Nintendo DS

[chapperzUK]

I am thinking about getting one as I've heard some good things about the new Nintendo DSi XL. So what I want to know is :

1) Does anyone on here have a DSi XL, DSi or DS and what do you think of it?
2) Cheapest and best place to get one?

Thanks. :)

DSi XL

Love it and use it all the time esp with my R4i card which I have mp3s and videos on.
Few annoying things like DSi uses WEP and WPA but games such as Mario Kart only use WEP (old school).

Bigger screen makes things a lot easier to see - but I don't take mine on bus/train etc which may be a consideration. Battery life is excellent.

Feel free to ask any more questions!

Thanks, really helpful. Would have greened you but I can't. The new 3DS will be out between October and December, which looks quite decent.

A quick question, how is the pen? It looks very big compared to the normal one.

I haven't heard much about the 3DS to be totally honest.

I never use the pen, it comes with a usual stylus that fits into the back of the DS as per. THe pen size one sits in the box!

Thanks. What games to you recommend?

Hmmm all depends what you are into....

I'm quite a fan of my stragey type games and I am a big fan of things like Civilisation.

However Mario Kart, best version is on DS.

Also things like Scribblenauts are so inventive! You basically have to solve puzzles by drawing whatever items you like.

I have a lot more games than I play.... PM sent.
