PC Advisor have published a review of the Nintendo DSi XL games console. 'Let's start with the Nintendo DSi XL's down sides. It's heavier, weighing in at 314 grams, 22 percent more than the regular DSi (214g). It's bulkier, too, over 1.5 times the volume of the DSi - both wider and longer, although of roughly the same depth (try jamming it in a shirt or trouser pocket at your peril). Combine the last two points and you get a device that's less comfortable to hold, since your fingers have to extend further, while hefting something a quarter again as heavy. While adolescents to adults shouldn't experience fatigue during extended play sessions, we wonder how it'll fare in the grip of younger players.'
