illdog Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Ah man, gutted. Dexter loves it. You remember when that front room was tidy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Yeah. I took my DSi XL back to Gamestation today and exchanged it for another. It had a wonky touch screen, only out by about a millimetre, but once seen it couldn't be unseen. Luckily, the guy I saw in Gamestation was as anal as me, and had no problem switching it out for another. I was in two minds about whether to take it back, but I'm very glad that I decided to. The one I have now is spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 in what way was the touch screen wonkey? - i feel the need to check mine as i already have a lite with a dodgy screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 The whole of the screen was still visible, but it was tilted on its axis. The right hand side had dropped, and the left had risen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 thanks Ed. my lite is a bit like that, think the dsi is ok though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manicm Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Got my mitts on one of these today, at work we had a couple returned as it had brain training in german on it, also in english is this normal?? Was very tempted to pick one up myself, going to try and see if the trading manager will let me have one cheaper. On the bigger screens how do the older games look?? are they all pixelated??

retroed Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Yeah, all the DSi XL Euro versions have the German Brain Training as well as the English one. It's easily removed, though. I got rid of it and the DSi Shop instructional video. Older games looks surprisingly good on the larger screens. I couldn't go back to the smaller screens now, so the XL is now the only DS I own.

On the bigger screens how do the older games look?? are they all pixelated?? i think the brain training in german and english is normal, mine had it anyway. occasionally some stuff like text can look a bit pixelated, oddly this seeems to affect the system menus more than anything else, i was worried about this before getting one but its not been a problem so far, the screens are great for most stuff i've tried. edit - beaten to it by Ed!
