I really don't know if I should get one, I mean I have had the 3DS for so long and hardly touched it. Perhaps if I get this is will encourage me to play it more often, but perhaps thats just a huge waste.

The 3DS XL looks uglier than the regular 3DS. Maybe it's the color and lack of a glossy finish? Also Jeff, you shouldn't be flashing that much cash in public. You never know who's watching.

I held off buying the original 3DS, because I figured I may as well wait for the games and the new model to show.

Now is the time.

California Extreme. I assume he took it out in advance of bartering for some new cabinets, since they are heading to the hotel right after work.

Those screens still look so shitty. Honestly, the only reason I'm keeping my 3DS is because of the inevitable Pokemon games. Can't believe I spent $250 on that thing.

It's always a good idea to let the entire internet know that you've got two large in your wallet before going to a convention.... or expo.... .or whatever CA Extreme is classified as.

I sold my 3DS a while back to get a Wii (yeah, I know). Now I'm thinking of throwing my money back at Nintendo and I'll probably end up with one of these. It seems silly to buy something that is 90% smaller play-screen for only $30 less.

If I didn't already have a 3DS, I'd be all over this. I don't like the shiny plastic, the bigger screen seems great, and the controls (especially the shoulder buttons) look more comfortable. The lack of a black one (just blue and pink) is dumb though.

Kind of want an XL. I'm not going to pocket the thing, so why not get the big screen?
