I realize that MK7 bundle is a good deal, but that color kinda sucks. :/

We're probably not going to get anything better for a while given NoA's incompetence. (last branch to release a new color, and it's pink... :I)

I have the blue. It's not bad, but it's not really good either. But it plays the games fine, so I can't really complain. :/

ThatsMytrunks · Dec 9, 2012

Bought the Blue 3DS XL, thought I could sell the Mario Kart.

I've made a terrible mistake.

barnone · Dec 9, 2012

ordered, cancelled, being indecisive. I can wait.

Yeah, same. I would be all over that if it was the red/black one. Oh well, will probably still pick up a non-bundled 3DSXL this week.

Toki767 · Dec 9, 2012

Will not buy until it's all black or all white.

I was going to hold off but that's just too good a deal to pass up.

I'll be grabbing my in-store pickup order later today!

stressboy · Dec 9, 2012

Just bought the 3DS XL bundle with Mario Kart today at BB for $199. Looks like I will be heading back tomorrow.

Bullza2o · Dec 9, 2012

Are any of those getting this also have launch-day 3DSes? Just curious.
If so, what will you do with them?

hitmon · Dec 9, 2012

Anybody got a pic of the white/pink XL?

Edgeward · Dec 9, 2012

Argh, must resist. But that bundle is so tempting

Zen_Arcade · Dec 9, 2012

Man, I'm lucky the shade of blue on my 3DS is my favorite color. The only other colors I'd want to buy are purple and the Animal Crossing one that's out in Japan.

Does BestBuy Canada get some love too?

We get $10 off regular price instead. Yay....

Frankfurter · Dec 9, 2012

I don't get why NoA doesn't release other colours... come on, Europe has grey/black and all white, so these things are being made anyway.

Easystride · Dec 9, 2012

Any screen protector recommendations for the XL?

Curufinwe · Dec 9, 2012

I recommend buying some stick-on bumpers.

dallow_bg · Dec 9, 2012

MK bundle is ready for pickup.

Just keep for my collection/backup after performing a transfer.

PixyJunket · Dec 9, 2012

Tough decision, do I get one TODAY and enjoy delicious instant gratification and a $50 savings (price match plus Toys R Us Groupon) or do I wait out the all black model?

I've got an hour until go time.

I'm dying here.

It's all-black inside; trust me you'll never notice.

But I can't recommend it really, as a fan of white electronics. I'm in love with my mushroom x white special 3ds and would kill for white or pink x white XL.

I already have a red one, but I may trade it in when Aus gets the white one.

Zaventem · Dec 9, 2012

I just want an all black or all white 3DS don't care about a sale.Would pay $200 for a color,yes i'm that picky.

The Hermit · Dec 9, 2012

I'm more concerned about ending the region lock before I buy. Hopefully some hacker defeats it.

Thanks for the tip. Just got back from BB where I bought the last one.

doctordoak · Dec 9, 2012

I already have the OG 3DS and MK7, and yet I'm still contemplating this. Argh

ja30278 · Dec 9, 2012

Hmm..

If anybody picks one of these up, and wants to trade it for a new-in-box 16GB nexus 7, let me know.

fluffydelusions · Dec 9, 2012

Why can't we just get a solid black or white model here in the US?

Sleepy · Dec 9, 2012

Quick question about the system transfer...Does all the save data transfer, as well? Do I have to switch the SD cards? Can I leave some games on the old system?

entremet · Dec 9, 2012

Baiano19 said:

Same. I don't mind paying retail if they had an all white or all black version.

Weird that the DSi XL had such ''adult'' colors, but the 3DS XL are baby's first game system colors.

Where did you get them?

PixyJunket · Dec 9, 2012

OH BOY, OH BOY. I'm part of the XL Fam now. $149.99, yo.

First things first, DO I NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE SCREEN SCRATCH PROBLEM?

Secondly, are there any small soft cases that are good?

Yes, the screens still scratch/can contact each other.

Brazil · Dec 9, 2012

Thanks for the heads-up, Wario. Picked a bundle up

Okay, I will head to GameStop or somewhere today and get a screen protector or at least a small cloth to put in between them. :\

Shadow780 · Dec 9, 2012

Are the new white XL in any kind of bundle?

Brazil · Dec 9, 2012

I'm just wondering here: do I lose the pre-installed digital Mario Kart 7 if I transfer the stuff from my original 3DS?

defectivelasagna · Dec 9, 2012

DAT MARIO KART BUNDLE! I really love the red 3ds but it doesn't have mario kart! I'm still deciding between the red or blue + mario kart.

I believe it was posted earlier that YES, you will, but it will show up in your Download History to redownload.

Drago · Dec 9, 2012

Shadow780 said:

Nope

Only new color is Pink/White, only bundle is Blue/Black

PixyJunket · Dec 9, 2012

My Pikmin are hard at work.

Boy, did I buy a lot of download software.

So about the screen thing, I'm going to cut a microfiber cloth to place in-between the screens (when closed/not in use) until I can locate a Hori screen protector set. Sound good? Should be okay?

nasos_333 · Dec 9, 2012

Now i am getting really angry at Square

I cant buy a 3DS XL before i know for sure Bravely Default is coming to US and i will miss the offer for sure until they decide to say more about it

They are so frustrating

That's really the ONLY game you want to play on this system?

gamergirly · Dec 9, 2012

Took the plunge. Now we got 3 3DS(1 XL) lol

dallow_bg said:

No, but i cant support a system that will not provide my most wanted game

It is a matter of principle, they will have to provide their top games worldwide or no game from me

Sure i want to play Zelda OOT, Layton and some older DS titles, but my desire to play those is in 6/10, while BD is in 10/10 and would clearly be the major reason i buy the system

Otherwise i can get something else

BTW, is there some other amazing RPG i could buy for it ? I mostly buy systems for RPGs

Like a JP 3DS? If you want to play it that badly

That is an option i am considering actually, the language is a huge barrier, but i could use some walkthrough maybe

But first i have to make sure they will not bring their best games in years in US, which personally i consider crazy

transience · Dec 9, 2012

Is this $159 if you pay for it at the store, or only if you do in-store pickup?

Do the in store pickup so you're guaranteed the price. They have it ready for you in a hour
