I'm waiting.

A 4 hour battery life just isn't enough for me, and I don't like the idea of the screen touching. 3DS is a beautiful system, but I'll wait for a redesign.

Besides Fire Emblem isn't coming out until 2012 in Japan, and that would mean 2013 WW. If that game doesn't get localized, then there is no "must have" 3DS title for me yet. Paper Mario is cool, but everything else I can live without, or play on Wii.

yes i bought my daughter one on release if they would give early aopters the add-on it would be nice, i was wanting another 3ds for myself and i still might buy one around xmas time when were gettin the new games coming out, but i still see a redesign around the corner perhaps after the new year sometime so im in two minds maby to wait and see

No, I don't see the point in waiting based on what the rumours suggest it will be. Adding a second stick won't make a difference to the games I want to play.

Already got a 3DS. It's the best shit out!! Also I'm not a poor stingy bastard so if they do bring a 2nd circle pad redesign out which i seriously doubt i will get that too. Life is too short to be a poor stingy bastard.

Yes... i will buy anything Nintendo will release, pre-order on the day!

If they release the 3DS XL, I will buy it.

"If you hadn't noticed by now, today is the 16th, and those rumors of an updated DS being announced today are looking pretty slim,"

This was before the DS lite. It dates January 16th 2006

DS lite redesign announced January 26th just ten days later.

I don't trust Nintendo!
