I have a white 3ds XL with Mario 3D land thing (which I don't play. wanted mario kart 7 but idk why I didn't pick it ) I would of liked pink but there was only white and black when I got mine (xmas last year)
I got the pink 3DS XL because it's just so cute *u*
It brings out my color, I guess. Also because of the white part in the front. Really, I did choose my system due to its color.
I got it as a birthday present. I asked my mom for a pink 3ds xl, she went to bestbuy but they didn't have the pink one, so she asked me if I still wanted it. I actually said no, because really, the color matters to me a lot. I told her I'll just wait until they have the pink one ~ but instead, she just bought me one online.
If I had the chance to pick any of the colors (limited edition included), I would've loved the Animal Crossing: New Leaf 3DS XL. It's just so pretty ToT But they didn't have it available by the time I was getting mine :c And the ones online are pretty darn expensive so.
Pikachu yellow 3DS XL, Zelda black 3DS, Mario 25th anniversary red DSi. My originally pink DS Lite is now green as my daughter broke the hinge and I had to change the case. My metallic blue GBA SP still gets regular use as well, but the clear pink GBA and turquoise GBC don't get a lot of use any more. All of them were chosen for colour or design.
Didn't affect me in the slightest bit. I got a 3DSXL, though, because I can't stand those stupid tiny screens. I got blue, but I covered it with a skin I made so it doesn't matter, anyways. xD
My original DS Lite was Red ^^ It is a pretty color. I waiting a long time to get the purple one and I'm glad I did. It was that or the Pink XL, but I'm glad I went with purple
I got my 3DS a few months before the XL was announced (much to my displeasure, let me tell you. I waited quite a while to get mine specifically because I was trying to avoid a repeat of getting a DS only for a bigger version to come out).
However I'm happy with my choice because I have a beautiful Aqua Blue 3DS.
I have the ACNL XL and it's my favourite thing ever. :3
And I've also got a black standard 3DS from way back whenever it was. With a dodgy R button and if you squeeze the corner it turns off.
I had the original blue/black 3DS, but lost that.. somewhere. So I am currently borrowing my nieces pink one until I pick myself up an XL. Which should hopefully be within the next week or so. She's too busy messing with her new stuff to notice I haven't given it back yet.
Had a black 3ds but it started dying, like at once and I had to charge it all the the time despite having very low brightness and only sound while I fish and such, so. Bought a white 3ds XL last week and loving it. Have to use my old SD card though since all stuff didn't copy over while transferring but no biggie
Yes, I picked mine based on colour. I have the Gold Zelda 3DS XL.
The regular colours don't really appeal to me >.>
Plus, I wanted a 3DS where it was limited edition just because it can sorta be unique in a way
Awww me too :3 At the same time my online Japanese friend was begging me to get ACNL to play with her. Fell in love when I saw the 3DS XL. I know I have to get it :B
Jealous! I wanted it so badly, but unfortunately during the time they had it for sale, paying my college bills was the higher priority. I am tempted to get one still, but it's annoying how expensive (understandably) they are now for the bundles.
