Dude, the 3DS XL only lasts 30 minutes longer. I wanted at least double the battery life. And yeah, sure there's going to be a CPP for the XL, but untill Nintendo makes it a standard feature it's going to be rarely implemented in any significant way by developers.

Like I said, I'm going to get one becauce I'm done waiting for all the features I wante4d. I just hope that a year from after I buy the XL I don't regret it when Nintendo does double the battery life and add on a second stick.

Think about it. The 3DS XL has a bigger screen and it still has 30 Min. more than the original 3DS. That's quite the improvement. Plus, I don't think Nintendo can do much better when the 3DS has better graphics than the DS and it has 3D. (PSVita's battery life is about the same, I doubt it could get better.)

I also doubt Nintendo'll ever give the 3DS another circle pad.

The regular 3DS had an add-on accessory that gave you a second circle pad.  I wonder if the XL will be able to use that, or get its own.  Bonus points to anyone who can answer here regarding that.

you can't use the old but famitsu confirmed one for the xl

Yes, I just saw this.  Supposedly no word of North America or European release of it.
