Just bought mine (doing system transfer as I type) and I'm super psyched! Immediately I prefer the matte finish of the XL vs the shiny exterior of the OG 3DS. Also, I'm loving all the curves of the design. I've never had an issue playing the system for long intervals like some, but holding onto the XL, it is instantly much more comfortable to grip and feels more akin to an actual controller which is nice,
To those in the market for a black XL (or any color for that matter), check out your local Target. I got this Black 3DS XL (on its launch day no less) for $175.00 on sale this week! I'm gonna also trade in my OG 3DS to Gamestop which is giving double credit on used systems this week as well. I'm gonna flip that credit into eshop cards and finally take advantage of that Fire Emblem/ SMTIV deal and pick up some other stuff that I've been waiting to get as well. In anticipation of all this, I got a new 32GB Sony (
) SD card for $20 off amazon to hold all my digital goodies.
I'm so excited!
