Some people, on other sites, have said that the screen will have too much pixilization (sp?) and won't look good because the screen will be too big. I don't know much about that kind of thing but I am hoping that the images on it look really good. Also, a lot of people seem to feel that the price is too high. I am relieved because I was afraid that it would be well over $200.00

I don't think that the pixilation will be any problem, there supposed to be bigger but there's no screen stretching according to Nintendo, and the videos that I have seen so far of game footage look pretty darn good to me.

gatsbygirl Addicted Boomer Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 1,127 Midwest	ramona, I was in Gamestop yesterday and asked about it and he said that they will be giving credit for trade-ins. I have a DS Lite and I believe he said that the DS XL will cost me $129.00. If you had a DSi, the price becomes even cheaper, $99.00, I think. He gave me a flyer about it. They are taking pre-orders, as of today. I can't wait to order one and having the trade-in option makes it so much more affordable.

I knew they would probably do a trade...as they did with the DSi when it came out. I will defintely be getting in on this. I am looking forward to the new one. WooHoo! Glad I came to read this thread today, although they know me so well at my GS they probably would have called me. : ) I spend alot of time at that place. Thanks Again Barbara

I haven't decided if I want to get rid of my old one just yet though, but that's juicy option to consider if I do.

Wow! That is fantastic. On my way there now to order mine. March is looking good and I'm on vacation not long after that (spring break for my daughter). GREAT TIMING. Barbara

For only $30 Credit I would just as soon keep my original one as a spare. “Life isn't about how you survived the storm.. it's about how you danced in the rain!” the kat =^,,^=

marie OP Addicted Boomer Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 1,849 Indiana	I checked with Gamestop today also and the trade-in prices are both correct. I have the DSlite which I paid $129 for, which would be about the same price for the new Xl with the trade in. I also found an article about the new Xl having a DS Card slot and a SD memory card slot/ I would imagine that you can use the SD card slot for for those photos they say you can store and play and probably also use it for the Book Reader, possibly you can play the MP songs too although I'll have to wait to see if it can do that. Most SD cards had considerable storage space, mine have 2gigs.

You just can't keep up. I think I will still get the XL, cause I really like the idea of the larger size. I don't think I'll trade in my old DS,or DSi, I would rather keep them as backups. thracia ~Didi~ There will come a point in your life, when you realize what really matters, what never did, and what always will.

I'm fairly sceptical of this information and would ck several sources before I bought into this. Although there is a next generation DS in the works I don't really think will see it that soon.

As I understand it, the original plan was not to release the DS2 for another year or two, but Nintendo is rapidly losing ground in the handheld and casual gaming areas to the Iphone and Itouch, and seems to think they have no other choice but to move their next generation handheld forward in order to make up the lost ground.

I have a $40 gift card, and $100 in reward certificates(yes, I spend alot of money there), so I figure it will only cost me about $50. I can't wait for it to come out. thracia ~Didi~ There will come a point in your life, when you realize what really matters, what never did, and what always will. Unknown

Hubby said I had a message on the answering machine... Can't you just tell me? don't think I can walk that far Well, I did, and it was the cheeriest message from my local Gamestop telling me my preordered DSi XL would be ready for me to pick up in the morning! “Life isn't about how you survived the storm.. it's about how you danced in the rain!” the kat =^,,^=
