I'm curious how many people are interested in buying the new game console for DS when its realeased in (March for UK) and (No release date for US yet) I'm personally going to get it when its released, I love the idea of that larger screen.I don't know what color I'll get yet, wine red, white, brown or black.

Funny you should ask that question, as I spent the last few days searching to see when it will be released. To answer your question ME! ME! ME!I cant wait for the US release. I also like the idea of a bigger screen. I got the DSi last year.Not sure which color yet. I'm also trying to guess the price(I'm guessing about 200).

Hi thracia, I think I remember reading that it will be around the $200 also.
There are a lot of videos on youtube on the Dsi LL and XL that have intrigued me and I don't see a downside to buying one, even though the size is much larger than my DSi.

Hi Marie,I mostly play with my DSi at appointments or while in the car, so I don't think the larger size will bother me. As I am soon to hit the half century mark, my eyes will appreciate the larger viewing area.I saw some of those videos on you-tube.Very cool.I also have about 20 unplayed games to catch up on( that does not include the 20 or so PC games, and the 20 or so cacual games, or the games I am playing on PS3,Wii or Xbox). I think I have a problem!  thracia

I'm having a great time with my NintendoDS Lite so I'm in no hurry to upgrade. Will the same games play on the new DS? What is the difference between LL and XL? I am curious about it though.
To love is to be happy with!

Sierramindy, I think is being called LL in Japan, but will be called XL here in the US. They are both the same console.
Marie, I told you I have a problem. I'm just like a big kid...with a job.

gatsbygirl, Yes all your DS games should play on the new XL. No Gameboy slot though I understand. If you see a release date for the US please let us know, thanks. The only thing I could wish for is that they had a pink version, I'm just  over the color PINK. thracia, Yes your correct LL for Japan and XL for the US. I know what your saying about being a big kid, my own son said just this Christmas that I know what games are coming out even before his three kids do

Ah so, thanks loads for answering my question, thracia. It could have meant "large" and "extra large" for all I knew.

Marie ,I think I have more games than my 17yo son.Sometimes we even fight over who gets to play first.I also like the color pink, but the color options seem to be limited at this point.They usually come out with the color I want, after I buy it.
Thanks Ramona, that's how I feel sometimes.

That would be great ramona if Gamestop gave out the credit for the new XL, but for me personally, I probably wouldn't do it since I've customized mine with a Pink Heart skin and also covered it with a Pink Nerf Robo Armor.I did the pink stuff because when I bought mine the color pink wasn't out yet.
thracia, That's exactly what happened with me, I thnk there was only black and white at the time.
katbear, I saw a video that showed another game bundled with the new XL, I believe it was some kind of brain trainer. There where someother applications also but the narrator didn't explain those.

ramona, The skin for the DSi isn't too expensive about $10.00 if you want to get it. Glad to hear that you like the thread.  I just checked on www.nintendolife.com and the preloaded applications on the DSi XL with be Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training: Arts Edition and Dictonary 6 in 1 with a camera feature. You can take a picture of a word say in a foreign language and it will translate it for you. Also included is the DSi browser.

from kotaku.com dated Jan 14, 2010
The new Nintendo DSi XL - already out in Japan, where it's known as the DSi LL - will be released in Europe in March, Nintendo has announced.
It will be available on March 5, on both the continent and in the UK, in red and dark brown.
The Nintendo DSi XL is essentially a Nintendo DSi, only with much larger screens and a bigger, more comfortable stylus. It was released in Japan in NOvember 2009, and will be out in the US sometime this quarter.

Great article Rice burner, I'm so excited  about the US release date of March 29 and the price isnt bad either. I also like that fact that it has a book reader, I have a small wallet size one now so that will be a big improvement for me. I never went in for the cluncky Kindle one much too large for my purse. Here is the Amazon site for the Burgunday [url=onehttp://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DSi-XL-Burgundy-DS/dp/B002I08UWU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1267060862&sr=8-2][url=onehttp://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DSi-XL-Burgundy-DS/dp/B002I08UWU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1267060862&sr=8-2][url=onehttp://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DSi-XL-Burgundy-DS/dp/B002I08UWU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1267060862&sr=8-2]onehttp://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DSi-XL-Burgundy-DS/dp/B002I08UWU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1267060862&sr=8-2[/url][/url][/url] Oh Yes, Rice Burner, I'm so lovin it.
