Nintendo 3DS XL Discussion Thread

How can I put this in my pocket if I can barely fit in my regular 3DS.. I'm not getting this.

Hmmm. Maybe if EB Games gives a trade-in discount. It'd have to be a pretty good one though.

That's a good point. Girls are lucky to have purses :/ At least I'll have a backpack to and from school, but not other places

Traceguy, you are not honestly telling me that you carry your 3DS in your pants or jacket, are you? I understand that the XL is big und doesn't support the idea of it being portable, but even the first 3DS is like a rock! I always carry it in my backpack.

Not always, but sometimes. Around the house though. I don't bring it shopping with me, and at school I have it in my bag

I don't think I will be getting a Nintendo 3DS XL on the official release date, but I happen to know the store manager of my local video game retail store and he said that since he knows me well, I will be able to preorder it if I do want it and he will save me a Nintendo 3DS XL for as long as I need as I have more important things to pay out for right now.

However he did mention that if mine is the last one and someone wants it, he will (by the store rules) have to sell it, but he will continue to save me another copy when the next delivery arrives and so I don't have to abide by the rule of the store where preorders will be only held for 48 hours...

Its arriving just in time for my birthday in Europe, (July). I'm glad i'v waited, I will get to play animal crossing and other games on a bigger screen (^_^)

I do. Granted, I usually get pants/shorts with the extra pockets and all, but I usually have it in my pocket. Lately I haven't carried it around though.


Probably won't get this version unless they make an enticing special edition. I'm content with my Zelda 3DS.

 

[JKDOS]

The only real problem I see is that I can't sell my original 3DS until after I have already bought the XL and have transferred all my paid content to it. I heard the Official NA release date is August 19th.. If I save $4.50 each day until than, I'll have more than enough. and since I have a job, I will only need to put aside $65 per paycheck.

Which is a lot of money . <--- On the bright side, I'll make back about $100 on my 3DS

EDIT:

I'm content with my Zelda 3DS.

Awesome, you actually have one of them :0

i'm thinking about trading in my 3ds for the XL just to play ac3ds. beautiful ~

 

[Frisket]

I'm not getting it - I don't tend to update unless it's a new system. I had my good ol' grey monster DS right until I bought a 3DS. My money stays with me for games!

 

[froggy]

I have a 3ds allready so I won't be getting it. I think that it will be ?180

Not sure how much it will be in EU, but it's confirmed it will release at $199.99 in NA.

When the DSi XL came out, I decided not to buy it, and that was because almost all NIntendo DS games do fine on tiny screens. However, the 3DS has 100 times better games. I think most 3DS games will benefiet from big screen.

Here are some 3DS titles that would be more amazing on bigger screen.

• Street Fighter
• Resident Evil Mercenaries
• Resident Evil Revelations
• The Legend of Zelda OoT
• Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
• Animal Crossing: Fly Out

If I had the extra cash I would get one,
I am not the kind of person who cares for
quality i'd love one with an video output for recording
but nope not in the cards

I still have yet to even get a 3ds, there hasnt been much i wanted on it. The only game i saw that i had wanted was Luigi's Mansion 2 ( wondering if it could possibly live up to the first one). Now that Ac is coming out, i should probably collect the funds for one. Ill probably just buy the regular 3ds, a bigger screen doesnt really matter to me. And to Frisket - I still have my regular blue Nintendo DS wich i still use quite a bit (though its quite scratched up).

If I had known there'd be a 3DS XL, I would've gotten one of those instead of the regular 3DS. I've had my 3DS for a year now and I still only have one game for it. :/ The only reason I even bought one was for AC:3DS, which I thought would've been out by now.

Exactly this. I never bought another version of the DS, kept my original one up until I bought a 3DS.
Don't see a point in buying the same exact thing twice when the one I have works fine.

i agree with this, it's pointless

I'm in the exact same position

However, AC:3DS will look great on the XL so I'll probably end up getting one in a year's time or something.
