    again its aimed at a different market, theres little reason for a DS user to 'upgrade' to a DSi, even less to go upgrade from a DSi to an XL.

    I never got a DSi so i quite fancy the XL and keep my DS for travelling.

    I have big fat fingers and can't be fecked with the little DSi buttons and stuff so an XL might be a good idea for me.

    I assume that the xl is physically bigger to accommodate the bigger screens?

    I like the size of my original DS, so won't be upgrading. Never upgraded to a DSi as I couldn't cope with the reduced battery life.

    I got one.

    Very happy with it to be honest, nice big screen couple of nice bits of software that come with it, like the movie maker which is a lot of fun.

    160 quid is bloody expensive though, saying that, the pound to yen exchange is so crappy at the moment I didn't get much change out of 130 quid.

    the hardware in the XL is identical to the normal DSi, so any cards that worked on the DSi will work on the XL
