The DSi XL isn't something you want to find under your tree?!

[Depravo]

If my DSLite were to break I would consider replacing it with an XL rather than a regular DSi. Then again, I mostly play my DS in the bedroom so portability isn't really an issue.

I'd much rather have a naughty French maid than a DSi XL under my Christmas tree.

I would rather an IPAD under my tree before that humongous distraction.
Speaking of iPads...that was the sixth and final gadget no one supposedly wants to find under their tree. Right CNN...I'm sure NO ONE wants an iPad...

QUOTERetail price: Starting at $499
This isn't a mistake. The iPad wasn't supposed to be on our listing of best gadgets of 2010, which doesn't even exist. No, the simple fact is, tablet devices just aren't for everyone. Even Apple (AAPL) CEO Steve Jobs can't change that, no matter how many card readers or cameras he wriggles into the due-just-after-the-holidays-sure-to-mess-up-your-gifting-plans iPad 2.

Many people who either need or love to stay connected cherish their iPads. And new and great apps are being release for iOS every day. But perhaps the worst gift isn't some unusable hunk of junk -- especially for an inveterate tinkerer -- but rather, a perfectly good product like the iPad, bought for the wrong kind of person.

With just a few days left until Christmas, it's time to check your list, and check it twice, to be sure you're really buying your loved ones something they need and want, and not just another pretty, shiny device.

Yes because the screen are bigger. It is sad to see someone walking around with that giant thing. The DS lite is a good pocket fit, but the DSi XL, way too big.
It is like a mini Laptop with two screen's minus many features. With that giant thing you it should have had the capacity to play HD Movies.

Well for me even the xl would fit perfectly in my pocket.

And for the size you are over exaggerating.

Maybe I am over exaggerating a little bit (Man enough to admit) but the point is that it is huge and I would rather an IPAD under my tree before that humongous distraction.

Man enough? lol k.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HUGE! It's not supposed to be as portable as the other consoles. It's supposed to be something you put in your back pack or whatever, you plop on your desk at lunch and your friends gather around. It's supposed to be huge. Also, humongous distraction? If anything, the iPad is bigger distraction as it's just an iPhone that has no other qualities other than a bigger screen. Not to mention you lose a camera and phone. iPad = fail.

I'd LOVE to see XL under the Christmas Tree, I do actually plan to buy it eventually, it's just still too much money, and I already have two NDS Lites, can't justify buying new handheld that will be used for playing same games I play on Lites.

Anyways, it's obvious that article was written by somebody that probably never actually held the XL in hands, let alone played it or owned it.

I think it would be more accurate to say that the iPad is an iPod Touch without any other qualities besides a bigger screen. Therefore, although it may not appeal to all iPhone owners, I think the majority of iPod Touch users want it. After all, they didn't have a camera and a phone in their iDevice anyway. iPad = win.

being honest, i would like an xl, but what for? my phat is still workling flawlessly... except for the TS which was heavily demolished by pokemon ranger

iPods have cameras now, but still. To bring out the iPad and charge that much for it when it's far from portable itself if the XL isn't portable... it's a joke. iPad = Humongous Distraction.

XL = WinRAR

My iPod doesn't have a camera! I must be out of the loop.

But yes, I agree with the rest of what you said.

That was the point!! Bigger Screens joke... COME ON DUH!!!

I don't have an XL, nor have I ever used one, so I can't say whether I think it's better or worse to use than a standard DSi in my opinion. Seeing as I have a DSi, I'm also not too bothered about having what is essentially the same console again, though if I were to buy another I would most likely get an XL.

Seeing a DSi XL under my tree, I will think that I am 80 years old.
...wait...what?

For him xl = for old people?

Because the screen is bigger?

I think the XL actually came about after older people with diminished eyesight used DSis, and they were made to appeal to those who either would prefer one with larger, easier to see screens, people who used them with friends and of course, the collectors.

and even more less time if you have a SCDS2...

Sorry, but I had to bring you up on that.

 

[Stevetry]

i wish i have a Dsi Xl

 

[Scott-105]

I have a DSi. I wish I had waited and got an XL though.

 

[Slyakin]

Really CNN, really? The DSi XL is an amazing device, and there is no pixelation as far as I'm concerned. The screen size makes it an amazing device.


Also, they're hating on the Nook Color? That thing is probably the best android tablet out there! It's a breeze to root, and it runs all Android apks fine.

 

[Paarish]

I only agree with the last point they make about the 3DS

Dude I love my ipad. don't be a hater man. I know its over priced but hell alot of shit is any more. I'm not an apple fan bot and i despiesed them until i bought an iphone, but they do have some good ideas just piss pour price points.

most of the games I play lately are on a idevice since one is almost always with me.

 

[rockstar99]

poorer in battery life than its predecessor (5 hours versus the DSi's 9 -14 hours).

Fail.
DSi XL is designed to have more battery life than the DSi, they are comparing an XL on max brightness to a DSi on lowest brightness

 

[ThePowerOutage]

That is one of the most failish lists ever.
Didn't they know that the iPad is one of he most wanted Xmas presents?

I was mainly saying it to the people who say the XL is too big or too ugly or whatever for the features you get. Pretty much a comparison I suppose you can call it :/
