Argh £209? What madness is this!?
I thought 3DS XLs + 1 game were like £180.

Not entirely sure about it though... I LOVE the outside if the console, just in the inside worries me if its too reflective or not.

I tought that the 180£ was the price for the console itself. The Luigi one is 179£ and has no game; the Pokemon ones are 199 with the game, 179 without; the Zelda one is 199 with the game; the Mario Kart 199, the Mario Land 199 and so on...

are those prices higher than normal? I ask because I've my OG Acqua blue day one console and I'm not aware of actual prices...

Darn it. I want that Luigi one. I shouldn't have bought the Pokemon Blue XL =/
I'll just assume it's not coming to Australia so I won't be disappointed.

Ehh, good for those of you that like it but I've got the Pikachu and Red Yveltal ones so I'll pass. Zelda one is alright but that Luigi one is bleurgh!

Hmm dont quote me on it, just thought they were.
I just checked amazon though and they offer £180 for white 3DSXL + Mario Kart 7

Sorry, I didn't mean to be harsh, actually I have no idea of the actual prices too! I was just trying to understand if the N uk store has higher prices, if the Zelda one is higher than normal and so on...

Are 3ds region free?

If it doesnt release in the usa and its region free im going to be in europe during nov 22 so that will work out perfectly
 
Still think I prefer my OoT 3DS, but I love the idea.

I'm still really into that Luigi 3DS, no idea why they didn't release it alongside Dream Team though.

Didn't come off as being harsh at all, no worries!
From N UK store so far... sort of hit and miss, some games are still being sold as they just been released on their for example, but for hardware they seem alright so far, just hope retail stores can beat it a little.

I'll definitely be buying this.

Question about the digital copy of Zelda though; I have lots of content I'd be transferring over. Will the game be deleted because it's not on my original account? How exactly does that work?

I never did a transfer before, but according to here http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/07/guide_3ds_xl_system_transfer everything on the new system will be deleted.
so it probably depends if the Zelda on the special edition 3DSXL is pre installed or in form of a code.
if its preinstalled you cant system transfer, I guess.

If it was black on the inside it would be perfect. The golden inside kinda ruins it. Such a shame. The outside is amazing.

The Zelda model is awesome, but I wish it was black on the inside and not gold. It's too much gold. Feels garrish.

I'm not a big fan of Zelda so I don't really mind that one, plus I don't want a digital copy of that game anyways. But that Luigi edition peaked my interest in upgrading to XL. Reading trough the thread my opinion is impopular, Luigi haters :p
