Thats exactly what it is. Most reviews have said if you have eye problems (older folk) then look into it...Otherwise if you're fine with the size of a DS lite/DSi, no reason to spend 50 bucks more.
Its not just for the old or people with eye problems. anybody can enjoy a bigger screen. i wouldve picked one up if it wasnt for the 3ds. but then again... how big are the 3ds screens going to be... are we going to have a chance to play our ds games on big screens again or is this our only chance?

Actually the only people I know who are saying that it's only for people with eye problems are those who are bitter about the XL in the first place.

Every report I've seen says the 3DS will be back to the small screens......maybe even a bit smaller than the DS Lite. This is another of my many reasons that I believe the 3DS and XL will co-exist.......because a lot of people, given the choice between a small 3D screen or a large 2D, will prefer the large 2D.
I suppose if you want a bigger screen with better sound, and are willing to pay for it, the DSi XL is for you. I personally am fine with my DSi, but I would not fault anyone for going after the DSi XL.
I do like the big screens, but the portability suffers alot from it being so big. no longer can you just slip it out of your pocket and play during class..
"The DSi XL is so big, it stars Tom Hanks! The DSi XL is so big, it can play Laserdiscs! The DSi XL is so big, it's sold exclusively at GameStop: Big and Tall! The DSi XL is so big, it makes other DS models look small by comparison!"
Well.... i just got my dsi the day before the XL came out so im sorta bitter cause everything i read about it never mentioned it was coming out the next day >: ( , but the only thing i gathered that was a real upgrade was the audio. The large screen, from what i've read, is more of a preference cause it does do some distortion, and the large size is also more of a preference cause of how you want to hold it.
anyway, if i could do it all over again, i'd get an XL but i dont feel that it is a complete upgrade, at least that's what im telling myself :D
I thought about it, but no, I like my DSi just fine (I sometimes still am kicking myself for not going with another lite...Final Fantasy VI was on of my favorite games....I thought it would be on the DSWare...silly me).
I only bought/traded for the Xl because my dsi was broken (surprisingly, Gamestop checked every button except the L and R buttons) the larger screens make games seem a lot more vibrant and IMHo, the distortion/pixelation is minimal and hard to notice
as everyone else has already, the Xl is really just a oversized DSI (or maybe the previous three consoles were undersized...)
DSi XL is just a big DSi. Is that a bad thing? Not really, I like the idea of playing DS games on a larger screen but I still hate playing stylus only DS games even on this thing.
