i am going to america march/april and i would like to buy a dsi.i see that there is a new version to be released the XL.
i have a few questions as a newbie
are the games region specific as are dvds etc
will the console be different in the us.
i accept that the charger will be us but can that be used with a uk adapter.
any help, please advise
.
thanks

The DSI is region coded. I believe this will only affect DSi specific games. Original DS games should work.

The DS cartridges are region free.

The DSI only cartridges and DISware games will be/are region locked.

You can use a UK power adaptor without worry.

The only benefit of the XL is that it's larger. If you want more game variety and a better battery life, go with the DS Lite.

If you want better battery life get the DSi XL as it has a much better battery life, presumably they can fit a bigger battery in.

As 99,9% of DS games work on the DSi how do you get more game variety with a DS Lite?

You can get 2000mAh extended battery packs for the DSi from eBay for about £5, works a treat with mine, much more play time.
