anyone here getting the 3ds xl?
i for one.. do not know if i want it, or even mention it to my parents.
i don't have the normal 3ds, so I'm thinking of maybe getting the xl since it seems to be overall an improvement
it comes in in august at $199, which i am not sure is a lot considering i am not old enough to work .__.
so is anyone considering getting it?
and if anyone wants to help me, it'll be appreciated i am willing to pay for some of it, but probably not all. and i NEED to play kingdom hearts 3ds D:
good night basil

@thatbox more money for them
3ds = okay console, needs improvement
xl = bam improvement, makes people upgrade, more money
Nintendo just keeps throwing out bigger versions of their products and treat it as something completely different.
@KeybIaderAri: alright. thank you a loot though
Can't seem to find the game on canada toys r us. hmm.
@bongoman: Oh, I don't know.

Toys R Us has a better deal. You just buy the 3DS and the game together I think.
One sec let me go find the paper, to say exactly what it was but I think it's the same price for the 3ds and you get a $40 gift card (so you're getting the game for free).
EDIT: Here's the ad. Deal on page 4.

Pretty good deal if you ask me, unless you have nothing else to buy (like another game).[/quote]
do you know if that deal works in canada? i cant access the website cause of postal code

OMFG. does it have to be online? D:
I'm probably going to buy it for the new Fire Emblem game alone. Of course I'll get the other games, but Fire Emblem really looks incredible.
@malapo: whoa. i like that list.
a bit off-topic, but what are some other popular 3ds games if i plan to get one? still tryna decide..
I bought the 3ds the day it was released for $250, still pissed they dropped the price so soon afterwards. Not gonna waste money on a 3ds xl.
[quote=Thorontur]Just watch prices and if it begins to go down wait a little longer to get it.
Items like that will be cheaper eventually. And i dont know trade in prices but i would just trade in the DSLite and have some more cash to buy the 3DSXL.[/quote]
I would've done this too (but toward a 3DS, not XL), but I use my DS Lite to transfer pokemon from SS to black.

I got a used 3DS about 2-3 weeks ago for 140 I think? It was in great shape, I like the feel of the button clicks, the battery life is good enough for me, it's a good size and it's not uncomfortable. The XL just seems way too big for me, looks a bit more like a children's game handheld (like those cheap, bulky ones you see on commercials), I don't like how the XL speakers look, the graphics I think are going to look worse because the image is stretched (correct me if I'm wrong), and lastly, I think it's just too big. I could afford either, but I went with the 3DS in black. I'm super happy that it's in great shape considering it's used, and I think it was $30 less than the price for a new one.
I personally love the 3DS and would go with it over the XL, but it's up to you
3DS > 3DS XL.
not sure what i want to do
since the regular 3DS has that bomb ass extra stick/battery pack thing, but the XL will be bigger and have the extended battery life as well. i think i'll wait and see what prices are like and weigh my options.
[quote=Thorontur]Just stick with your regular 3DS.
The 3DS XL would probably be better for people who dont own a 3DS yet.[/quote]
yes but.. i am one of those people
do you guys think prices will drop the the xl? and i have my old ds lite. how much can i trade that in for if i end up doing so?
Just stick with your regular 3DS.

You guys don't have KH3D yet? I pity you. -is playing right now-
I dunno if I will. I know that at GAME there's a deal where if you trade in your old 3DS you get the XL for just £80..
But I'll probably just stick with the regular one.
I'll probably get it around Christmas time with a supercard.
I bought the old 3ds and i love it! My old bulky ds I bought when they first came out just doesn't compare in any way. Never going back to bulky so bleh no.
Get a regular 3ds...
Buying a XL really isn't worth it...
6 more days for KH also~
you know you don't NEED to play it, in fact you can wait like a month or two aaaand the game will still be there. for sale.
In fact you should buy the regular 3ds because it'll probly sell for even less Which means?
You Guessed it! you can buy Kingdom Hearts Drop The 356 over Sleep (Mark of Memories edition maybe even)
