So I'm still just waiting for the new DSi XL to be released in north america (or atleast even have a release date announced) and it sucks lol. I've been reading up on a few games and definitely know which ones I will get once the new DSi comes out. So yeah...just thought I'd rant about it. Anyone else waiting for the DSi XL as well? (btw please dont post anything like "JUST GET THE DSi IF U CANT WAIT LOLZOZLZOZL", I'm definite that I'm going to get the DSi XL).

That's cool you're waiting. I would do the same. But, in the mean time, do you have another console to play?

I couldn't wait for the DSi XL either so I imported one from Japan. Take a look at my DSi XL site, it might help pass the time until it's release (or make the wait even harder :P).

That still doesn't make sense to me,its a system you can play anywhere you want to and its not THAT huge as you're making it sound.

Exactly. Its smaller than a netbook/portable dvd players and people travel with those. Is it really that hard to believe that some people may prefer a system like this? Is it just because it goes against your own preferences?

I understand what you're saying, but I definitely will not be carrying my DSi around by any means (unless for family trips or REALLY long trips). I live in the kind of place where bringing that stuff out in public is just asking for trouble (lots of muggings/stealing, especially on public transit). I'll be using it mostly at home, and so the extra added weight/size makes no difference to me, but the larger screens do.

Time flies when you stop waiting. My import of Soul Silver came around awhile ago, and I didn't notice it was already 2 weeks when it got here.:P

You yourself said Spade that time flies when you stop waiting so why couldn't you just wait on the english version of Soulsilver instead of an import?(just asking)

I'm a picky person. I like to compare the Japanese Version to the English in terms of translation. I've been doing this since Ruby. It's stupid, I know.:P

Is it usually the case for North America to get things earlier than Europe? Pardon my ignorance, but I always thought that Europe and North America received stuff usually at the same time, of not just 1-2 days apart?

well games usually come months apart from us to europe. but nintendo is really keeping stuff close now i remember the original dsi came out world wide 1-2 days apart from each region and Eur did get it 1 day before so if that release date is spot on i guess it will only be a couple days. now that i look nintendo is keeping things closer the original ds launched about 4-5 months apart in usa from eur, then ds lite was only 12 days apart so i guess ur right.

Hey, I have some questions for you.

1. How do the older DS games function on the XL? Do they use the whole screen, or do they use their original resolution? Any calibration issues?

2. Do the games look as vibrant as they do on the regular DS Lite?

3. Are the d-pad and buttons also bigger? Do the shoulder buttons feel better?

these are common knowledge i thought. 1. the games use the whole screen because the screens still run the same resolution. 2. i bet they will still look good unless ur trying to look for errors according to kotaku the games look great. 3. the dpad and buttons are the same size as dsi, not sure about shoulder buttons if they are bigger or not (probably not )

I know that it will come out in the first quarter of 2010 (jan feb or mar), but other then that I'm just waiting for the release date to be announced. It's annoying :(
