Will be picking mine up as soon as Gamestop opens. I also got the call yesterday. Got mine this morning. The screen is a nice size. Will make gaming much easier.

I picked mine up earlier today and it is charging. The screen seems so much bigger than my old one (DS Lite). Can't wait to try it out and see what the games look like on it!

Got mine as well yesterday. Took a little while to set up the internet, but finally figured it out. Played Brain Age and it said I have the brain of a 71 yo! Although the 70 yo's aroud here are pretty sharp, I'm only 50.I am ejoying the bigger screen very much as well.

Gatsbygirl, it wasn't to hard to set up, once I figured what to do. I had to go to advanced setup on the XL, then press and hold some button on the top of my router, while the two communicated. That was it! Now I don't feel so bad about havig an old brain. Probably got it from playing too many games thracia

Okay, now that they have finally released a gaming system for us with slightly older eyes, how about releasing games in a genre` more to our taste? Over 50 gamers are quickly becoming a large part of their buying audience, aren't we?

jody319,katbear50, what kind of games are you interested in? There are adventue games, puzzle games, HO games, etc.(I saw Dream Chronicles, for example at Best Buy for 19.99).You could go to the Gamestop website and look up the games under the different genre's,(there are lots of games of all kinds). Also the downloaded games are through Nintendo, and you have to spend points for them.

thracia, I would like non-action adventure games, and some IHOGs. I found the items in Millionheir too hard to see on the DS lite. And some fun games like So Blonde, or Ceville. Right now I'm enjoying "Zenses: Rainforest", and am looking for a Mahjong where you don't have to rescue anyone. Trying to get into the 2 Ace Attorney ones I just bought, have begun Phoenix Wright, and have Apollo Justice too. They seemed to have been highly touted, but I find them to be a wee bit on the corny, overdramatic side so far. Appear to be Japanese, and much of their media would seem to be that way. IMHO

katbear50, you could try these games: Hotel Dusk,Nancy Drew: Hidden Staircase,Clue Benders Society, and Model Mysteries. CSI Dark Motives,Trace Memory,Unsolved Crimes, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars,Hardy Boys:Teasures on the Tracks,Professor Layton:Curious Village,and The Diabolical Box,Sherlock Holmes:Mustery of the Mummy,JamesPatterson WMC: Crimes of passion, Amazing Adventures,Dream Day Wedding:Dsstinations,Agatha Christie:ABC Murders, Mysteyr PI, just to name a few.
Some are hidden objects, some are puzzle games, some are adventure games. I have not tried all of these, they are on my list of games to play eventually. I find that Nintendo DS has the widest variety of games for all gamers.

thracia,Re : Chronicles of Mystery: Curse of the AncientsWas just researching this DS game, and as with a number of them this is what I've found: This puzzler is a modified version of PC point ’n’ clicker Chronicles of Mystery: The Scorpio Ritual. This is confusing
