iFixit, the guys who get their hands on the newest gadgets and hardware, and completely gut it, detailing in the process all the components the particular gadget is made of. This time, it’s the trusty DSI XL. Check out the full tear down here.

Nintendo has announced that the big brother of the DS family, the DSi XL, will launch in Europe on March 5. However, don’t expect the usual white color, as Nintendo will only launch with two colors, “Wine Red” and “Dark Brown”, and from the looks of it, we’d prefer Wine Red.

Nintendo’s new, extra large DS, called DSi XL (or LL, in Japan), has sold 103,000 units during its first two days in Japan, which is less than the original DSi sold, but still better than the recently launched PSP Go. The original DSi sold 170,000 units when it launched, and the PSP Go, its main competitor, sold only 28,000 units on launch a month ago.

The Nintendo DSi XL isn’t even out in North America yet and already the guys over at PC Watch have taken the time to completely break down the device giving us a closer look at its internals. To be fair, the handheld is out in Japan as the Nintendo DSi LL, which is the device these guys are actually breaking down.

The sites completely in Japanese but you’re going ot have to head over there if you want to check out the new extra large DSi in all of its broken down glory.

Earlier today Nintendo officially announced the DSi XL, a Nintendo DSi with 4″ screens as opposed to the pervious 3.25″ screens. However, at the time we had no idea when we could expect the device to hit store shelves in the United States.

Now, a Nintendo spokesperson has come forth to let us know that the DSi XL will in fact be made available in the States in Q1 of 2010. Unfortunately, we still don’t know how much it will cost but as soon as we know we will let you know.

Nintendo has gone ahead and confirmed various rumors of a new DSi with larger screens, by officially revealing the DSi XL, which the console will be called in Europe. The new console will have 4″ screens instead of the regular 3.25″, and the whole system will be substantially larger (as you can see above) and will even include a full sized stylus. So far the console has only been announced for Japan (as the DSi LL) and Europe (as the DSi XL), but we expect a North American announcement to come shortly.
