To the ones who got the new 3DSxl, where did you all buy it from? My mum is living in England I live in the US by myself, so she has to buy stuff for me through amazon. I noticed it's not available there yet. Does anybody know when? I'm hoping to get it for my 20th in July (even though I got the 3DSxl for my birthday last year ) Also is it worth the upgrade? Thanks
It had the same release date as the American one, so it is available. I'm European, and I managed to get the MM3DS.
It might just be that the New 3DS is temporarily sold out at the places you're looking at.
I think I've got way too many, but I love them all... they're all EU versions except for the pink one, which is NA. Please excuse the rather crappy phone pic...

I only posted my new one. I have my new 3DS, my blue 3DS I used from 2011 until this year, and my light blue DSi.
These are the only 3 at my apartment. At my parents house, I have a couple DS Lites, and an original pink DS.
I got my New 3DS XL from here. Only 1 has sold since I bought mine, probably some still in stock. It ships as soon as your payment clears. Came in the box and everything. I got a 64GB microSD card to go with it.
I was planning to get the Majora's Mask one, but I couldn't find one under $300, which was my budget. I'm happy with what I got though : )
Now if Xenoblade Chronicles 3D will hurry up and release.....!
My 3DS XL is the New Super Mario Bros 2 Limited Edition version. I bought it from Wal-Mart during their Black Friday sale last December. Also, I'm using the Sable theme. : )
Thanks for posting that! The same seller also has several Zelda, Pokemon and even Sailor Moon decals for 3DS's as well, so those who are also interested should check out the other ones the seller has.
I absolutely love all the 3DS's I've seen on this thread so far! So I'm going to post my own! ^.^ I'll post my old DS Lites too for those interested. All my systems are NA but I sure love the colours some of you guys have that we don't have here! Sorry if the images are a bit blurry as I took them with my old iPhone.
My first Nintendo system! I got this little baby for Christmas in 2006, which was shortly after the DS Lites came out. I was 10 years old at the time. I mainly wanted a gaming system to play Pokemon (Emerald was my first game and I played it a lot on this DS as I got my DS before Pokemon Diamond and Pearl were a thing). Gotta love the GBA slot. This one has seen a lot of wear and tear over the years though. Many buttons have gone soft, the touch screen is way off and no longer calibrates correctly and it has a cracked hinge (you can sort of see the clear tape holding it together on the right side). It still works though! The case is a cute hard shell that easily slides on that I bought from Walmart quite some time ago.
This Special Edition DS Lite I got sometime around 2010-2011 to make playing more comfortable as my old Coral Pink DS was pretty worn out and annoying to use at times, plus I loved the Lime Green colour! Unfortunately though a small slightly annoying buzzing sound emanates from beneath the touch screen and dust particles are inside the top screen and my system has been like that since new. :/ I tried to convince my parents to send it in to get it fixed but they wouldn't listen to me... I'd pay for it for it to be fixed now but Nintendo no longer repairs DS Lites. I still love this DS though and it's still a lot nicer to play than my poor old worn out Coral Pink DS. The cute carrying case came with it as part of the Special Edition package.
Finally here's my latest edition my lovely 3DS XL that I got around mid July in 2013. I originally owned a regular sized 3DS (the Aqua Bluey-Green one), but the home button quit working in less then week and I didn't even own a game yet! (I spent all my money on the 3DS). So I returned the 3DS and was hesitant to buy another one. After doing some research I found out that the XL's have stronger built start, select and home buttons, so I looked into buying one of those. They were too much money though... $200 plus tax which is more like $226 here (stupid 13% tax!). Anyways, one day I was looking on Kijiji (a Canadian local free classifieds site) and someone had a Black/Blue XL (the colour I wanted! I <3 blue.) new in the box and were asking about $180 which I could afford! So I messaged the guy and met up with him. Turns out he had bought the system for the kid of a friend or relative of his, but never gave it to him as the kid was known to not be very careful with things... So anyways in the end he sold it to me for $170 and I didn't even ask him to drop the price lol I was willing to pay the $180 but hey! With that I even had enough money to go out and buy a game which I did! I bought none other than Animal Crossing New Leaf what a day! To this day the system still works great and has only minor signs of normal wear. The simple black case I only use for travel, and I bought it online a year or so ago. It protects my system and holds my cleaning cloth, AR cards and 3 games.
I just bought this off ebay for my Black/Blue 3DS to help jazz it up as the plain blue is pretty but has gotten boring to look at since I've had the system nearly 2 years now. It is a Japanese import that was/is only sold at Pokemon centers in Japan. I saw this case a while ago but could not find anyone selling one online, but this thread reminded me of it and I just found one that I bought! It was $27 US including shipping (More like $35 CAN, stupid crummy exchange rate right now). It's supposed to come in the mail anywhere from mid to late March, and I hope it comes alright as this is my first ebay purchase without the use of one of my parents' accounts as I'm of age now. It's also clear so my system's pretty blue colour will show through the areas around the Pokemon.
Also congrats to those of you who got the New 3DS's they look great! I am personally not planning on upgrading thugh, as I love my old 3DS XL and would rather spend the money on 3DS or Wii U games, plus the new enhancements aren't enough for me to make the switch. I'm not likely going to buy any games that will require the ZL, ZR or C Stick buttons, I dislike the rearrangement of the game card slot, stylus etc. The only things I do like is the faster processor, but my iphone is old, slow and clunky too and I'm used to it so it's not a big deal. Face tracking 3D is nice too, but 90% of the time I play at night in the dark so no camera is going to be able to track my face lol. Built in Amiibo support is nice too, but if I ever get any Amiibo compatible games then I'll just get the adaptor for my old 3DS. There also isn't a Blue coloured New 3DS here in NA, darn you Europe! (Don't worry I still love you guys though! ^.^) So even if I did want a New 3DS there isn't a colour here that I'm interested in.
I can see how it's a great upgrade for other people, but it's just not for me.

I really like your collection ya got there! I agree with why you do not want to upgrade to the new 3ds. I upgraded because I was still on the original 3ds.

Thanks! I ended up typing a lot more than I should have, but oh well. I can understand your upgrade that's for sure as I briefly owned a regular 3DS and I find the bigger screens show more detail, not to mention the placement of the stylus on the original smaller 3DS was horrible. Also over all I find the XL's seem to be a bit higher quality too.
I'm too lazy to go and take another picture of my 2ds, so here's an artistic one I took a while ago
I also have a NA 3ds, but I since moved back to the UK so I got one from here so I didn't have to import all my games (also the wifi was broken on my old one)
I bought it back in november and now I want the new3DSXL.... such decisions.
) Also is it worth the upgrade? Thanks

I still love this DS though and it's still a lot nicer to play than my poor old worn out Coral Pink DS. The cute carrying case came with it as part of the Special Edition package.
