Dang! That is one sexy handheld.

I'm going to have to work overtime shifts but 3DS XL you will be mine!

At least you won't need another job.


Ha ha ha! Thanks Ninpie, that made my day. :)

Lol, I'm glad you got it!


$599 US dollars!



I'm an advocate for motion controls, Nintendo, and Kicking freaking Toad to the Moon!

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

Well... the 3DS XL is larger than the 3DS so I'm expecting yes, you can use the same CPP. *sarcasm*

Hmm, I really want the XL but I'm also waiting to see what else the Wii U has to offer to decide where my money goes. Dang the decisions! Just Dang!

This silver color is also very cool

It's amazing how US has the two worst colors and Japan the 2 best...
I'll have to learn to love the blue or red one. No way I'm postponing this purchase

Answer is actually no, to the regular disk addon working with the XL.  That is why another one is in the works.
