NEW Nintendo 3DS (& XL)

Because the hype train is strong.
And I think they were gonna practice their Japanese with it? I'm not entirely sure on that.

I'm going with the XL since gamestop is having their promo, I want larger screen. I don't care about face plates. 
125$, can't beat that. But I can't decide on a color.

i'm upset about this as well! it sux you can't use faceplates with the XL version, i would have bought it if the smaller version was being released here but i guess i'm just going to stick with my regular XL...

Yep, faceplates are only for the normal new 3DS, the XL doesn't support faceplates.

it's going to be so expensive in portugal, i can only imagine! the XL is around 200 euros! s i g h, which is roughly the same price i can pay for a PS3.

I got it to compliment me learning Japanese, you know to practice my reading and writing but then I started a new job in which I have zero time to continue learning Japanese (It doesn't really match up with my career choice like some of the other things I'm teaching myself) so it was worth the money when I had the time to learn but now I don't have the time- and will have even less time starting next month when my hours are being increased- it is just gathering dust. I am sad about my decision since I really want to continue learning Japanese but, hey, the money instead can go towards the patisserie course I am going to study and getting new equipment for that.
I didn't waste much money on it, I only got 3 games on there, 2 of which I was given the money for. Btw, I would not waste my money on a console which is in a language I can't read, I'm not that careless with money!

Game has them up for ?149.99, ?179.99 and the Monster Hunter limited edition ?209.99, though you can get money off if you trade in an old style 3DS.
Not sure about elsewhere.

Why is it exactly that people want faceplates so bad?
You can go into mostly any store or ebay and buy snap on plates that are essentially the same.

Those look uglier and make the system bulkier.

I'm perfectly fine without the face-plates, to be honest. I don't really use my 3DS as a fashion statement or anything. They're cool little additions, but I think people wouldn't be nearly as hyped about them if it wasn't made obvious that Japan already has them and there's no sign of them in other places yet. We always want what we don't have.
That said, I'll probably end up buying a New 3DS XL. I've never upgraded from the original 3DS and this seems like a good time to do so. It depends on tax returns, though. Nintendo blew giant holes in my wallet last year.

I don't think so. They're about a half a mm thick.
Not only that but skins are essentially the same thing as well. Skins peel off, just aren't generally reusable.
Depends on the case, some are really thick.
Skins peel off naturally, so they only look good for about a month and then you'll have to replace them unless you like peeled-up stickers on your system.
faceplates aren't that big of a deal, i like the size of the regular one. ANDI REALLY WANTED A WHITE 1 gafr
That or the nice blue one japan has (of course). Black and red? No thanks.
