Nintendo Biggie Sizes the Nintendo DSi with DSi XL
Posted 10/30/09 at 12:52:09 AM by Nathan Grayson

Here at Maximum PC, we love the Nintendo DS and its two suave screens just as much as the next tech publication, but now, we think we’re finally coming down with a case of DSitus. Let’s have a look through the recently updated DS family photo album, shall we? There’s DS phat, DS Lite, DSi, and – now introducing – the DSi XL.
So, what makes next year’s model so special? Well, for one, there are bigger screens, and then, well… pretty much just the bigger screens. More specifically, the DSi XL sports two 4.2 inch displays – as opposed to the DSi’s formerly formidable 3.25 inch displays, and the DS Lite’s pint-sized 3 inchers.
The latest heir to Nintendo’s portable dynasty – which also includes a bigger stylus, if you’re into that sort of thing – is expanding into America during quarter one of 2010. So far, there’s been no word on price other than that it’s "expected to be higher than that of the Nintendo DSi."
So, are you interested in nabbing a DSi XL, or is your portable game system fund still tapped after 2009’s DSi-PSP Go double-whammy?

At current exchange rates, the expected street price in Japan is round about $220 or so for it... Keep in mind the Yen is currently stronger than the dollar (well the penny anyway)...
The odds are, due to the saturation of the DS in the U.S. it will likely come in at about the $200 mark here as well. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest by $200-230 basically.
