Online or local store? I would love to have it earlierI'm from Germany and I bought my 3DS XL yesterday from a video game store. They gave me a free AC adapter as a special offer to beat the local Gamestop!
Saturday in Japan, same day as the NSMB2.
Edit:
Oh, didn't know it's a worldwide release.
I have Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7 and OoT. Should I get Theatrhythm, Mario Tennis Open or Kingdom Hearts with my 3DS XL?
Theatrhythm is an essential part of any 3DS collection, but then so is Kid Icarus and you don't even list that.
I don't really like the Kid Icarus games. I haven't played this new one yet, but it doesn't really do something for me when I look at videos of people playing it. Doesn't really feel like a must have to me, but maybe I'll pick it up sooner or later . I think it's going to be Theatrhythm. I haven't played a lot of Final Fantasy games since I suck at JRPG's, but I do love music games and the Final Fantasy soundtracks.
I think I'll pick up two games with my 3DS XL, KH3D being one for sure and the other one being a toss up between Theatrhythm, Mario 3D, Mario Kart, Kid Icarus, and RE Revelations. Tough choices.
If you can find a place that will let you return it opened for a full refund.Hmm... I'm wondering if this would work in theory. I buy another normal 3DS and do a system transfer to retain all the games I have on my current 3DS. Then, I trade in the first 3DS and buy an XL. Next, I do a system transfer with the XL and new 3DS. Finally, I return the original 3DS I bought. Do you guys this would work out?

Why not just buy an XL, do the transfer, and then sell your 3DS? Would save you a lot of time and hassle.
Keep in mind you can only do 1 system transfer every 7 days. And only 5 total lifetime per account.
As my 3ds is broken, i really hesitate to take this one to replace it. It's expensive (i cannot sell my 3ds...) and the ppi is just horrible.
bought it in France where the sales embargo is treated like an afterthought ;-)Just out of curiosity, those who have received theirs are you in the UK? If yes, where did you order from?
Thanks.
Can I get Netflix on this yet?

.
Also, as others have noted, you really should give Kid Icarus: Uprising a try. I was never the biggest fan of the original Kid Icarus either, but you don't need to be to appreciate Uprising -- it's truly one of the best games of the year, one of the freshest games I've played in several years, and just a love letter from Sakurai to video games overall. It's just oozing with a genuine charm and playability that you don't often see in video games anymore. Even if you're unsure about buying it, find some way to try it out -- it's so, so good.
Ok I'm done, it was awfully long. Good luck with your instore transfert guys.
Sadly, no. I went by some stores yesterday, and while most of 'em got the demo model on display, they don't have the actual devices yet. The guy from GameMania told me I could pick up my 3DS XL this saturday, while earlier this week he told me I could come pick it up on friday :/... We'll see.Apparently the Dutch Gamemania stores allow you to take the 3DSXL (full price, 183 euros) home with you to do the transfer. You have to bring back the Original 3DS within a week to get your money (100 euros). You have to bring the 3DS with you for them to check wether it's eligible for trade in first so you won't get any nasty surprises.
Got all this from their website.
I still haven't heard from them though. Are there Dutch Gaffers who already got their hands on a 3DSXL from other stores perhaps?
Keep the impressions coming, guys. Im hoping Tesco will let me buy one tomorrow. If not, Blockbuster will but Tesco would be easier (and cheaper) for me.
What's the consensus on the new Art Academy game? Torn between it and Colours. Im no expert but wouldn't mind a decent drawing/painting game on those screens.

edit: According to some guy on Budgetgaming who works at the Saturn in Venlo, they just put it on the shelves for 179.
I read that a free record shop in Tiel!? also started selling them. Hopefully tomorrow then :-/
• GameMania: Nog niet binnen en verkoopt 'em echt pas zaterdag. Verkoper was ongelukkig en gaf aan dat er een verbod kwam tot zaterdag.
• Intertoys: Verkoopt 'em nog niet, maar wel al binnen. Kon 'em ook al helemaal uitgepakt zien ipv een demo-unit. Er komt wel een pakket voor €211 met waarschijnlijk New Art Academy
• Dixons: Geen idee qua levertijd en ook niet binnen
• Foregames: Binnen en verkoopt 'em voor €182,50 zonder spel
• Saturn: Wel al binnen, magazijn is vol, maar verkoopt 'em nog niet. Verkoper was ook niet gelukkig met de situatie.
Got this list from Tweakers:
We need a teardown, preferably by iFixit.We need more videos/pictures of the blue XL.

No, I did the same for my Pokemon Black DSi. But it's worse for me. I bought it 3 days before buying a 3DS (the DSi came out days before the 3DS). I bought the 3DS on impulse because I had spare money on me at the time.Is it bad that I will buy one of these XLs and still keep my Zelda 3DS which will go untouched, but I can't bear to part with it because it's Zelda?
