Reviewed in Canada on July 26, 2021
I don’t usually write reviews but this seller is amazing. Wasn’t expecting much as this is a used dsi XL and it’s been forever since I’ve seen one. But super fast shipping arrived in 3 days, in great condition everything works came with charger, buttom screen is a little scratched but that’s to be expected on an old used console. It even came with a lego Batman GAME! I was not expecting that! Not sure if I was the only one who received a game with it and got lucky but I am absolutely more than happy with this purchase!
