3DS has the 3D gimmick (which can be turned off) and also plays all games that the normal DSi would play. It's also a lot more expensive ($250).

DSi XL has a huge screen, which is a plus. I would get that over the regular DSi if you decide to not get the 3DS.

You'd certainly save a lot of money if you bought a dsi / dsi xl right now or as the 3ds is released. I'd be weary of a used one though, as mine has a few issues with charging and the games freeze if it's tapped in a certain way.

I personally have been waiting for the 3ds ever since the introduction of the system, so I'm going to be all over that. But for most people it's not their thing or not worth it to them. (I do think it was announced it could play 3d movies from netflix in the future. Not really a winning option for me, but it is interesting none the less.)

My recommendation for most people would still be with the dsi, because lets face it, you have a whoooooooole lot of games to choose from, the 3ds barely has any and when it's released I won't actually have any games I want for it!

See I like the 3d gimmick so i kinda would like to get that. But I almost would rather wait till A. They have more games. B. come out with the 3d xl lol.

@gut funk my dsi has that same problem. I bought it new and have never dropped it or anything. Sadly I bought it close to release day and warranty is gone now =( Not a huge deal but sucks to be playing something and it dies from a wrong bump. (happened several times while playing pokemon black >.<)

DSI XL $169.99 DS 3d $249.99

I advise to wait until the 3ds comes out to see if they lower the price of the dsi.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
