Purchases

I want to brag a bit and since the only other people that are likely to read this blog are DSi / Art Academy owners like myself, I thought he would be a good place to it.

Recently I purchased a DSi XL mainly because I wanted the larger sized screens for drawing with Art Academy. Drawing with Art Academy is still my favourite pass-time well over a year after downloading the program. Having a larger 'canvas' is wonderful!!  I also use the XL for playing games, and it's so nice to be able to really see what I'm doing. (At 45, my eyes aren't the best.)

And I also just pre-ordered a 3DS. Whoop!! I feel a bit greedy wanting a 3DS so soon after getting my XL, but it just sounds so darn cool that I know I'm going to want one desperately once they're available. I do worry about how well I can see on the smaller size of the touch screen, and if I'll like playing games in 3D. But I think the other features of the 3DS will be nice to have. The 3DS will be my 'portable' gaming machine, because the XL really is a bit too bulky for travelling. But I know I'll still use my XL for Art Academy and playing puzzle-type games where I really need to see the screens. Plus it's good for checking the internet late at night when I my eyes are tired.

I can't wait!!
