I meant the part about it not working well, regardless of if it's his eyes causing him to feel that way about it, it does in fact work fine for the most part.
$199
I doubt the MSRP will change on the 3DS since it took since a big price drop already. Maybe mad bundles tho
199$/EUR (but no charger in Yurop)
$199.99

If I hadn't bought the original 3DS, it'd be no contest. The XL for sure.
And there are two of them. It's almost as big as a tablet as a whole.
no, cuz i wanna play RE Revelations on dat new screen with it.

USIll be damned if im going to import a regionlocked device.
Guess ill hold off for awhile.
I really like all the improvements im reading as a few of them were issues for me. The only real issue I have that hasnt been mentioned is that craptastic D-pad
Thats not so bad.
Is the charger some proprietary Nintendo thing or will a regular one do?

So they made it bigger, but still never thought to throw on a second analog stick on there. "So sorry, you will have to buy the add-on to get that".
Fuck off Nintendo.

Yea, but I'm a little worried since they're keeping the same resolution but increasing the screen size. Wouldn't some pixelation be an issue? If getting the optimum visual clarity means a smaller screen, I'd rather go with that.

proprietary.

You can buy cheap DSi/3DS chargers almost anywhere for pretty cheap. They are a unique shape though.

Along with looking rad, it adds new levels to all your current games!
one week? Can't you return it?
ewwwww
No, there are cheap 3rd party models for as low as $4 or if youve ever owned a DS-i/XL you can use that one.

Do you have a problem with large HDTVs? I'd say it's the same non-issue.
The one for the DSi,DSiXL or 3DS should do the job, if you have any of those already.
I think I'm one of the only three people that didn't have a beef with the original unit. I don't see the point in dropping $200 on this if I was comfortable with it. Maybe when it has it's eventual bomba years down the road I'll do it just for the sake of having a second 3DS.
Don't get me wrong, the XL looks nice and everything, but I just don't think it's quite the jump GBA --> GBASP or DS --> DSLite was.
Also, I'm extremely curious to see the monster of a Circle Pad Pro for this thing.

That looks really nice, hopefully NA will get the Silver one before too long.

I don't think the add-on even works with the XL. The 2nd slide pad was never an important feature.

Discussion has been had and can still be had, but this isn't the place for all that. If you see a preview which explains why Super Mario 3D Land is suddenly unworkable on the bigger system without the second analogue, do contribute...

Not having one actually divides the userbase*.
Until Circle Pad Pro XL is announced for release with Monster Hunter 4 in Japan this holiday.
