Author Topic: DSi XL Worth the money?  (Read 3142 times)

Which one do you want?

I still like my DS Lite. I had the original, but when the Lite came out, they were the same value ($130). That allowed me to do a swap at one of the local gaming stores so I didn't have to pay all that much. I preferred the smaller size to the larger, bulkier one, and the DS Lite is still the smallest out of the four. Iif I remember correctly, the DSi comes close, since it's less thick but a bit longer and wider, but the Lite beats it by far on battery life anywho.

Since then, I've gotten a controller grip (VERY comfortable), a battery pack (when LED goes red, I can flip a switch and get 8 more hours of battery life), and a memory expansion card for the GBA slot (that doesn't stick out; it's the size of the placeholder that comes with the system, but a semitransparent color).

It has feet.

Meh... I Still have my First Gen. DS Lite.. As in, It's Black, Not supported with better Hinges, (In fact one of the hinges are slightly broken.. dang nintendo..) And the plastic is much weaker than the recent DS lites that have been made. I'm more happier with this than The DSi. Why?

The DSi cannot play GBA Games
^^^^^
Ruins my want to even talk about the DSi.. I Have loads of GBA Games that I Still play. Heck, The Classic GBA Games seem to be more fun, and keep you more occupied in my personal opinion. Why Would I want to throw em away? Whoopie.. The DSi has a Camera, and features to mess around with the image. Ahem, Adobe Photoshop was made for a reason...


All in all, I Think even getting a plain DSi isnt even worth it, But don't Let my opinion stop you.
Also meaning, Let it stop you.

I got a DS lite about 2 months before the DSi came out...
At first I thought oh damn! Something better is released, but it is more expensive so meh.

Now, I'd rather my thing than the others.
It's cheaper, the DS lite can run my old GBA games, there is no point in a camera on a games console, and I've got it so I may as well like it.
