DSi XL confirmed for Europe following DSi LL release

"dual pens" because dual screens and cameras wasn't enough.

i would have greeted this update with support, but that new price increase just ruins it.

yep just what for another 6 months and they'll relese one that can make phone calls or play music

I would just love to see a Multi Language support for the DSi..

That would make me happy.

I don't understand where all the bitching is coming from regarding this... It's just an alternative for people who want a bigger screen, or for people like me who have stupidly large mits. It's not like the PSP-3000, with no real big changes from it's "Predecessor".

As I didn't get a DSi, this will be my "Upgrade", though I'll miss the GBA... I guess I'll be taking the Lite with me, too...

"The handheld retails for the equivalent of $220 USD in Japan."

You can get a used PS3 for that kind of money! And the screens may be bigger, but the resolution is the same, so the image quality is even worse than the old version.

Except the fact that the price didn't increase $50.

I'd like to point out that the $220 price tag is with the current conversion rates... The Dollar is in the toilet now.
￥18,900 was the going rate for the DSi at launch, while this is ¥20,000. It's literally a $10 difference.

At the time of the DSi's launch, ￥18,900 was only about $180, while now it's more than $200.

You assume that a japanese company won't factor in the conversion rate?

Why would they? It won't be coming stateside for at least a few months, for now it's just within Japan.

One Yen is still one Yen in Japan, the DSi is still selling for ￥18,900 even if the dollar is quickly falling to the worth of toilet tissue. What, every time the exchange rate from CAD to USD takes a dip in our favor we lower the prices of our systems? No... It's the same price in that region.
