As many of you know the European region will be getting two colours of the New 2DS XL when it arrives on 28th July, and being in old Blighty we shared information when some pre-orders opened in the UK for the new portable iteration.
Now the Official Nintendo UK Store has pitched in with its pre-order offers; as always it's charging the full price, but is throwing in an extra to tempt buyers. In this case it's a reversible soft pouch - you can see the details below.

Are you tempted to pick up a New 2DS XL, or is it one iteration of the handheld too far?

Reminds me of the reversible pouches that used to be on Club Nintendo, I have one of those and they're nice.
Pre-ordered them... commenting here and not on Facebook so the mrs doesn't tell me off...
LIKE THE ONES FROM CLUB NINTENDO.
I still have 2 of the Club Nintendo ones that I keep my 3DSs in... They're nice. Not a bad preorder bonus.
@RupeeClock My wife has her 3DS in the reversible red one which we also got for free from Club Nitneod, it's a nice pouch.
I'd consider this maybe for $129, but for $149 I'd pay the extra $50 for the new super stable 3D. Don't know why they went from cheap low end 2DS at $79 to New 2DS at $149. Though I guess doubling the price works for MS too.
I guess it will sell this holiday for Pokemon Ultra S&M. And maybe Hey! Pikmin and Ever Oasis and MH Stories. Still seems expensive though. I wonder if the west will get a $129 New 3DS again this Black Friday?
Not a bad bonus. Shame the price couldn't be a tiny bit lower, but not bad!
I can't wait. This will be my first 3ds error new 2ds. There are several games that I have missed on the 3DS and I can't wait to pick them up and play them.
I know your game Nintendo, there's bound to be a Limited Edition New 2DS XL coming for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. I'll wait for that thank you.
Since Nintendo never released a N3DSXL with a design I liked in the West (saw someone at MCM London with the Super Famicom one and was uber jelly) I have been tempted to grab one of these.
However is there truth in reports they use a lower quality screen with rediced brightness & contrast?
FYI, on the Nintendo store online, you can get a refurb New 3DS for a pretty good price...just went there, saw they had a Galaxy themed N3DSXL for $160, so glad I got that. Otherwise, I would have been all over a 2DS XL.
I would like to say that I am interested in that console and I will purchase it at some point, but it is releasing on the 28th of July and the 12 final Super Smash Bros. amiibo will take precedence over this only due to the fact that it is not going to become a sought-after item like amiibo figures.
@rjejr I like the looks of the New 2DS XL, but the main drawback for me is it wouldn't support a vertical charging cradle like the New 3DS or New 3DS XL.
So if I do replace my well down N3DS XL, it's gonna be with another N3DS XL.
Now... Where did I leave that club nintendo pouch I had...
Still have my Club Nintendo Animal Crossing branded pouch. One of my favorite rewards of all time.
@ProjectCafe those were the best. Still have mine here, I keep my KI:I AR cards in them.
Yet again stuff that only the UK gets while the rest of Europe gets completely ignored.
