Nintendo DSi XL – I’ve Found the Best Price UK Price

Please read this…
The stores listed below offer free delivery. Watch out for a few of stores (not listed here) who advertise cheaper prices but catch you with a large delivery charges or those that only give you the advertised prices if you sign up to their credit arrangements. Buy your Nintendo DSi XL today and you can be playing your brand new console tomorrow! :-)

Click here for Amazon’s special DSi XL deal which includes a free accessory kit, free delivery and a game for £10 (the best deal around if you ask me).




Hopefully this price comparison will be useful for anyone who has decided they want a Nintendo DSi XL and now just need to decide where to buy. DSi XL usually comes with free shipping since most online stores pay the postage on items over a certain price. There are exceptions though such as Asda who charge £5 for delivery and Argos (who charge around the same amount but I can’t remember how much to be honest and I’m typing this on a train so can’t go to their website and check).

The list now contains lots of Nintendo DSi XL bundles. Because of the way the comparison chart works, it doesn’t track certain DSi XL bundles where the buyer needs to select the items they want (it only works when the bundle is ordered as a single item on the website). As far as I know this only affects the Amazon offer where you can get a choice of games and choice of different coloured accessory packs for just £10 more.

If you’re wondering where I go to buy DSi XL consoles (and you probably aren’t but I’ll tell you anyway), I got my first one from Play-Asia and the second from Amazon. I don’t advice buying from Play-Asia since I only went there to get the console before it came out in the UK. If you do buy from there, the console’s menus will be in Japanese and you will only be able to change the language to other Asian languages. On top of that you will have to pay an import tax of around £30. Now the DSi XL is available the UK, there really isn’t any reason to order from their anymore unless you’re very keen to play Japanese exclusive DSiware from the DSiShop (while the DSiWare is region locked, cartridges can be used in any region).

My English DSi XL.

When I bought a UK DSi XL I ordered it from Amazon. As I mentioned above they have a good deal where you get a game and an accessory pack for just £10 extra. Unfortunately the offer wasn’t available when I made my order but, lucky for you, it is now. Actually the reason I ordered from Amazon was because they are very reliable and 99% of the time have the cheapest offers on. On top of that they do a great pre-order deal where you pay the lowest price between the time of placing your order and the release date. It’s not much use to anyone looking to buy Nintendo DSi XL consoles now as it has already been released but useful to know if you’re planning on pre-ordering games or anything in the future.

One final thing I want to say about the DSi XL, which a lot of people are asking about, is if they are compatible with R4 and R4i cards. The good news for people wishing to use their extra large console to play homebrew games (and please only use the R4i for that, any other uses are illegal and immoral and hurt the industry we love) is that the version 1.4 compatible R4i card I bought worked perfectly well. I would go as far as saying drawing apps like Colors DS benefit more from the increased screen size than most commercial games.

Are you buying online? Which colour are you getting and where from?

    N-Europe.

    It’s incredibly quick with new news, and you often read stuff there that you won’t find anywhere else. Their ‘editorial voice’ is hilarious too.

    I like it because there are a lot of sprites there.I also like the name Boo Mansion,because it gives me a “Bowser feel”,and I feel really cool when I have that feel.Also, I feel refreshed when I look at a sprite of one of the Shroobs.I also like to look at boss sprites,too.Anyway,I like Boo Mansion alot!

    Ultimario :
    Boo Mansion
    It has a nice a decent-sized community, and the Trading Card Game (currently being revamped) is always fun. I’ve been a member there for at least a year, and I personally think it’s a great site.

    i vote for the same, boo mansion.

    It’s easy to upload fan-fiction, and even though the search function could be better, it has a wide range of different stories, so just about everyone can find a Pokemon fan-fiction that they like.

    I’ve been a member here for a year now and this is without doubt the BEST forum I’ve ever posted on, period. Mod’s do their job quickly and efficiently, knocking out SPAM and moving threads to appropriate boards. The community itself is very large, gaining new members everyday. Information given (such as HGSS and Gen V) is accurate with sources given. There is a VERY active Wifi board, which supports those who wish to take their competitive play to the next level.

    Also, there is an “Other” section where you can talk about other video games, TCG’s, anime, manga, TV shows, movies, etc.

    Defiantly worth looking at if you need a good Pokemon forum, and all around amazing, welcoming community.

    This site has been serving folks for a long time; it’s always up-to-date on the latest software, and there’s really no reason to have to go searching elsewhere for the data files for any flashcart you might have.

    I have to vote for the “linFox Domain”. My reason being that this site contains the most extensive amount of helpful information on Nintendo DS, DSL and DSi on the web. And the most information on flashcarts out there bar none! And not to many sites out there offer one on one help without joining a forum either.

    Simply put… linFox Domain ROCKS!!

    Not only is it a beautiful site, with a memorable and easily accessed URL, Zelda Universe is extremely informative and well-informed, keeping me up to date on Twitter with all sorts of Zelda-related news (including this contest!) and allowing me to access their vast media archive. By far my one and only Zelda go-to resource.
