Tell me about it. You might want to just bite the bullet and buy it. It's not getting any cheaper. I just won a copy on eBay and wasn't cheap but not too crazy. A reseller near me had it at 90 bucks and I thought that was crazy. Turns out that was a good price compared to what it's going for now.

I have bid on it sooo many times, I thought it was nuts when it was going for 60 and my max bids were like 50 or so, now that would be a steal. I'm torn, because I dont know if by some miracle the market will dip and it will get reasonable again, but in the mean time its annoying me just not having it.

I would just keep it.

Well, my flipping plans are more "take it by my local game shop that deals in retro and new stuff and see how much they'll give me in credit"

I do have both a 3DS and a DS Lite, so this DSiXL is redundancy on top of redundancy.

I'll admit, though, I've got a few unnecessary game systems around, especially in the handheld category.... I've got multiple original "gray brick" Gameboys, which are all kind of pointless since I have a Gameboy Color... which is kind of pointless since I own a Gamboy Advance... Both the original and SP. I also have a GB Micro which, of course, can't run the pre-Advance games, but is kind of unnecessary in and of itself.

I could honestly part with all of those except the SP and the 3DS without any real problems. (...Except I'd have to use a Gameshark to reorient Kirby's Tilt 'n Tumble :P). But I keep those other handhelds around because of nostalgia and sentimentality... and because they aren't worth much, unlike this DSiXL.

I've also got two Gamegears (one non-functional and one semi-functional)... and I bought a PS1 loooong after I had a PS2 because it was $3 at a garage sale.

... Back to the topic at hand. I wasn't impressed with the DSiXL initially (this is the first one I've spent any real time with), as its menus just made the display look poorly pixelated... But after playing Thor (a sprite-based beat 'em up by Wayforward) on it a while, I am having some second thought about trading it in.

It'll all come to how much they offer me for it.

Mick Dundee:
is EVO an rpg? i think its listed as one but im not sure...if its not then its a good thing to knock off my "want" list

wiggy:
Sort of. I'd suggest giving it a go via an emulator before making a decision either way.

AO007:
I have a PSOne... which is pointless when I have two PS2s and a PS3 on top of that. I also have a Game Boy Micro when I already have an SP and a DS Lite.

Micro is probaly the only system that's for "Collective purposes", while PSOne is more a case of I can't find a good offer. :/
