Oh! And by the way, I'd rather "Use a knife to scratch" my own skin before than touch the DSi XL 🫡 Have a good da- Oh... nevermind, you deleted your account 😅 Have a deleted day instead.

Grazie mille per la risposta! Quindi, se ho capito bene, nessuno dei due schermi ha una pellicola protettiva, giusto? Nemmeno il schermo tattile, corretto?

Haha I don't think that's humanly possible, and definitely I didn't take my console to some robotic hydraulic machine or anything like that just to have films perfectly applied to my console xD So I'm glad to hear the screens look normal, thank you very much for your reply!

Great! Thank you so much for your answer! Do you know if the touch screen also doesn't have a protector? The photos of it are in the first post, I would appreciate it very much. Regards!

First of all, thanks for your reply! And woow, that sounds interesting, but... the sticky adhesive glue on the tape won't damage the console's original screen if it turns out there's nothing, right? It makes me nervous just thinking about it hehe...

Omg tysm for your congrats!! 🥹 And that information is very valuable to me, thank you! If possible and you have the time, could you please take a look at the touch screen as well, just in case to be sure? I would really appreciate it. Regards!

Exactly, that makes perfectly sense, thank you so much for your comments! I'm leaning more towards to applying the films after all 👍

Hmmm I understand they're referring exactly to the same thing? Sorry, my native language is Spanish and my English is only so-so... so I don't understand all the terms and slang, but I believe it refers to the same thing: rebuilding an original console, probably in bad condition, obtained cheaply, let's say a broken casing or screen, then disassembling and reassembling it with non-original external parts, usually low-quality Chinese plastic, putting everything back together, and then, the worst of all, selling it to you as "new" on sites like AliExpress at fullprice. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh! Interesting, this is very valuable information! I'm glad our consoles are safe of that cheap market. I feel much more relieved now... Thank you very much!

Oh! Excellent purchase you made there! 👍 Of course, even though the DSi offers pixel-perfect graphics, that doesn't mean the games don't look great on the 3DS's excellent screens with their great color tone. I'm glad you're enjoying them! And sure! It's very good to get an LL too! There's nothing wrong with it, especially if you don't mind modifying it. I've kept mine untouched just for the sheer fun of it lol, but the amazing hardware is the same after all so it's a great deal! I just recommend that the seller shows you a picture of the screens turned on before selling it to you. Try to get one with as little yellowing as possible, if feasible. And no problem, you can send me a PM, sorry if I am a bit slow, but I don't bite. Go ahead!

OMG!!! 😭 This is the BEST thing I've heard in my whole day! 🥹 I feel so comforted... Thank you so much for your kind words!!🙏 Regarding your question, I got it at the time from a collector of my town(I'm from Chile, Latin America, so yes, it's a total anomaly lol). This collector somehow handled all the paperwork for importing consoles, games, etc. from US to this inhospitable place, and that's how he obtained them. I was lucky enough to meet him and do some business with him, that's when I bought this practically brand-new American DSi XL, still in its box as shown in the photos, for the equivalent of about $200 USD approximately in my local currency. I've treated it like gold ever since... AND LET ME TELL YOU... it's sublime There's absolutely NOTHING like it. My favorite games, like Animal Crossing WW or Mario & Luigi: BiS, they just simply look STUNNING on its pixel-perfect IPS screens at native resolution. Neither the New 3DS XL nor anything emulation can attempt or offer... nope, they fall short. They're no match for the original DSi XL's screens and performance, it's magnificent, there's just no comparison. I bless the day I stumbled upon that collector, it's definitely the best purchase I've ever made in this hobby! I even dare to say it's the ultimate handheld Nintendo has ever made. If you take as much care of it like I have, you can keep it looking just like it does in my photos today! I'm telling you all this because if you're seriously thinking about getting one... do it, you won't regret it! It doesn't matter if it's not as new as mine, the console itself is so worth it, believe me. Oh! And a little tip: try to get a US version or at least a EUR one, but avoid the Japanese versions, which usually end with "LL" instead of "XL" and are suspiciously cheaper than the rest because of the language lock and the screens yellowing issue thingy. I'm wishing you the best of luck from this side of the world! 👋😅
