Got my 3DS XL!

[jebug29]

The first comparison pictures I ever saw, I figured the thing was almost as big as a game gear! XD

Would you say it's worth the ?80 to upgrade?
Asking because I'm thinking about getting XL

*Is on the edge about getting it.*

I am going to wait to see if they bring a nice color that I like to the XL.
Also trying to save for more 3DS games right now so not really focused on the XL yet.

One question I'd like to ask is whether the sweet-spot is any bigger? The one thing that always stops me using the 3D function too often is that I have the tendency to move the console while I play.

What is a Sweet-Spot?

What is a Sweet-Spot?

Its a place where its "perfect."

Say you have a all-around tennis racket. Usually, the sweet spot will be in the middle. So if you hit the ball in the middle, it will be a really strong hit.

For a 3DS, everyones viewing sweetspot is different.

I've been holding off buying a 3DS. I'll probably end up buying the 3DS XL, but my only worry is that my hands are smaller than the average person's and I haven't seen the XL on display anywhere to test it out yet. >:

Hope you're enjoying your purchase.

That's an amazing deal, I wouldn't pass that up if I were you...
Getting ?10-?20 off a console is hard to come by sometimes, hey, even ?5.00 off a console is not easy to come by in some places.

The sweet spot is not bigger but due to the bigger screens the 3D effect seems enhanced. Futhermore, the XL is even smaller than the very old DS! The screens are huge and beautiful, you have to see it yourself before you believe it I'm still waiting for the white model!!

My local retailer has the XL on display. I just wish they'd swap Pilotwings Resort with a different game demo. I've been to other stores and they have demos of MK 7 and Super Mario 3D Land in their consoles.

I still play the DSi XL, so I got used to the 3DS XL's weight pretty quickly. The graphics looked much better, too.

No, lol. I meant it would cost me ?80 but i'd have to turn my 3DS in.
I really wish it costed ?80 though :/

^_^ Gamestop and EB Games are doing the 3DS XL trade in thing like they did for the 3DS.
Not sure if that helps anyone thinking of getting the 3DS XL.
I think it's $60-100 off if you bring in the 3DS.
I'll have to get a flyer and take a picture of the price list for trade-ins to show everyone unless someone else does it first.
