit” verloren, aber die Bildschirme sind natürlich kein Vergleich zum DSi… Ich überlege es mir noch, ob ich wirklich meinen DSi verkaufen soll und dann einen DSi XL kaufen soll….

it looks like a …
it looks like a netbook

i think this is …
i think this is wrong because the graphics are getting worse on a bigger screen. all of the DS games have one resolution. Nintendo should come up with something new.

dang, its almost as …
dang, its almost as big as the PSP screen!

me want one!!
me want one!!

wow.. it’s huge. I …
wow.. it’s huge. I think I will prefer the original DSi, at least that one may fit in my pocket :) , though the big one isn’t bad. I like it though

It’s about a 4th of …
It’s about a 4th of the regular DSI’s cost more.
$220

No it’s not
No it’s not

um that doesn’t …
um that doesn’t look pixelated to me… like many people thought it would be

Yes, some people …
Yes, some people say so, that the XL version would be for people who have sight problems…

i want a dsi xl!!!
i want a dsi xl!!!

Obviously, anyone …
Obviously, anyone whom actually didn’t wait this out like the rest of us is going to feel ripped off. It’s their own fault!

That’s what you get for being first in line! Nyah Nyah~!

It’s all about timing in this industry! Think back to the GBA/GBA SP issue with the backlighting.

Similar occurrence, different topic; this one being a larger screen/device.

I thought it was …
I thought it was for older people who were having problems looking at the screen. I think the regular will still be made.

That’s business for …
That’s business for ya.

i want this
i want this

Not really for the …
Not really for the target audience you have in mind.

Are we really …
Are we really moving back in time to a point where bigger = better? Sony makes a PSP Go to be smaller and Nintendo counter-attacks with an even bigger DS. Not exactly the smartest move ever Nintendo.

you dont have to …
you dont have to buy the dsi ll……
