Happy with it as long as White comes to America. No White NoA? No buy for NinPie.
(That rhymed! )

According to this video (about 1 min in) Reggie says it will be available in red and blue. It doesn't seem like white will be available at launch, although I totally agree with you the white one looks pretty slick.

I KNOW!

I was like, "Reggie you better say, "...and also White"." But it never happened. :o

Hopefully it'll come out soon after.

BAD->

1) A subjective statement, depends on the person, I carry a messenger bag and could easily carry that
2) Only in Japan for some reason, not true for NA
3) Same pixel density should just give you a bigger picture, should not stretch anything out
4) Another subjective statement, I've got a black 3DS but originally had an aqua, I'll get a Blue 3DS XL

If the XL has the same number of pixels as the 3DS, then each individual pixel would be bigger than that of the regular 3DS. Meaning, the larger screen would not look as sharp as the smaller screen. 

For example, if you have a regular digital photo, and you strech it to make it bigger, it will not look as good as the smaller picture

If the pixel density has the same pixels per inch as the 3DS, that would mean the pixels are the same size as on the 3DS, which means more pixels, which means  higher resolution. If the ppi is lower, then the big screen would not boast higher resolution.

If the bigger screen does not have higher resolution, the visuals on the screen will be stretched.

Reggie said the bigger screen would make netflix more enjoyable. It won't be enjoyable with a screen with less ppi. Hopefully it has better resolution. I really really hope it does

I don't mean it would have the same pixels in a larger screen, but the same pixel density, which means it would be porportionately more pixels for the extra screen space, therefore the pixel density is the same and the image should simply be bigger without any stretching.

Good:
1. Better battery life
2. 4Gb SD card instead of the 2Gb one
3. Much bigger screens
4. Very good price

Bad:
1. Too big for a portable device
2. No base and battery charger included?
3. Same resolution on a bigger screen
4. Less appealing colours?

Its up to you to decide, imo the good beats the bad...

BAD->
2) Only in Japan for some reason, not true for NA

But true for Europe. We pay more (199€>199$), but we get less.

well tbh the AC adpter affair is not that important, my only concern about the system is that loses the portability and just maybe the resolution issue, i mean paying 10$ more is not that of a BIG deal you know....



@Significant_leap I don't think anyone has a problem buying the AC adaptar, but they are pissed that they still have to buy one regardless. Stuff like that should be included no matter what. That's a fail on NOE and NOJ's part. I don't know how NOA got it right, you know since people always bashed them, but I'm glad they did. I think the same goes for buying those memory cards on Vita, most of the stuff you need requires a memory card(even most games), but it's not provided with the system.

Poke
but they are aware that a lot of gamers own one, and more than one in many cases, so if theres an area where costs can be reduced its right there...



I guess you're right about that.
