Listed below are my post details that I provided when the Nintendo
XL release was first announced.
I assigned TechBoy (my tween son) the job of taking the Nintendo DSi
XL on a test run. He has a way with words(short and to the point) so I
asked him for a sentence that I could use on my blog.
TechBoy’s Take: “Have you ever herd about the DSi XL? Its
the latest Nintendo system since the DSi. What I like about the DSi XL
is it has a larger screen, when you go back to using the regular
DSI it fells like playing on a cell phone.”
He enjoys playing on the larger screen, using the photo/sound
manipulation tools and the camera. Overall – there is not going back for
TechBoy – he now only uses the Nintendo DSi XL. But that is good news
for his 7yr old brother – who was the lucky one to get his Nintendo DSi.
And TechBoy’s brother is very happy to finally have the DSi – so all is
good in the TechFamily house!
