Nintendo DSiXL

[nfn]

Are the graphics larger on the screen or are there more graphics but the same size as DS? In other words, is it worth spending the extra one a dsi for my mother so she can see the screen better (she's not going to use the extras on the dsi it really is just about graphic size).
Thanks

I'm definitely out of my depth here. (I rarely post in the 'Gaming' section. I've never even touched a Nintendo, Playstation, GameBoy, PS3 or anything similar).

However, as I read the relevant web page, the DSiXL provides exactly the same experience as other Nintendo DS devices, except that the screen is bigger (and with a wider viewing angle):

Thank you Chris, I've tried to do the research but without standing in the shop (both devices in hand) I can't get a definative answer - will try to ring them and then insist on box opening tomorrow (day off), Thanks again

you are aware that they will play normal ds games, and the cover underneath will allow you to play advance and normal gameboy games,

I am completely lost when it comes to these machines - thanks for your advice but I just hope the idiot guide is foolproof (or I'll just let my 10 year old open the box and work it out straight away)

The screen is bigger so graphics wil be bigger. Incidentally my mum (77) was looking at my sons normal DSi the other week and couldn't believe how clear it was - she had only really seen game boys etc before and could never see anything on the screen. I think the XL is the way to go - the whole thing is bigger so easier for her to hold as well.

The image is enlarged for the dsxl so some games can appear more pixelated and a bit blurry...its supposedly good for the elderly though.
