The question is an allusion to the DSi XL's bigger screens.

When I saw the name of this thread I was confused; I thought "I was supposed to be in TalkBack, not the funhouse."

It's 93% bigger as in 93% more; 193% of the current size.

93 percent is double the size, but not quite.

No 200% is double the size

I guess "bigger" adds the original size

I'm sure guys who are balding would say their hair.  93% would be too much for me.  Just like 2% more would be fine.
 
Seriously though does Nintendo not know the really obvious crude answer that someone would answer to this?
 
My answer: my bank account.  Nearly double my savings?  YEAH!!

I would choose this excellent cinnamon roll I am enjoying.

Assuming that girl that wanted her GPA to be 93% bigger attends a school where the max is a 4.0, her GPA is at the highest a 2.07, no DSi for you!

Also the lady that wanted her heart to be 93% bigger, you do realize that if you were to cut your finger a freaking geyser could spring up?

@ the guy that wanted "Love" to be 93% bigger, that is some deep stuff.

The Wii's internal storage.
This would be my PSN Trophy Card, but I guess I can't post HTML in my Signature. I'm the pixel spaceship, and I have nine Gold trophies.

I avoided that because 93% wouldn't even be enough.

Perhaps increasing Nintendo's ability to understand that people don't think in "Blocks" but in Bytes would be nice.

Nintendo is doing this sort of thing too often, I am really starting to get the impression they are doing this intentionally, knowing full well what is going to go through peoples' heads when they read this.

Do you think Nintendo are putting out stuff with the purpose of embarrassing all their fans with tiny penises? Funny thing is that Nintendo is able to get away with their urinary puns, whereas when Sony tried their toilet-based PSP advert campaign it was slated as juvenile.

Haven't you guys seen that episode of Southpark called Chinopokomon?
Where the Japanese lower the American's guard and suspicions by complementing their penis size constantly?

That is exactly what Nintendo is doing here. Playing on Penis envy, bigger is better.

I find it interesting that no one here is saying "the already painfully huge pixels of the DS Lite."

I'm really curious what the size and resolution of Pale's computer screen is with all his pixel talk.

We did this before didn't we? :)

My home machine is 1920x1200.

My work laptop is 1440x900 hooked up to a 1680x1050 in dual monitor. I wish both were bigger.


My PHONE is 480x554.  We could almost fit both ds screens in that for crying out loud.
