DSi XL

Posting this from a new DSi XL.  A little clunky, but alright.  The logo is pretty huge

I've been meaning to call Nintendo to get the final word on this, but I'm pretty damn sure you can't transfer DSi Ware purchases to one of these things. No sale.

You cannot, but it's "Something that we are actively working on", quote the rep.

sadly, i won't be purchasing a DSi XL until there is a Mother 4 special edition version released in Japan, thus breaking my streak of being sucker enough to buy every single Nintendo handheld.

I'd like one, mainly because Worms is just not as fun if people can't watch you kill them.

However, Nintendo has pretty much thrown this thing under the bus what with announcing the 3DS right before its release.

Sort of wondering what happened here. This may be a case of Ninty Japan writing off America. Or more likely, they've just settled into the fact that DS prints money no matter how many times you release it.

Moreover, I wonder what this means for DSi exclusive games? ARE there even any of those yet? Might be a smaller pool of games than even 64DD.

Wow, that's exactly what I was imagining, making Thad's argument for a genuine 3d display of some sort more likely if its going to be a whole new model.

They have a few out their. They rely on the camera heavily, I guess.
There is a little sticker on the top left of the box.
