Serebii Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Shopto will be shipping them early anyway, right? Hope so. It's the first time I'm buying hardware from them. Got my Wii U pre-order with them too so hoping it works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canand Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Apparently this is now launching on the Friday rather than the Saturday. Or at least they can be picked up from GAME on that date. Anyone else heard different? I haven't heard anything about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fused King Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Am I to understand that NINTENDO has uphold their tradition of alternating between coating of their handhelds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Okay. So that code doesn't work but theresanew one. So the red 3ds xl ordered! Can't wait. Sainsburys aren't the best,but let's hope they pleasantly surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aneres11 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Here is a good vid that shows the blue console off really well for those who still can't decide. Like me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aneres11 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Had a go on the silver one, it was lovely cant wait to pick one up, i tempted by that blue I think silver is the way forward for me too ya know! Blue and red are both nice but I think silver works better with the black. You decided what colour you're going for?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dem0- Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Thanks Aneres, that blue XL is looking mighty fine. Even happier I ordered that one now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzybee Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hmmm. The blue does look good... I went with the red... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Cookie Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I decided on red! Grey is a tad too boring for my liking, blue is nice but not really my thing, and red looks too much like a Virtual Boy to let it pass by. :p Still, a yellow or purple one wouldn't go amiss...

Pookiablo Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I also went with red! Pre-order it earlier today. I actually have a Silver XL in my flat atm (got a review system on loan from Nintendo) and that was my least favourite before and it's still my least favourite now. It just looks so dull. Either way, if you're upgrading and you haven't tried it yet, you're in for a treat. It's superb. Looking forward to hopefully winning my first ever GP in the MK7 league on it, too!

RedShell Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 To those that already have a 3DS XL, @Mike, @Pookiablo, @Ashley etc... How do the screens (top screen especially) hold up outside during the day? Does the anti-glare that was mentioned in the Iwata Asks really work, or do you still just see your reflection in the screens when playing in bright lighting conditions?

Does the anti-glare that was mentioned in the Iwata Asks really work, or do you still just see your reflection in the screens when playing in bright lighting conditions? I had a quick go outside today, and the screen looked a bit better, glare-wise, but can't remember whether I could see myself in it! I'll have a look tomorrow morning, if I remember, before it gets whisked back to Nintendo HQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 About the GAME trade in deal...is it confirmed that you can trade in your 3DS at a later date in order to transfer your stuff over to the 3ds xl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a look tomorrow morning, if I remember, before it gets whisked back to Nintendo HQ. Just put your old 3DS in the XL box when you send it back, I'm sure they won't notice. I had a lot of trouble taking photos in the office due to the lights and the resulting glare.Damn. Would you say it was any better compared to the standard 3DS though?

Grazza Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I saw a 3DS XL today in GAME. The screen is huge! It really looks like the best handheld Nintendo has ever made. I could never quite say that about the original 3DS, as the DSi XL always had something over it (ie. the size), but the 3DS XL is the best of both worlds.

Jav_NE Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Had a play on this in Gamestation earlier. Don't like it. Feels cheap. I hate the plastic feel and the buttons under the bottom screen are dreadful. Nice big screen and everything, but il be sticking with the classier, shiny original thank you very much.
