Nintendo DSi XL arrives with smallest press release ever photo

Nintendo sent along a retail Nintendo DSi XL, and it arrived today... with the smallest press release and fact sheet ever.

To give you an idea, I've taken a picture of it next to my four-month-old's foot. She's got tiny feet because, well, she's a baby. The ridiculous press release is about the same size as her foot. (Man, am I glad we had this baby before this thing arrived.) Yes, it's completely readable, but now I have a headache. Thanks, Nintendo.

I was able to gather some info I didn't know about the DSi XL, and maybe you didn't either. At its lowest brightness setting, this sucker will give you between 13 and 17 hours of play time. The screens are 4.2 inches a piece and... no seriously, my head hurts from reading this thing.

I'll have a full unboxing (it was, uh, messy) and hands-on impressions later, so stay tuned.

Are they trying to be ironic or something?

Bravo, Nintendo! Pretty effing hilarious. I guess this might convince a few people to stop bashing the DSi XL for being too big, since it will give those of you without big hands a chance to feel what its like when things are too small for you. Unfortunately, now that I know that the 3DS is soon too come, I no longer feel like buying and XL. And the 3DS screen is already confirmed to be smaller than 4 inches (vs. 4.2 for the XL). People have talked about how the XL can't fit in pockets, but they probably wear tight fashion pants or something. When I was an 8-year-old kid, with the smaller pants that entails, I could fit the original Game Boy in my pocket with room to spare. I can't imagine the XL is too much larger than that.

@ Davilan:

No, baby feet are just small, fat, and weird.
