Pre-orders open for DSi XL in the UK, £159.99 RRP

DSi

The DSi XL has performed pretty well in Japan, especially considering the age of the core hardware.

It's a large-form revamp of the UK's best selling console of all time, with 4.2 inch screens and a pen sized stylus to make it easy to navigate your way around that big, tasty touchscreen.

We heard just the other day that the Wine Red and Dark Brown DSi XL consoles would be going on sale over here on March 5th, and Amazon, Play.com, GAME, GameStation and a host of other online outlets are already offering pre-orders.

The listing for the DSi XL is our first indication of the price that, as expected, is slightly above the ordinary size DSi at an RRP of £159.99. The shops are offering it at (or within a few pence of) £149.99, however, so you can pretty much expect to pay a maximum of 150 quid for your DSi XL, including delivery.

So, who's putting in a pre-order?

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
