DSi XL Release Dates Announced

What's the Euro RRP? Not all Europeans live in the UK!

I thought the different colours came with different pre-installed DSiWare software. It were that way in Japan.
Isn't going to be that way in the other regions?

Already pre-ordered mine - a sultry wine red DSi XL will be in my hands soon enough

hmmm shiny

Already pre-ordered mine from nintendo of Greece e-shopping page 192€

Fast releace is fast!

Yeah, the vid on the Ninty Channel mentions different pre-installed software -- 2 Brain Training games (math and i forget the other) and the Photo Clock app.

$20 more expensive than a regular DSi and only 2 crappy DSiWare built in. No thanks (not that i'd want it anyways).

Getting the Red Wine!

Something about those colours makes the DSi XL look dignified.

Australia won't be the last the get the XL, Korea is!

Dumb...just less than a year after their most previous handheld...

want one. Can't afford it, though. Maybe later in the summer or something.

I´m not happy with the price. In Mexico easily will cost double money. Damn stores.

I was planning on getting one but $190... yeah, no thanks. Even the PSP-3000 is now cheaper than that.

I want one but I'll wait for a Special Edition. I waited for the Zelda DS Lite (unique color and nothing else) and the Mario DSi (unique color and excellent value with all the extra games). I wonder what the DSi XL Special Edition would be?

I'll be trading in my DSi for a Dark Brown XL at eb. Hopefully they have a trade in deal like that and you get the XL for $99 or something.

If the price is only going to be $189(only $20-$30 some more than the DSi), then to me @ least, it seems more plausible that N will release another DS, or the successor next year, or the following. Thank God my handheld conundrum is over! Now I can, & will continue w/ my original plan, & ask for an (DSi)XL for my b-day this summer. Sweet Kickinest Awesome! is how I find this news.

I know which DSi I'm buying should my Lite ever crap out on me (in dark brown, course)...

Eh.. A bit too expensive for me..

Amazon says these both will have Brain Age Arts and Letters and Brain Age Math, plus the photo clock.

$190..... no thanx! Too much money for another Re-Hashing of a older system. DSi had new upgrades and justified the cost barely. This is looking to be Nintendos PSPGo!

@chibilink umm, the regular DSi is NOT US$269. The regular DSi is US$169/$179 depending on where you get it.

If they had put back in the Slot 2 for GBA games, I would buy this, but seeing as Nintendo plans on putting out the same exact DSi system (just bigger) in this day and age, that's going opposite the tide. Things should be getting smaller, not bigger. Now, the GameBoy Micro.. THAT was revolutionary!

Oh, and are they improving the crappy camera? Can u load games from the SD card without having to tediously transfer and erase what's stored on the DSi? No. Didn't think so.

I think I'll stick with the normal DSi for now.

It'll be to clumsy and big for me. But good with people with bad eyesight will enjoy it. Plus it does come with free dsiware games.

What's the point of this??? Isn't increasing the size of a portable system defeating its purpose?

Guys, the DSi XL is meant for people with eye issues and families. It's not just for everyone. The only good part is that it comes with the DSiWare Brain Age series, but I think I'll stick with my good old beautiful blue DSi.

Um, I think the DSi XL is meant for anyone that wants one, not just people with bad eyes and families...I like the bigger screens and I don't use it for social gaming and have 20/40 vision.
