Looking to get some cheap extra stuff like a charger, stylus pens, case, etc... Anyone know of any cheap online store (DX, focalprice, etc.. don`t seem to have much)
AND/OR also does the DSi use the same charger and do the stylus pens fit into the DSi the same for XL.

A stylus is a stylus it'll work on the screen no problem, but a DSi stylus won't fit in the slot of a DSi XL, since it's a completely different shape.

It'll be a little while yet before the Chinese cheapo places get some DSi XL accessories out to the mainstream sites. You should be able to use a DSi charger with it, but not a lite charger. The lite charger uses a completely different connector and even outputs a lower voltage.

The XL comes with 2 stylus pens though -- one in the DSi, and another that's in the shape of a large pen. No chance you'll be losing that one!

Me, I'm waiting for a case that fits the damn thing.

Has anyone seen a charging dock that is powered over USB for the XL? I know plenty of em exist for DSL and DSi, but I haven't seen any for the XL outside of ones in the expensive 15135-in-one combo things...

in brown for my bronze dsi, really nice case.

but i also picked up screen protectors at the same time (they are made by rocketfish but the brand isnt stamped on the front) and they are some of the worst quaility screen protectors i ever tried. tossed em right in the trash. what a waste of 6 bucks.

Oh my god. I bought those screen protectors also. Put it on and bubble city. I know I'm probably not the best ever at putting screen protectors on but it was just ridiculous. I immediately took off the protectors and threw them away and kept the cleaning cloth. Now I gotta buy two more sets for my XL and the girlfriend's XL.

RenChi have DSi LL/XL cases and screen protectors...

Don't forget... the LL has been out in Japan for many, many months... so lots of Asian online shops have had accessories for a long time already...

  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:

    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
