Get the XL it's just much better The original feels more expensive But the XL's Huge screen competes with the Vitas Big screen.


Says the person who has never played Sonic Racing Transformed with the 3D ON and all the way up.

The bigger screen is NOT needed in 3D Movies & 3D games.

Only condensed flat 2D images need a big screen, like a 6 to 10 inch for handhelds & IMAX size for 2D movies in theaters & I guess 75 inch will do for 2D TVs.

For 3D Movies you just need 200 inch screen or so, and for 3D TVs well a 42 inch might do it, and for Handhelds 3.53 inch is enough for modern 3D games like Luigi's Mansion & Fire Emblem & Sonic Racing transformed & Crashmo & Dillon's Rolling Western & so fort.

The only thing keeping me from buying the XL is the EXTREME 3D effect in the new 3DS games, like Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, which I have already downloaded the 3D trailer from the eShop.
