The new DSi XL only has a few features, but I will go through them here to keep everything simple and apparent.
Size – is much larger than the original DSi, its screen is reportedly 93% bigger. This improves game play, but does reduce the quality of the graphics. This size makes it great for playing around the house, but when it comes to portability, the DSi XL leaves a lot to be desired.
Stylus – comes with an enlarged pen like stylus, this allows for more comfortable and accurate game play on the DSi XL.
Buttons – are the same size as the original DSi, so while the stylus may be better for those who had trouble with the original DSi, don’t expect any further relief from the buttons themselves.
Finish – Whereas the DSi had a matte the DSi XL has a gloss finish. It looks much better, but it is once again susceptible to finger marks and grease smears.
Games and Applications – Unlike the DSi, the DSi XL comes with some games, a Little Bit of Brain Training, and the Photo Clock . On top of this you also get some additional basic items which increase the DSi XL functionality.
Connectivity – The new DSi XL comes with an internet capability a WiFi ready, so you can go online like facebook and any webpages.
