After much discussion and little research, I decided on an XL package with a practically free version of MarioKart. I have two daughters aged 8 and 11 and was having such a hard time deciding between a DS for gaming and a Sony PSP for graphics and movies that I bought one of each and made a "family gift" out of them . So far, so good! They take turns and don't argue because it doesn't really belong to either of them. I was visiting a gamestop near my house and asked a young woman in her twenties what kind of DS she would like. Her answer was XL. She said that after playing with the little models, her eyes hurt after playing for an hour. It made sense to me and since I'm over 45 and need reading glasses for vision/reading I figured if I ever wanted to use one the big screen would be great. My biggest concern was that it would be difficult for my youngest daughter to hold onto. since it's quite big and now it's bigger thanks to Nerf Armor. She has small delicate hands. Absolutely no problem. It doesn't look like she was playing games. She sits on his lap most of the time. The graphics are good but not as good as the Sony PSP. However, this also applies to the smaller DS models compared to the PSP. One thing that really applies to the DS versus the PSP. Folks at gamestop and my little internet research have shown that younger kids love the DS and older kids love the PSP. This is about my girls. The reason for DS is simple. My youngest daughter loves the touchscreen because it makes it easier for her to play. I've always encouraged books, not TV or games, so they're newbies to say the least. My eldest daughter mastered the controls of the PSP much faster and loves the graphics. After two weeks of use, my eldest daughter said who cares about the touchscreen. The graphics on the PSP are great! Overall I'm happy with my decision and as always the delivery time from Revain was amazing! Love it!
