Although some may think the screen size is the biggest plus (and it is REALLY nice), I am noticing so much more. The Antiglare on the screen for one is very underated! Today I am sitting in the park playing in bright direct sunlight. It looks great I couldnt even think about using my Vita outside More to come later....

Bigger screen, better comfort, stylus on the side, buttons feel a hell of a lot better than they ever did on the 3DS etc.

It's just great all around.

Looking forward to: No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again

It's not out here yet but I've played around with EB's demo system a bit.
The screens are really nice and the whole anti-glare thing is most welcome.
I also find it quite impressive how other people can actually watch WHILE the 3D is turned on without just hurting their eyes.
I could actually see the 3D a bit from about a metre behind the person using it on an angle.

On the negative side of things though, I find the system itself to be a bit too big and the shape feels a little funny, like it's a bit too thin or rounded or something.
I can probably adjust for most games.
Mario Kart wasn't too bad, my fingers just had to stretch a little bit to reach the shoulder buttons.
I'm almost certainly going to play Kid Icarus: Uprising exclusively on my normal 3DS though.
It's just way too hard to get a good grip on the XL for the one-handed style of play so I wouldn't be able to play as well on it, plus it's a bit of a stretch to reach the powers in the bottom left hand corner of the screen.

It does seems like a decent system though if you can ignore its looks.
I wouldn't want to replace my normal 3DS with it completely, but it's nice to have the option to use the XL with some games and original model with others.

i posted this in the other thread, but why not:

the screens are cheap compared to the launch models. of course, they're no better on the newer 'small' 3DS's either, but if you have an early system it's a downgrade. the backlight is also pretty dim, i have to have it on 4 or 5 to match the original on 3.

ASIDE FROM THAT it's great. i was worried about the lower PPI i don't mind the bigger pixels at all. it's not like upscaling -there's no distortion or loss of quality; every pixel is displaying the exact same way as on the original 3DS... just a little bigger. it feels great and looks good.

I just picked up my red 3DS XL yesterday. At first, I was planning on purchasing the blue, but it was already out of stock at that particular Gamestop. However, I'm just glad that the trade-in offer was valid and I got a good bargain. For the release day only, Gamestop would give $100 off the price of the 3DS XL if you traded in your 3DS for one. Otherwise, they told me it would normally be only $55 in trade-in value. After I buy a case, I'll then open it up and see how much that I'll enjoy this new handheld. However, I can already tell that I'm going to love it.

There is no puzzle without a solution!

I love the 3DS XL, it's big screens are bright and clear. The shape is comfy in my hands, they feel relaxed while playing. I also like the stylus position, and the smooth matte finish! My Vita sits in the case and gathers dust mostly, it's become a costly piece of junk, lol. I have one decent game for Vita and 8 great games on 3DS XL
