Now they're going back to how it was only slightly upgraded?! It's now bigger than the PSP and much bigger than the PSP Go. http://www.nintendoeverything.com/?p=28173

I need to know if this is worth buying when it comes out in the U.S.

I don't see why gamers get every new freakin' updated DS... all the same to me. That said, I'm obviously not gonna buy this XP I don't understand why they keep making new DS's and why they sell so well... they only have a few good games (Phoenix Wright series, The World Ends With You, 358/2 Days, Final Fantasy III), the rest are crap IMO. >__>

Xbox Live Gamertag: MetalSyX	It's pretty cool, though it does seem to be similar to size to the original DS, though perhaps thinner and lighter. The larger screens are nice, for sure. I'm assuming it doesn't have backwards compatibility like its brother, so it's still a no buy for me. XD

And since it doesn't, Nintendo isn't gettin' my money.

So why would you buy a new one if it's basically the same? It's useless and a waste of money.

They are tons of other good games other then that. P.S. I crossed out the games that I thought were bad or disappointing. Pianta I still use my old grey fat DS and I'm still happy with it. So why would you buy a new one if it's basically the same? It's useless and a waste of money. I want to buy a new one because my DS Phat's touch screen is slightly off which is a pain in games like Phantom Hourglass. Anyway, I want to hear more about the XL but hopefully it will make the DSi's price will slightly go down so I can buy a new DS.

Let's take a count... DS, DS Lite, DSi... fourth DS? Am I missing any? I feel like I am. Either way, FOUR different DS models? Come on, Nintendo, really? Can't we just put out a new handheld, maybe even with backwards DS-compatibility or even a Virtual Console-like download service...? I'm getting sick of seeing all these freakin' DS's. >_>

Nintendo does have a habbit of releasing the same handheld with minor tweaks, its still not right.

Generally, they all look different, and better. Now all they're doing with the DS is tacking on bigger screens and removing backwards computability

That's a predetermined thing.
