Such an awesome looking 3DS. I must stay strong and resist and wait for a 3DS XL.

Why? The upscaling?

Larger screen, longer battery life, sleeker design.

Not sure how anyone could think the regular 3DS is better than the XL unless you have small hands.

Gosh I want this, I was actually hoping it won't get a state side release because I knew I would buy it. Than again only time will tell...

Most likely people who are saying 3ds is better than 3ds xl are the ones who cant upgrade.. Or just refuse to because they mad at nintendoooo. (even though we already knew from the beggining they would release a new 3ds design).

Still waiting for my Pikachu or Charizard 3DS XL.

This.....I would have imported that Charizard one if it wasnt for the damn region lock. I love Pokemon edition consoles, I'v already had like 4 or 5 different ones.

The 3DS is only good with a Nyko Power Pak.

As somebody who has the means to upgrade, I have 0 desire to get the XL. I've played on a friend's and between the stretched screen, and poor sound, and the overall design (looks more toy-like than I'd like - although the start/select are much better) I can see why many still prefer the original.

thank god this wasn't XL. i just bought a 3DSXL and would have seriously jumped out my 3rd story window to my demise

I just bought a 3DS XL a week ago so yeah, unless it was a really special edition model that is a must have, I'm happy to stick with my system. I am very excited for Fire Emblem though so I can't wait for Feb. 4th

I recently upgraded to the XL and I have no problems with it at all other than the light blue color. I haven't noticed a huge difference in sound (and I prefer to use headphones, anyway), and I absolutely love the matte finish (no more finger smudges, finally! Not to mention it just feels much, much nicer to me), the more responsive circle pad (in my experience, at least - my old 3DS's circle pad was a little finicky at times), and the start/select/home buttons.

Can't see myself going back.

Hmmm.... 3ds talk always gets me drooling. Anyone know the trade in value at GS for a DS Lite?

The poor sound is due to surround sound being set by default. It's easily remedied by setting it to mono.

Actually this is supposed to be an Xl. According to Nintendoeverything.com it is a rumor but it is a 3DS XL bundle. Been waiting on something like this to get an Xl. We should know soon. Love my original 3Ds but a bigger screen and the design is just awesome. Hopefully this is Xl.

Sorry must have misread or something they have clarified that it is regular and not Xl. Please disregard post thanks
Should have been an Xl and it would sell much better
