In fantastic condition + My preferred way to play DS games
It's hard to rate stuff like this considering how I have to rate both the DSi itself as well as the condition that it came in, so I'll try my best.It arrived in great condition, it seemed like new. DSi worked out of the box, no problems with charging the battery, and after calibration the touch screen was on point. Very satisfied with this seller.As for the DSi XL itself, I quite like it. The other DS models before the XL (that being the Original, the Lite, and the DSi) were all too small for me to comfortably use, in addition to having very small screens that made using them a challenge. While the lack of a GBA port is definitely a point against this model, the larger size and larger screens has made this my go-to way to revisit my DS collection. The screens are the selling point here, because unlike the 3DS, which seems to make DS games a little blurry, the DSi XL screen doesn't have this issue and the image comes out looking perfect and crisp.Otherwise it is quite comfortable to hold, buttons are the right middle ground between being clicky and soft to press. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the glossy surface of the top of the DSi XL, which will get smudged very quickly.Aside from this, I have no regrets getting this, as this has become my default device for playing my old DS games.
