@Prof_Clayton I'm still confused as well. Does it mean that they can't manufacture the actual accessory because there's no power to drive the machines that build them?
You get what you pay for really in this day and age, so I'm happy with what the price of the games will be. Games that are bought for 69p or whatever get stale extremely quickly. I like longevity and replay value when it comes to gaming, and Nintendo always manage to cater for my needs.
I got mine on Friday and I have to say, it's awesome! It feels more comfortable in my hands, the top screen has less reflection, the matt finish looks really nice with no nasty fingerprints, the upscale looks good and the system transfer basically turned the XL into a carbon copy of my original 3DS. Overall, I'm very pleased with the 3DS XL.
I personally really like the look of it, I have rather large hands so this will be great for me comfort-wise. The weight doesn't scare me either, it's nice to hold something that you pay £££s for and know that it's in your hands. I don't own any games that warrant a second circle pad so overall, I'm getting it come July 28th.
Mmm.. Red one for me please! Then I'll just get myself an AC Adapter and Cradle, system transfer my stuff over and sell the regular 3DS to my brother. It'd be best to sell the old 3DS privately, because retailers like GAME will try to capitalise on some people inevitably selling their 3DS for the XL model.
I personally had no problems with the conference, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I felt that it better conveyed what the Wii U is all about, showing off some interesting games and new ways to play. I'm now looking forward to the 3DS Software Showcase a little later.
I'm 24 and proud of owning a 3DS. Heck, I'm proud of owning anything made by Nintendo. Sony will NEVER win me over with anything they produce, I hope they go bust.

Re: Review: Transformers: Dark of the Moon - Stealth Force Edition (3DS)
@jkgatling Hey, don't bash the movie for crying out loud. The movie was brilliant.
Unfortunately, as with most movie-game tie-ins, they are always going to be sub-par.
