Enjoy all of the features of the original Nintendo DSi system in a plus-sized package. The Nintendo DSi XL has two screens that are 93% larger than the DS Lite — that means a whole lot more real estate for viewing and playing all your favorite Nintendo DS games. Also, the bigger size means the DSi XL is friendlier to adult-sized hands and motions; it's a perfect Nintendo DS for really big kids. Three pre-installed Nintendo titles come packaged with the DSi XL. Brain Age Express Math and Brain Age Express Arts and Letter test your critical thinking skills and help you train your brain. The Nintendo DSi Browser lets you surf the web right from your DSi XL, and Flipnote Studio helps you Become a master animator on the go: create, upload and share your own animations with the world. You can also find over 100 additional games to download from the Nintendo DSi Shop.
Bought this for my 7 year old daughter. She managed to figure everything out on it just fine. Comes with parental controls so I can make sure she is only seeing content that I approve. I really like it and would recommend it to others.

I purchased this as a gift for my senior mother. The larger screen made it easier for her to see her games without the eye strain that the original DS had. She is very excited to have it. I also purchased the hand held grip to ease the discomfort on her hands. The only drawback that she has mentioned is that this does not have the place to store the stylist. I am not sure if this is an actual fact, whereas I have not physically seen it.

My 8 year old daughter has pink and my 10 year old has blue, they loves everything about this game, they surf the web, by games on it, and soooo much more. My Daughter wears glasses and it is wide enough that she does not have to strain. A PLUS for me.

Got one of these used for my grandson and installed some games on it for him. I installed a game I like and was playing it before I shipped it to him. I didn't want to let him have it because I was having so much fun. Shipped it to him and finally decided I had to have one. Just played it in bed last night and love it! It is a larger screen so us " older people" can see it better. I recommend it to all ages and will enjoy mine on trips or doctor visits.

This was the best thing I could have gotten my daughter, she likes that she can personalize it with her picture and I love it that I'm able to setup parental controls.

Come in from the original ds this is a great improvement with larger display and better lighting than the original. Plus shipping was a breeze I received mine in 1day and in mint condition also came pre-installed with some brain games which I like.

I had an old Nintendo DS which succumbed to the screen flicker problem, so I figured if I were going to get a new one that I'd get an upgrade. I don't care for the 3D games, so I got this instead. I'm a little bummed out that I can't use it for old Game Boy games as I have several of those that would look great on a bigger screen and very few DS games. The games you're supposed to buy on the DS Shopping channel are mostly disappointing, just like those that you find on the Wii Shopping Channel. I guess you're better off looking for someone selling their lot online or at a rummage sale, but the game selection for the DS is fairly limited for my taste. I probably should have purchased the older version.
I like the color and the fancier pen stylus they include, though ^^;

I first must rave about the screen size. Although it is not massive, compared to the original DS it does make a difference. My daughter who is 7 loves her new DSi XL. I do wish there was a compartment on the device for storing the extra large pen. There is a small pen that comes with it as well with its compartment, as would the DS, but there is not a space for the larger size pen. Love the fact that it has a spot for an SD card also. Helps with the storing of photos...my daughter loves to take photos with her DSi XL.
There are other features that are very popular with small children. In addition to the camera and the editing of photos that could be fun, and funny, there is also the voice recordings. WiFi connectivity is also a feature. We have not explored it too much but it is there.
What is also great is the fact that you could use your DS games with the DSi. You don't have to purchase entirely new game cards for this device. The transition from the DS to the DSi XL has been fantastic overall.
If you would like a storage bag for your device (i.e., case, other) you're better off ordering online (WalMart or other). These items for the size (XL) are rare, if at all, to locate in a store.
