[quote name='Persona Eater']Do you think the Pikachu 3DS XL is going be flip-able? Should I bite at $169.99? Or should I just get a original for $130?[/QUOTE]
You mean $159.99. If you are going to buy one go ahead get the the XL.
Not only that I've noticed a lot of pikachu themed consoles do retain some resell value if you want to sell later on. I.E. n64 hey you pikachu edition, pikachu gameboy sp and gameboy color
