Right.
Just found two lines of small scratches on my top XL screen that line up with the lower screen's bevel. Little circular scratches in two lines. Weren't there last week.
FUCK YOU, NINTENDO. Seriously, if you're thinking of buying an XL, put some stickies on it to keep the screens separate or it could well scratch itself. Absolutely unforgivable for Nintendo to have not fixed this shit.
Yeah so just chiming in to say my scratching has gotten gradually worse since last week.
Definitely permanent marks on the screen.
I would've taken precautions by putting screen protectors on, but none were available at launch!
So how was I supposed to prevent this? Leave it open forever? They can have it back soon.
I'm not happy to hear this. How could they fuck the XL up, too? You would think repair data from the OG3DS would warn them of the screen issue. Apparently the 3DS (+XL) top/s must be to heavy?
They should have just made a lip, like the DSi/Lite/XL...
So is it just the people putting it in their pockets and the people with scratches out of the box having problems? My launch 3DS had screen scratching problems due to me putting it in my pocket, but on my replacement system I got from Nintendo I've stopped putting it in my pocket. I haven't had any problems with scratching since. Would this be the same case for the XL? I don't want the screen to become scratched again.
Yeah, it's one of the reasons I decided to just go for one with a black interior instead. I was thinking it didn't make a difference, but after trying it, it really does help having that black background.
Hopefully the scratching is from sticking it in your pockets, or squeezing the lid shut hard or something.
Just quickly, are there any images or videos comparing the 3DS XL and the DSi XL side by side in regards to overall size? I'm after a good carry case for my new XL and am hoping one made for the bigger DSi model will fit okay.

The 3DS XL is smaller than DSi XL.
I'm interested in the 3DS XL, but I have a few concerns.
1. I still play my DS games on a phat DS. Yes, I know, it's ancient. However I never got a DS lite because I hate the buttons on it, too squishy. And the DSi was a tad too expensive for me when it came out. I also don't like the upscaling of DS games on the DSi XL. So, does the 3DS XL play DS games better than the DS phat? I have a 3DS, but DS games look like crap on it. 1:1 is too small and stretched it's too blury for me. I would only be using the 1:1 mode on the 3DS XL as well.
2. Is pixel separation that bad? Can you really notice it when games are in motion and you're a good distance away from the screen?
3. Finally, do 3DS games look noticeably worse? I really think some games would benefit from the extra size like OOT, but if the games look really blurry then I'm not so sure.
Yep, there's a reason nearly every single device with a screen has a dark border.
It's a portable, though. It belongs in your pocket. That's why it's a clamshell. I can't believe Nintendo did nothing to fix this.
Seriously, it's as if Mario Kart had been optimized for the XL. I assume it's not the case, but the result still is outstanding.Just tried Mario Kart 7 on my XL. Had a near-religious experience. Looks insanely good.
UK GAF: Hori screen protectors are out next Friday, up for pre-order on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008HPAXZ2/
why does it say "by Antigrav Media"?
Yup.Is it safe to say that the 3DS XL will fit snugly in a case designed for a DSi XL? Was looking at this one in particular.
Yup.
GIVE ME THE WHITE NOA.
Fucking region locked bullshit, man!

Thanks, just pre-ordered these - I just hope my replacement 3DS XL from TheHut doesnt have marks on the screen from new :/UK GAF: Hori screen protectors are out next Friday, up for pre-order on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008HPAXZ2/
Stupid question probably: If you take those things off the bottom of the Xbox 360 and put them on the 3DS XL for screen protection, will that void the warranty your 360 has? Or can you easily put them back on again?
Alright i am about to take the plunge on these and pre-order them: Hori Screen protectors generally are considered to be pretty good right?
Hmm, do any of you with an XL have one of the red or blue carry pouches from the US Club Nintendo rewards catalog? I'm curious how it fits in that; right now it's what I use for my regular 3DS. Just wondering if I'll need to invest in a new/different case should I decide to upgrade to an XL.

What's the consensus on battery life? I searched the thread and didn't find many posts.
My launch 3DS with Nyko PowerPak seems to get the same battery life as reported by the numerous reviews (plus it actually has a cradle)...
Yes! Thank you.Like this?
Edit:
Yes! Thank you.
That looks insanely good... if it's easy to take off the color shells then I'm replacing Blue with White. Now I just gotta wait for the shells
They seem to be very easy to take off, so we'll probably see shells for sale soon (if not by Nintendo, by third parties).
Will the charging cradle be available in NA on day 1? If so, how much? I'm hoping for $10 as a charger doesn't need to be included...
I want to go in a store and get a Blue XL + NSMB2 + Cradle all at once
Just found two lines of small scratches on my top XL screen that line up with the lower screen's bevel. Little circular scratches in two lines. Weren't there last week.
This makes me very happy.thing is, it's also written in the manual (yeah i know noooobody reads them...i did!)
the lower part is just screwed on with two screws (preetty close together) and all the rest is just standart mobile phone clip on-plastic shell.
"why?" you ask? because it makes it easier to change the battery(really! look it up in your manual!).
soooo.....new shells would be doable.

EDIT:
update on my non scratching non-issue: three full days of work (just carrying it around in a nice cloth...lack of a decent looking and sized bag).....i did almost 50.000 steps in three days like that. no scratch or anything.
AM.I.BLESSED?!?!
This makes me very happy.
Just thinking of the possibilities... could someone make Orange/Black or Purple/Black or all black models? I'm going crazy
