Temptation!
Posted by PooJee @ 3:25 AM, Thursday, 18th February 2010
For the last month or so I have been considering getting hold of a DSi XL when it launches on the 5th March. Like with any purchase I have to consider whether I actually need one, I’m looking for some opinions on this!
Here is my small list of pros and cons for purchasing this device.
Pros
• The larger screen is a huge plus.
• Larger stylus could be handy.
• WPA support. Sadly my DS Lite doesn’t support this (I swear a firmware update could’ve sorted this) and I haven’t been on WEP since 2006, and I’m not likely to take that down just for a few games online.
• Access to the DSi shop.
Cons
• I already own a DS Phat and a DS Lite.
• Is it really worth buying another generation of DS when its successor is possibly a minimum of a year away?
• Not 100% sure if I’ll make adequate use of the DSi shop.
• Not 100% sure if I’ll make adequate use of online. Snaking players in Mario Kart DS will probably drive me nuts and I’ll almost certainly get my ass beat in Pokémon. As for other games, I’m not entirely sure until I play them.
So there we are. Even though my cons list is a little longer than my pros (I probably forgot to list a few), I still cannot decide.
