DSi XL is arriving at Europe and, probably, in the Americas next month. Plenty of people stated that the XL version is useless and there's no reason for buying it unless you're some sort of someone's grandpa/grandma. In fact, I was against the reease of this version since the first moment I saw it, but I'm starting to change my mind, I don't know why. My brother is bringing my DSi from Canada next week (I still have the original version with Metroid Prime: Hunters demo), and I don't really think I'll be tempted to buy the larger version.

But, for some people here, I think it's good to start this topic and I wanted to know from you what are good reasons for buying (or not buying) DSi XL. I mean, larger screen only doesn't count, I want to know in which way it's better (duh, like anyone didn't know already =P) or worse. What kind of environment is the best for playing it, what else it brings besides the screen, you know, things that actually will make people think whether they should buy it or not.

Well, be free to say anything about DSi XL, as long as you don't complain (ou acclaim) about it without reason.
