LOL!
This is awesome I sold my 3dsxl for $185 on ebay just a few weeks ago because I figured I should sell it now while I have nothing I want to play so I could get the best price return for when a color or design I actually liked came out. Might even buy 2 and see if it becomes a collectors item.

Damn it, this is too tempting. I want to hold out for the white, or at least for a Charizard Black, but part of me wants to settle for half white/half yellow.
I really don't see that as a good deal. I got mine on Black Friday in 2011 for $200 with Fable 3, a code for Halo Reach, 3 months of XBL, a headset, and 250GB on the inside. And this was from NewEgg.

so if the regular 3DS is $130 for ALL models.......the fire emblem edition is $130 
if they even carry that. or you can try to price match it at best buy
or you can get the mario kart bundle for $160. im really tempted to sell mine now ans get superior blue

I'll be doing the same if they ever bring over that Animal Crossing one.

So since the deal ends the day before luigi releases, I could just buy two get one free and then return one the next day and exchange it for weegee right?

I doubt the FE bundle would be $130 due to it being an actual bundle with FE preloaded onto it and sold for $200. If anything, it'd be $160 if you managed to get it PM'ed at Best Buy.

Damn I'm really trying to resist getting a 3DS XL until the white one comes out. The blue one doesn't look as bad as I thought it would in real life. The Pikachu one just looks lazy.
I'm also debating with myself whether I should try my hardest to try and get a Fire Emblem 3DS Bundle. They are mostly all sold out. I already own a launch 3DS so it would be more a collector need than anything. It looks cool >_>

Contemplating on getting this, but also afraid Nintendo will release a solid white or black unit soon.

"Bomba" is a lose word. Who knows, maybe they're ripping us off selling the xl at $200?

I think the Pikachu XL would have looked better with a black, instead of white interior.
It would look more cohesive
Oh wow, nice.
and im getting mine in May like a chump
The sale is for all colors.
As for the 3DS unit itself, I am not going to buy one as I was suckered into a DS Lite, and I hardly played it after a month owning it.
Portable gaming consoles are dead to me.
Oh well then my excuse is that it's at Target not Best Buy because I have a gift card for Best Buy.
(I thought the multiple colors thing meant there was multiple Pikachu colors out)

I don't get this thread's title. How can something that won't be out officially until the 24th be a bomba right now?
I'm pretty sure that Target has planned a 3DS sale for a while and just decided to use the Pikachu 3DS XL as the perfect opportunity for such a sale. It kind of feels like Target and Best Buy have entered a sales war.

What are the colors of the 3dsXL?
Red/Black, Blue/Black, Pink/White and now Pikachu/White in the US. Superior colors elsewhere
I've owned one since close to launch and haven't noticed any screen scratching at all. The build is different so I don't think that particular issue affects the XL. However, if you're really worried you could always put a screen protector and/or a screen cleaning cloth between the two screen for when the system closes.
This is missing the Pikachu 3DS and the animal crossing and new teal 3DS and the monster hunter black 3DS, but this is pretty much the main ones available in the west today.
Uh not in America. I like how you use an image that has Japanese text in it.

Hmmmmmm. How rare is this gonna turn out? I might get it just for the collectibility.
I'd honestly consider getting one next weekend if there were better colors in the US. I'm kind of confused why there aren't more. Is Reggie waiting for a price drop?

Well, some people are reporting that it's selling out in Canada
Not sure about the US though.What do thou mean? The text being in Japanese is irrelevant. He asked what 3DS XL colors are available and I posted an image showing a few of the colors. I then had a list of some of the newer colors out right now that are pretty new. I then said that SOME of these are available in the west. What did I say that offended you, I'd be happy to apologize, retract my statement and amend it if needs be.
I found an image, and uploaded it Imgur and posted it, with the intention of being helpful

OOOOOOOOOOH. Now I feel silly because I basically explained the joke without actually getting the joke.
Are you a huge Pokemon Mystery Dungeon fan? If not, Luigi's Mansion.
Also,
Was referring to the image, which as far as I'm aware contains all of the 3DS XL colors available in the US. Yes the image also contains the additional white and silver 3DS which isn't available in the us, but I'm sure you can realize that and ignore it?
He also said 3DS XL colors in general and didn't specify. It would also be an empty image if I only included the US colors lol.
No bad blood?

It makes more sense than white, that's for sure. Pikachu doesn't even have any white fur!

Sweet, been looking to unload my 360 since I've updated my pc. Will get the XL with monster hunter and fire emblem. Any other good games to check out other than the obvious Mario games?
