I hated holding the DSi. For whatever sick reasons God had, he decided to mold my hands in a very 'unique' way. My palms are huge, and my fingers are the size of macaronis. Making a fist would be almost impossible as my fingers - which are so short - don't overlap when closing my hands. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but still... the DSi did my hand no justice, which is why I'm excited to hear that the DSi XL finally has a release date and price announced for North America. Yea... I'm a fan of gargantuan tech toys.

At its Media Summit today, Nintendo announced that it's hefty-sized DSi XL would be releasing on March 28 in North America with a meaty price of $189.99 (a $20 increase over it's undersized sibling) to match its size. The DSi XL comes with a much larger screen and a much more adult-friendly stylus. With the Nintendo Media Summit continuing today, we're hoping to hear of some new titles that might accompany it with its launch.
