Review: Great screens, great sound, comfortable stylus. Need I say more? - I had a DSi and convinced myself that it would be a waste to get an XL, but it turns out I was wrong. The screens.. I never really gave much thought to how small the regular DSi screens are. The XL screens in comparison are massive. They are lovely and bright, and very clear. One thing I didn't like with the regular DSi was that the sound was pretty bad. The slot design of the speaker made everything sound a bit tinny. There's no issue here. The XL sounds great with no distorting or crackling. The interface is the same as with the DSi. You can scroll through the menu left and right to see what installed games/apps you have and you can connect with the Nintendo eShop via wifi. The nice thing with the DSi/DSi XL is that you can press the home button to quit back to the menu screen if you want to reset or change games, rather than having to turn the console off and on again like with the DS Lite. There are two cameras on the XL, but they're not up to much. They mostly serve as a bit of a diversion when you first get the console but with so many good DS games, I never used them past the first day to be honest. The other great thing about the XL is that although you get the regular skinny stylus, it also comes with a big pen shaped one too. I never gave much thought to how my hand used to get a bit cramped using the little stylus, but it's so comfortable using the pen one that I'll never go back now. The only downside is that it doesn't attach to the console, so you have to be careful not to lose it. The skinny stylus still slots into the unit itself though, so if the worst happens and you do lose the pen then you still have a backup. Lastly, I really like the fact the DSi and DSi XL have proper up and down buttons for the volume instead of the slider on the DS Lite. I would regularly be nudging the volume accidently on the DS Lite. No more accidental silent gaming here. The XL is solidly built and looks, and sounds, great. It's a bit heavier than the regular DSi but considering how nice the screen are it's a compromise worth making. The only downside is that probably won't fit in your pocket anymore.
Review: Blooming Gorgeous! - The Nintendo DSi XL is an excellent handheld console. It is more comfortable for an adult to hold than the DS lite or DSi, ironicaly pretty much the same size as the ordiginal "phat" DS when it first came out, which was succeeded by the DS Lite, and subsequently the DSi. The top is a lovely glossy finish which is very attractive but a magnet for grubby finger-prints. The rear, and the area around the screens is a matt finish which is slightly rough, aiding your grip. All in all, it's a very attractive console. The Gameboy Advance slot is absent, so this console will only play DS games and games downloaded onto it. This is potentially a problem if you have a big stock of GBA games and intend to part-exchange your old GBA DS, or DS lite console when buying this. The screens are very clear and bright, although it should be noted that the resolution of the screens is identical to the DS and DSi. This means you have the same number of pixels, but each is larger. Great if you are getting on in years and struggle to see small characters and text, but equally good at giving you a "bigger" experience. This is particulalrly noticable on GTA Chinatown Wars, which is a bit too fiddly on the smaller consoles IMO. The sound seems more substantial that the smaller consoles and is adjustable by up/down buttons, rather than the old slider. Battery life is very good, but I don't use the WiFi facility which eats into battery life more rapidly, as does wireless DS to DS gameplay. As for the colour, it's AA van yellow and looks great! :-)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does the dsi have a us region code will it work with us games**
A: Yes. But you have to be CERTAIN that you buy your DSi from an AMERICAN outlet. I made the mistake of going for the 'deal' and ended up with a Gameboy from the U.K. I did question Nintendo and was informed that the Gameboys are designed to accommodate the wattage output for each region. So I couldn't buy a US adapter as I would probably destroy the battery. So, I sent that one to a friend from the U.K. and ordered another. I now have a DSi XL that is US rated (120 Watts and not 240 Watts that is European). So get that Gameboy and enjoy yourself.

**Q: his will be placed dsi r4 for more games please download you need urgent response**
A: r4 dsi need to store more games

### ⭐⭐⭐ Seller is great at responding to issues, product would have been great if it worked.
*by P***E on 17 March 2021*

Happy to find a DS XL for the price advertised. Order shipped on time, but I was given the incorrect tracking information. Toy Planet was quick to respond and despatched a new item to the required address. Whilst the item was a week late due to this, it did arrive before I required it (mother's day). Whilst it was advertised that there were mild scratches to the case, the inside and screen of the DS was pristine, working charger also supplied. However the stylus was chewed up, it was revolting - I think it is pure laziness not to replace this, as I picked a pack of 5 spare styluses for about £3. Wouldn't have gone amiss.. Upon testing the DS with two different official Nintendo game cards, I learnt that it was unable to read games. So I am paying for the return for a full refund of the product. There was no postage method offered, so I don't think this will be refunded to me. There is a chance that this experience is just a particularly bad one off. I blame Amazon for their lack of vetting. So I probably won't use this company again unless they offer something particularly enticing, because as I said they were very quick to respond and resolve the situation overall. So I'd recommend this company if you have time & coin to spare for the return. TL;DR: Product arrived late, wrong tracking, DS turned on but didn't read working game cards, refund actioned, returning at my cost, seller quick to respond + resolve. 3 stars for response from seller, product being in relatively good 2nd hand shape + accepting return // -1 star for wrong tracking/delay, -1 star for not working as advertised.
