As I said in one of my posts few weeks ago, my 3DS was destroied.
So... Should I get 3DS again, or should I get 3DS XL? Which one is better. I heard that the XL one does not look that good because all the pixels are stretched. Is it true?? Which one are You using?
 
I personally play a 3DS (the small one). But I doubt the game would stretch itself and look ugly.
 
I got the XL, it's just so worth it. It's much more comfortable to play on and the screen is larger.

I thought it would bother me because I'm pretty short so I have very small hands, but nah it's just perfect.
I guess it also depends on your budget but if you have the possibility to get an XL I would suggest you do. :)
 
I have the purple 3ds now. If I was to replace mine, I would upgrade to larger xl. A friend of mine has the LE Animal Crossing 3ds xl. I'm jelly :(
 
There's no pixel stretching at all. I have the Yoshi 3DS XL & I absolutely adore it! It fits well in my hands, they're not the smallest hands in the world but they aren't the largest either lol.

I think it's definitely worth the money for the XL.
 
3DS. I prefer it because it just didn't feel right when it was a 3DS XL. Sure there's the fact that the Home button is defined a bit better but the buttons and the screens just looked out of proportion to me.
 
XL wins for:
Longer Battery life
Bigger screen (Why settle for a little you could get much more!)
Labeled Home Button
much more.

3DS XL is so much better imo! The only games that are stretched are the old DS ones, but apart from that everything is fine. It's very comfortable to hold aswell.
 
I used a regular 3DS for a while before switching to an XL and now my 3DS seems super small. I think it's definitely a matter of personal preference though.

Is there a big difference between battery life? I have a powerpak installed with my 3DS and it can last for 3 days while on. O:
