Nintendo has just announced the date and price for its chunky-sized DSi alternative, the DSiXL. Billed as a device that "plugs the gap" between handheld gaming and home console experience, the larger sized DSiXL will cost you a cool $189.99 and will be available in North America from March 28.
If you want a screen designed for "multiple viewing angles" that the whole family can crowd around for some reason, then the DSiXL is for you! It's basically the iPad of the Nintendo home gaming family, so if you're into that, then this is the news for you!

That said, no cash to spare between the misses and I so I'll probably have to pass for a bit. I do like the bigger screen though. I prefer my PSP over my DS in part because of the larger screen.
But still not as much as a PSPGo! :P
DSiXL is an oversized DSi
I KNEW IT
MY OLD EYES NEED LARGE SCREENS!
Oh well, best to wait and see so I can find out what the launch firmware is for NOT obvious reasons.
Goddammit...I hate you Ninty. But at the same time I love you. May as well trade in the DSi to bring that price down a notch.
