Review on Enhance Your Gaming Experience with the Stunning Bronze Nintendo DSi XL! by Eric Avina

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I can not leave!

This is my first DS. My kids have DS Lites so I'm not new to these systems. I've been playing Gameboy SP for a few years. My favorite game was Harvest Moon and I played it about 20 minutes a night. When I bought the DSI XL I also bought the Harvest Moon game and I didn't want to shut down the system. Forget about 20 minutes a day. I will play at least 2 hours a day! The screen has changed a lot! My eyes don't get as tired as they used to. I didn't even realize at the time how much I narrowed my eyes. My kids are now in love with the DSI XL too (they keep taking mine). My 11 year old daughter loves the camera and voice features. My 15 year old son says it's a lot easier to play Line Rider 2 on the big screen. We shared pictures and laughed a lot about this system and how it manipulates images and voices. Who knew the word jalapeno could be funny in a voice over recording? I had no trouble connecting this to my wifi. It connected within a minute and I started browsing the web, albeit slowly as I expected. I usually disable wireless on the system as I find it drains the battery too quickly. Read the manual, and I'm usually the kind of person to do this, but I just don't have to as it's pretty easy to understand. The only thing I don't like about my Bronze DSI XL is that the top moves after I open it. I put it in the second position and when I move the system the top moves back and forth. I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be or not. I went to game stores to check the displays but no one shows DSI XL. I don't understand why as it's a great system. I recommend this system for all ages. I'm not even sad that it's not backwards compatible because there's so much you can do on this system and you can buy over a thousand games on it. I will still use my Gameboy SP for my Gameboy games, although to be honest I haven't touched it since I got the XL. And let me say one last time, the screens are AMAZING!
