is the new 3ds XL worth the extra cash and wait over the 3ds?

Does anyone here have the new 3ds XL? I'd really like to know more about the speaker loudness and the quality of the 3d.

im in the same boat the 40$ isnt a big deal i just wanted to make sure its worth it.  so now i wonder about the screen quality and the 3d effects as the original 3ds really didnt do it for me when i saw it.

Based on some limited play time with the New 3DS XL (I'm in Australia), I personally think the New is a no-brainer, for the screen alone. It is essentially the same 3D effect as in the original, except that it is significantly more stable. I could really only 'break' the 3D effect by viewing from extreme angles. I used to use the 3D turned down and only on some games but I could see myself using this most of the time. Beyond that I didn't notice any other significant differences with the screen but I didn't do a side by side.

 

It's my brother's unit though so I haven't spent enough time with it yet to comment on the speaker quality. 

Some other factors to consider are Amiibo/NFC, better battery and the exclusives that the New system will attract.

Sweet. Thanks for the info!
