Albotas.com has been invited to partake in a contest over at www.dsi-xl.co.uk where one lucky site-owner will win a free DSi XL BEFORE the official release date! This is a DSi XL imported straight from Japan which means I’ll be able to review plenty of import DSi and DSiWare titles!
There’s some really amazing sites involved in this contest and I really don’t think Albotas will win, but please go vote anyway!!!
I’ve been listed in the contest for about week and I’m only now getting around to mentioning it T____T I have some catching up to do, so please go here and vote!
I figure, Albotas gets anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000 visits on a given day. If everyone that visits votes, I may have a fighting chance!!!

If you thought the PSP Go was stupid, get a load of this garbage. Not even a full year after the release of the DSi, Nintendo announced the DSi XL (DSi LL in Japan), which is basically just an oversized DSi for old people. With colors like Wine Red, Dark Brown, and Natural White, I doubt many kids or tech-savvy adults will be putting this on their X-mas lists.

And oh my God look how big the stylus is!
The 4.3″ screens are a whopping 93% larger than the DS Lite and each DSi LL/XL comes pre-loaded with two Brain Training mini games and the DS Easy Dictionary. No word on whether or not the built-in memory will be bigger than the original DSi.
The DSi LL is scheduled to hit Japan on November 21st for ¥20,000 (US$220) and a DSi XL European release is set for Q1 2010.
For $220 this thing had better be able to suck my dick or at least give me a hand job. Otherwise I’m holding out for the DSi XXL Pocket Mini.
Check out this Kotaku post for a list of DS Lite vs DSi vs DSi XL specs.
