I upgraded from a DS Lite to a DSi XL, and I love the shit out of it. I don't care about pocket portability - if it needs to go with me, it goes in a backpack 99% of the time anyway - and it's so big and sharp and the battery life is bonkers.
I don't really have a problem with the change, I don't think it looks super noticeable, but then I've also played lots of ROMs on my computer at a variety of scales, so I understand if it's an issue for some people. I like the size, I see the resizing but it doesn't look distorted.
betaboy said:The XL shows up the low resolution of the screens much more than the DSi. The screens are BIG, granted, but look very 'dotty' (sorry, couldn't think of a better word - pixelated, they are not, it's a bit like when you are too close to an old CRT TV).
