Nintendo DSi XL Console - Wine Red

I used to own a DS Lite. I traded it in for a PSP but craved the unique touch screen of the DS again.
I saw that there was a DSi but noticed that an XL version would be released in the near future.
One near future later and i have my DSi XL and love it.
I think it's a decent purchase for anyone who hasn't owned a DS before or for people who have previously owned an original DS or DS Lite. However i don't think that it's worth upgrading if you currently own a DSi.
The main difference is that the console is blatantly bigger..Appart from that and a huge pen i don't think it's worth investing in unless a bigger screen really means that much to you.
Personally i think the bigger console/screen/pen is a work of genius. Most handhelds get boring because of the small screen and you ache after a while. The XL ensures better gameplay for everyone.

Text is bigger and easier to read and the pictures despite being a lil pixelated at times, can also benefit and look more impressive.
I think the only downside to this console is that it weighs a lot more than it's predecessors. Like noticeably more. I think that despite the gameplay being bigger and better you still really only get the same use as any other handheld because of it's noticeably heavier shape.
But apart from that tiny niggle i think the XL is an amazingly creative and unique console.
