Bustin' Out the 3DS Extra Large

Man this thing is really tempting. Unfortunately if I want to get one of these, I will have to get another 32GB SD card because that is what is in my current 3DS right now. Not to sure if I am over 4GB (which comes with the 3DS XL), but I want to have all that space for other game downloads and such.

EDIT: Just checked my SD and I'm about at 4 GBs, so the new SD card would be about full already.

You can transfer it all over. I read all about it yesterday in preparation. Just do a search for "3DS system transfer SD card" on Google and you'll find what you need. No need to buy a new card.

Hurrah for the 17th iteration of the DS! It's like they do these videos every week now.

oh yeah! sold my DS last week so i could pick up the book again. what was i thinking!? XL all the way

I feel your pain Jeff. Every month I have to take out roughly 1200 cash to pay my rent since I don't have a Korean bank account. Worst of all, I have to go exchange it in and end up with twice as many bills bulging my wallet.

I would have been tempted to get the XL but there is no way im paying for a handheld that doesnt come with a charger

But the giant second thumbstick doohicky! It'll never fit on that! What about all the games that utilize it! .... oh right.

Brad couldn't have ended it any better.

and the music made it extra awesome.

I can't stop laughing throughout this entire video because 30% of it is just Brad looking at Jeff's crotch.

I love that Jeff has $2200 just lying in his wallet because of California Extreme.

This video really is ALL about the Benjamins.

That's what she said.

Well I hope I'm not the only one who rewinded back just to count how much cash money Jeff threw down.

No girls this time around?

They're in hibernation. They only get let out for full-on system launches. Rumor has it that they're trained at the same secret volcano base that births the infamous Nintendo Ninjas.

What? I've never heard of these allegedly "infamous" Nintendo Ninjas..

*Gasp*

They're good!

I kinda like the look of it and the stylus is in the right place too, yet not coming with a power adaptor is kinda lame. Then again, I probably won't need more than one of those anyway.

Now the question is if I were to get another 3DS at some point should I get another US one, or should I split my games by getting a EU compatible one? I would also lose out on multiplayer games if I did that, what a conundrum!

I AM SHOOTING FIREBALLS NOW!

Now the long hard wait until there's a purple one of this model.

I want everything in this video, the 3DS XL, the hot stack of cash, the two copies of NSMB2, Brad's 3DS case, and that plum.

Did anyone grab a clear still of Ryan's drivers license?

Brad! You need to fade to the ceiling. The ceiling, Brad!

I envision the camera is Brad's eyes and he's just all ways looking at Jeff's crotch.

I've been thinking of getting a handheld for a while but, I don't know, they seem too expensive compared to a console. I guess it's the price one pays for the size of the device. This new model seems enticing just like when the DS XL came out, but I'll continue abstaining for now.

brad's directing skills are top notch.

Jeff laying it down.

Holy fucking shit J. Gerstmann is a PIMP. Who the fuck rolls around with $2200? Jesus.

Someone who is going to California Extreme to buy arcade machines....

I'm disappointed the bomb crew still don't have a proper camera to film this stuff with, so blurry ;_;

DAMN SON

I have bought exactly two games for the 3DS since its launch, so until it gets a decent game liberary, I have no desire what so ever to buy a new one, no matter how big it is.

Anyone else having probs getting the video to play in Chrome?

Xtra large size, no second analog stick

PASS

Sausages.

I am still holding out for a 3DS redesign. They obviously won't include the second stick and doesn't need it I suppose since they aren't going the Vita/PSP route of on the go versions of home games. But with the improvements they made to the screens and the possibility of a better battery life, I will wait.

Jeff is loaded.

It didn't come with a cradle, but I could see the cradle contacts on the back. I wonder how much that will cost.

Wow, the blue looks really nice under real light, instead of the spotlights for photos and such.

Know that Jeff can make it rain at anytime he just chooses not to.

Big Jeffrey is all about them crispy hundreds.

He shouldve rolled up dem bills with a rubber band. True drug money.

Not sure how I feel about the 3DS XL. I like the size of the normal model, and when I tried a test unit in a store the other day it seemed gigantic. Granted the extra weight from the big metal thing attached to stop people stealing it probably didn't help, but man, I don't know.

I'd buy that. Looks better imo.

I love how anticlimactic this video is.

This one didn't come with a blindfold?

So it has the same resolution as the old model but with a bigger screen, it still doesn't have a proper dedicated right analog stick and the old bulky peripheral they made for the 3DS won't work with this, and it's fucking enormous? I'm sorry but that thing looks like it'd be like driving a car with square wheels. Incredibly disappointed in this.

But hey, Jeff has a wad of cash. So that made it worthwhile.

Oh wow... does the battery last like 20mins?

I'm so happy the XL came out so soon after the original. I was holding out for a better library (Rune Factory and Harvest Moon games mostly) and the XL of the DSi was the best upgrade I've ever had.

Also if you went from DSi to XL, you know how massive a difference the larger battery makes. I can go on an all-day road trip and not have to recharge it once. Also, the XL is so much easier to hold in my giant hands, and I even add Nerf Armor to make it more comfortable (and protected). Yeah, it's not a pocket system anymore, but it's still a handheld I can take on trips, or lie in bed and play.

So yeah, exciting and happiness.

Wait are the start buttons mushy like the GBA SP buttons? and also I wish this wasn't as big but had the same form factor and came in purple instead of blue (though I love how the inside is all black).

They should have called this a Mailbag or something else, because I almost missed this thinking it was just a Nintendo commercial.

At least he has not yet curled those bills into a solid, fist-sized cylinder. That's when it's really drug dealer money.
