I don't see that much wrong about it... I kinda like it.
Ok, so what if it's a little bit bigger and still doesn't have a GBA slot? Who cares?
It's not huge, first of all. It's still a small DS, just a few millimeters bigger, that's all. When you actually see what the measurements look like, you'll understand Nintendo isn't making huge laptops.
Also, for the GBA slot.... Just use your dang GBA! Or use that new thing for the iPlayer! You really don't need it.

I care. Lots of people care. If people didn't care, they would not complain about it.
You guys have to learn that people have the choice to like or not ANYTHING.

For those of you complaining, look at the specs. The resolution is the SAME at the smaller screen, meaning any game will be blurry on it. This was made for Japan, where things like the Music Player, Web Browser, and other features are far more common to see being used on the DS. Here we have a thing called the iPhone. But the article I saw about it does not recommend playing games on it, that this model is recommended for those interested in the secondary features, because all games will be blurry because of stretched pixels.

Geez, that's big....
All I thought when I saw that pic was "Is it made of cardboard?" Seriously, doesn't it look like it's made of cardboard in that pic?
it does look fake, but even if it is, im pretty sure its to scale

Press releases call it the DSi LL. They have it like that on Engadget and Gizmodo as well. I'm pretty sure Kotaku says that as well. Even the poll on GameFaqs called it the DSi LL. At least I'm pretty sure it did.

From what I read Europe it will be called DSI XL and Stateside it will be DSI LL

That explains why the GF poll said XL/LL... I personally like LL more just because XL reminds me of other stuff. I'll leave it at that.

It's a paper cutout. You can see the garble lines where the printer messed up the color. But it's probably to scale. The specs have been anounced, you can compare the measurements with the size of a Wii game box. Yup, it's gonna be huge.

The name's based on the clothing size naming conventions. "One size bigger than Large" is LL in Japan, and XL in Europe and the States. So it will be XL in the States as well.
