Sorry. My mistake. It is just a DSi.

With the current exchange rate, the price comes to $289.99

WTF $289.99 For a Wii, a DSi and two games? $289.99? I'll take 4 of them, thanks.

J/k that shit is too damn expensive for two platforms that are on their way out.
 
Is there any game that could logically be bundled with a White or Silver XL in NA for Black Friday?

There better be something for XL >:(
 
Damn those Blue pics, I need good Red pics to keep me from swapping.

These good? ;)
 
I prefer it that way. I want to be able to see the art every time I close or open the system. don't care whether people looking at me play get to see it.
Why?

99% of the time you're seeing it non-indicative flat form on a table or desk or something. Turn it around, too, so it faces you?

And dare not you play it near a mirror!
 
Are these yours? the lighting is not the same as in the blue one pics, so in these i can't see the nice effect of the paint that the blue XL has.
Nah, these were posted from Siliconera, not me. Photos like the Blue on the last page won't come until the release on July 28
 
I'm thinking I'll get red, but don't care in the slightest.

Maybe I'll half-and-half it with a Sharpie. Or put some stickers on it.

Anyone else in the who-gives-a-shit-what-the-outside-looks-like crowd?

And if you do something crazy to it it's easier to recognize as yours from a distance.
 
A rumor from Go Nintendo, so take it with a grain of salt for now...

The following information supposedly comes from A GameStop manager ...

- stores will be offering a better upgrade incentive for those trading in a 3DS towards a 3DS XL
- in-store data transfer for those trading 3DS to 3DS XL

Would be really nice if true, but I don't know... I'm not trading in, but this would be great for those who do

I hope this turns out to be true. Having to buy the XL up front to do the data transfer is pretty off-putting to me.
 
anybody know the 3DS trade in credit towards a 3DS XL percent at gamestop. Isnt it always like 30% plus power up reward member another 10% so 40%? so isnt that a whole of like 105 somethin dollars..? Might do this if transfer is available in store...even though I love my aqua blue I need that bigger screen.
 
I gave in and preordered a Japanese White 3DS LL from amazon japan. I haven't been able to try it out at any of my local stores in Japan, but I figure if I don't like it I could always sell it and keep my original white 3DS, so I don't have much to lose.

Here's hoping it's awesome!

You could sell it to me if you don't like it ;)

Be sure to give us pics when you get it!
 
@drago:
Yeah, I'll take some pics this weekend. I'm thinking of a pic of the white 3ds, white 3ds LL and white vita all lined up. :)
 
US colors looks awful, when will the white one be released?
If NoA chooses to release that next (don't know how likely that is but they would probably go Silver first) then maybe 3-6 months.

I'm holding out for White so I hope it's there for the holidays

That would make me furious with jealousy :P

I eagerly await the pics. I don't think there is a single real pic or video of White yet
 
I'll take any of Silver, White, or Black.
Yeah, Silver should be the first new color they release after launch I bet. Baffling that it isn't there at launch, really...

I just want White or some color I don't expect, but if OG 3DS was any indication, White may never come. :(

The blue is nice but it looks like a toy. The silver is boring but classy. I want my white.
Fixed for my opinion :p
 
ya'll got bad taste. i guess it can't be helped!

honestly, the "i want every handheld/console to be the same boring colors forever" crowd is only slightly less weak than the "i dont play handhelds outdoors because people might know i'm playing video games" crowd. both groups prolly wear turtlenecks in the summer and talk about post-fusion alternative jazz with their math teachers because they're so booooooooooooorrring

The blue looks like a toy

i'm not sure what else you expect a portable video game device to be
 
The all-white and Gamecube-purple models make it impossible for me to buy the XL now.

I will have to wait till either of them are released in Europe. Not that blue, red, or silver are bad, but those two are something else entirely. If they aren't released I cannot buy the XL either, because I will still be waiting patiently. In vain.
 
Are the purple and transparent real models that will be at retail? Will the blue come out in Eu too?

I think the purple is a mock-up, the transparent one is a pic from "Iwata asks: 3DSXL".

Whether something similar will ever be sold is anyone's guess.

As far as I know. I'd be very happy to be corrected.

The purple model exists exactly nowhere, though, it's just a mockup.
