Target was sold out within an hour of all N3ds XL. TRU was sold out within 15 min. Was able to snag one at Best Buy when they opened. I got there about 5 min early. Best Buy had 5 blacks and 2 reds, no specials. Kinda bummed but at least I got one.
Came home and noticed this:

Was able to snag one. As of 10:29 EST, they are still available! GOGOGOGOGOGOGO!

Does the new 3ds XL (USA) come with screen protector preinstalled from the factory? Or is my unit defective? My touch screen is bumpy and not smooth at all

It cancels the order at the end of checkout now.
Errr I'm trying to move files from my computer to my new 32GB microSD card but it won't let me. Says the disk is write-protected. Thing is, it's not locked and I've tried it with the lock in both positions and neither mode works.
Do I have to format it to make the write protection go away?
edit: nevermind, seems to work now. Had to give it an extra push and now it works ¯\_(ツ

While debating whether or not to pull the trigger this went OOS. We'll see if it comes back later.
I still see this as available on the website.

i was able to snag one! now i have to decide which one to keep. i was able to walk into Target at 8am and pick up a MM limited edition.
Every new touchscreen since the very first DS exhibited that "bumpy" screen. It goes away with time and use.

My morning trip to Best Buy was not in vain!
You just buy the regular version, games made specifically for the new 3DS will have the branding at the top vs. the right side. The first game to take advantage of the new hardware will be Xenoblade.
Preaching to the choire, it's the only reason I haven't pulled the trigger on the XL. I want the N3DS non XL...
So, the new 3D screens have not eliminated the "ripples" seen in 3D mode. It must just be due to the size of the screen making this hard to minimize. The OG system had this as well, but only barely noticeable and only at extreme close or far distance.
However, the "super stable 3D" does limit the ripples to being an effect of holding the system too far or too close. Side to side movement or slight jiggling (button presses) no longer cause the dark ripples. So now, instead of having to lock your arms at a certain distance and angle, you only have to lock at a certain distance.

I was surprised that it doesn't move at all. It seems like it might work fine for camera movement, but it's not something you'd ever want to use for something like a twin stick shooter.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I'm assuming that none of the retailers have any new accessories for the N3DSXL such as cases, screen protectors, etc?
I am receiving screen protectors from amazon today, however with the Hori case delay I was hoping to find a case for my daughters system to ensure it doesn't get scratched/damaged due to her timely uncoordination with electronics =P. I know I could get a pouch for travel/storage, but mainly looking for something to protect it all the time.

you will get used to it.
Felt the same with the xl when I first got it. Felt the same about my iphone 6+ when I first got it.

Did they make more black than red? Or is everybody buying the red? Me no like the black.
I think it varies by location. At Nintendo World this morning, more people were buying black than red.

God damn it... watching the shipping status every 10 minutes.
I can't take it anymore, guys. I'm going crazy!

The target I went to this morning only had 1 black, and 2 reds. I got a red, it's really nice looking.
Both the targets on my way home are sold out, and both toys r us as well. Best buy showed that they had stock but no one would answer when I called. I tried ordering online but the website wouldn't accept my password and I'm still waiting for them to reset it. Finally managed to get through after checking out as a guest, and received confirmation that my order was in stock and ready to be picked up. I'm cautiously optimistic as this point, but man in having to jump through hoops to get this system.

Chargers are branded with a "new" on them now so...that's something.

I had never seen a 3DS XL in person. This thing is huge. I love it.

Got in line this morning and was 2nd. The guy in 1st said they had 1 copy so I should go to another location that has 5. Thankfully I didn't listen because they had 2! And thanks to the person who believed him that was originally in 2nd that went to the other location prior to me arriving. Yay!!
2 Zelda editions and 3 of the other 2 for a total of 8. Crazy

According to: 3dbrew.org, these are the significant changes I can see:
ARM11 Processor Core: ARM11 MPCore 4x 268MHz(~268123480 Hz) & 4x VFPv2 Co-Processor (versus 2x & 2x in the OG 3DS)
FCRAM: 256MB (vs 2x64MB in the OG 3DS)
VRAM: 6 MB within SoC. Independent of system memory (FCRAM). 4MB of additional memory inside SoC. (vs. just the 6 MB within SoC in the OG 3DS).

3 dead pixels. Awesome. Fucking piece of shit.
Paid for faster delivery on Amazon France as well, order is also stuck in Germany! Hoping it'll come tomorrow - otherwise I'll be asking for a delivery refund.

Picked one up at Walmart around midnight. Had about 5 in stock around 11:30 lol. Now I have to fight for customer service to transfer my content since I sold my 3DS a while ago.
Wow okay I just got my second 4U LE.
Couple things:
First of all there's no room for wobble so there's no left/right wobble as described here.
Secondly the snap mechanism sounds entirely different. It's like this silent thunk, while on the other one (and on my old XL) it's a very distinct clicking noise.
And finally there's also less up and down wobble but not by much. My old XL had the most of that.
I assume all three differences are related to the wiggle room between the hinges.
Also one question: if I format the system memory, will it mess with the pre-installed MH4U?

I heard a new radio ad about the new 3DS and laughed! No I have not seen it since no stock.
