shadow460 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I'll stick with my DS Lite, also. Why shouldn't I, when I don't have any games to play on the new DS? I can see $ony following suit...the new PSP Already Gone with an amazing 56 inch display! You have to unfold it to use it, and when it's folded up, there are so many sections it looks like a Rubik's Cube! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STGuy1040 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yes, the DS is getting better, but in a year and a half, another one will come out and this latest large-screened successor will become the antiquated predecessor. Exactly. I'm happy with my DS Lite and see no reason to upgrade right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuppicide Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I tried to get someone to build me one with a 7" screen, partially because I'm too lazy to figure out how to do it. I just wanna play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draikar Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 They just released the DSi not to long ago. I wished they made it a tad bigger like the small HP or Acer Netbooks and add a touch screen keyboard, could call it the DS Netbook and add a GBA port and USB port.

I'd punch the old granney trying to be first in line for one of those J/K Seriously, that would be cool. Netbooks rule, I have one every where I go, and use it to play lots of gameboy SNES, etc, games. So...when's this new DSI big screen thingy coming out anyways?

Draikar Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) I wished they made it a tad bigger like the small Netbooks I seen it and it is the size of Netbooks, its BIG and I like it. It's like two PSP sceens and the screen resolution is great. Edited November 24, 2009 by Draikar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Looks like I may be picking one of these up when they come out. I just found out the other shoulder button on my DS is going out. What the hell is wrong with those anyways? The other buttons give no problems, but those shoulders, damn. The left one died a few months after I got it, and the right one is dying now that I've begun playing Nitro on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try some compressed air, or if you're comfortable doing it, take it apart and clean it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Clean it? I thought it was a microswitch (it sounds like it, though granted I haven't ever had one apart) Yeah, I may try that then. I just gotta find my screwdriver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monzamess Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 It is, so maybe it won't help. I was just passing along something that comes across as conventional wisdom with other DS enthusiasts so there might be something to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 The woman saw the DSi XL at Best Buy and bought it for me, thinking it was a new handheld. I didn't have the heart to tell her it isn't. Anyhow, I actually really like it. Large factor for those of us with adult hands, and the screens are a drastic improvement in visibility over the smaller ones and look really great.

Pyromaniac605 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Most likely the DSi ones after all it is just a DSi in a bigger case with larger screens and a stylus the size of a pen. Darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monzamess Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Yeah, seems the XL uses the 1.4 firmware, so anything that works with the current DSi will work with the DSi XL until they update the firmware again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks that they do this with handhelds instead of updating the older ones they should just put the time,effort and money into a completly new system.

johnon Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I recently upgraded to the DSi from the original DS because the near-inexistent backlight on the original was dying and it was a chunky thing. Other than that, I'm not looking to upgrade any time soon unless the big N somehow suedes me into buying the 3DS...which I really doubt.

RangerG Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I really like the idea of bigger screens on a handheld, it just may persuade me to get one. I have heard so many places that this is for older people or those with bad eyesight. Why can't it just be that some people like bigger screens? Big screen tvs are completely in (not to mention bigger and bigger computer monitors) - are they just for old people or people who need glasses? In my opinion, I like this new DS twist from Nintendo.
