Taking a gaming break, and DSi XL

by

Recently I’ve been taking a break from gaming for a few reasons. I’m making a concerted effort to spend less money on games I won’t play enough to justify, and just games in general.

However, there are plenty of games that I am interested in that are coming out often so it’s not like I’ll have nothing to play, far from it in fact. I just want to spend more time on other interests and only spend money on the games I know I’ll love as opposed to taking risks on games I’m not sure about, and buying based on purely hype.

I also want to mention that in the end I did order a DSi XL. It’s been a long time since I bought my DS lite and I almost can’t look at it anymore because of how old school it feels. That, and the nice large screens on the XL make it hard to resist.

I’m not sure why but I’m really tempted by the DSi XL. It’s just hard to look at my DS lite anymore because it feels so low tech by comparison. It’s partly imagining playing SoulSilver on the new one that gets me excited.

That and any possible good DSiWare games if they ever release anything. The price is also surprisingly decent. I expected it to go for considerably more than the DSi but it’s actually not too bad, especially for someone who hasn’t upgraded yet.

The colour selection is a bit limited and I would have preferred a white one, but the dark brown looks quite cool.
