I have the 3DS XL. I would like to purchase the new 3DS XL eventually in order to have two systems since the battery life sucks on them but I'm holding off for now.
I had a pink 3ds for a few years and it recently broke (it was basically crushed and torn apart bc those things are actually indestructible). I was so devastated! All my street passes are gone etc, plus I had a digital copy of acnl (in addition to my cartridge) so I lost that town.
My bf bought me the new 3ds xl though. I have it in red, its so pretty...I love it! I've never had an xl before so its really special. I also juast like the way the new ones are...theyre really nice.
