I love my 3ds XL. I originally had just the regular 3ds and still loved it but the bigger model is way better for graphics and battery life. I take mine everywhere and recommend it to everyone i know.

Over the years as a Nintendo Player, im am Glad to be a owner of a 3DS XL, Well First The Size and the Shape for the XL is Amazing, I would get my hand hurted on my normal 3DS But playing it for longer time on the XL makes it more comfortable in my hand and Even thou I have Big Hands I can Enjoy playing Like Kingdom Hearts DDD for a longer period of time. The Screen Size is an amazing improvment, I can See the 3D more clearly than before. The Stylus is Better cause it no longer a slider and bigger with my big hands at all and it is not on top of the 3Ds and Like the DS lite and DSi, Also To metion it back to the Slider Volume From the DS lite Which I think it better. The Home Select and Start Button I like Cause it all seperate and easy to press, Also the L and R buttons are Bigger and now Easy to press cause the games I have could really need this without my fingers hurting after a few hours of play. The Battery Is one of the Best Part, Even with power Saver I got more hours on my 3DS than Ever Before . The Memory is Amazing cause I Downloaded Two 3DS retail games on the E shop and still got more memory to download even more games which is a Definate impovment. Now my Cons, Well it big in my pockets even if i have big pockets in my jeans which is my only complaint at the moment. But Overall, This is a nice improvment. If your new to the 3DS, Get this. Also it good to upgrade from the normal 3DS. So I say Get a 3DS XL cause this is a Great improvment from Nintedo until Nintendo Trows somthing more amazing.

i bought this yesterday and it did not disapoint however if a tilt my head even a little the stereoscopic 3d mingles and you end up with a double image but its much more comfortable because the edges no longer dig into your palms also the 3 can be completely turned of instead of minimal depth lastly i was happy because the pixels were ok and stayed the same resolution and the start select and home buttons are actually buttons

I bought this system because playing long sessions of 3D on the original 3DS is kinda pain in the eyes with the smaller screen, now with the great larger display on the 3DS XL everything is better for playing long sessions of 3D content on it. Apart of the screen it comes with a 4GB great for download demos like metal gear and kingdom hearts and most recently the awesome fire emblem. The battery is... kinda meh because they claim that it just more hours of power and I find it like one hour and half more than the original, obviously with brightness on 5 and and save power mode off and sound from the speakers. Talking about the speakers I have to say that this is the low point of the 3DS XL, they sound very low about nearly 45% or 50% lower comparing with the original 3DS system, but is nothing too important if you have a pair of headphones. I easily recommend this system to everyone, it have an awesome library and more to come in 2013 and beyond.

I love hand held gaming, and I always have. This is a wonderful system. I had the 3DS and traded up for the 3DS XL. I am so glad I did. Not only better battery life, but much better 3D effect, and it feels better in my hands. This is a great system, and I am so used to playing in 3D that 2D looks boring now. Enjoy!

Great system. I was hesitant at first to get 3DS, but playing on the larger screen and taking advantage of motion control, AR, and internet connectivity sold me. The 3D is enough to keep you hooked, IT WORKS...and it is something no other system can deliver. In a time where I can play games just as fun on my smart phone, you need something to keep you coming back to the handheld, and this DELIVERS.
When i got my 3DSXL (Red) it came with some dead/stuck pixels so I had to exchange it for a new one, no big deal, but very annoying. My replacement is great though. Grab some of Nintendo's screen protectors for it as well, they are super east to install and are not noticeable at all.

The system is so cool. For those who thinks it is ugly when you take it out of that box the colors stand so strong and it looks fantastic. The large screens make the display near perfection. The matte finish doesnt hog fingerprints/grease. Fits nestedly into your hands. For those who complain about the lack of a 2nd circle pad, this is a 3DS XL if it had duel circle pads it would be a completely new ds. Anyway the system is great and worth whatever your upgrading from.

With its larger screens and better design than the original 3DS the XL is an improvement but not perfected. A second analog stick is what's wanted but not absolutely necessary. Also the resolution is not as sharp but its easier to see. The big question is will Nintendo come out with a third generation 3DS? I believe the answer will be yes however don't expect it soon cause they will be focused on the Wii U. With that said I recommend the upgrade to the XL.

No screen protectors at launch. classic games from the nintendo eshop still have black bars on the sides and now with the larger screen they have even bigger black bars not cool nintendo. larger battery rocks easy to transfer data from one 3ds to another but expensive needs to keep 169.00 price tag

i recently bought a 3ds xl and played it for 3 days night and day, it was pretty fun to play.But than i encountered a dead pixel and had to take back and get new one. After that i see a piece of dust like stuck under the screen that no matter how much i wipe it wont come off.I didn't want to take back for the 2nd time in a row. And for their to be no screen protectors out day 1 is crazy. so i ordered some hori brand one online and will try that out. as long as my screen will stay clear and in good health i will keep it.And their need to be a new media update giving the audio a equalizer installed to better the sound.A longer record time and a separate video folder for us to put FULL movies on.I think depending on sd size the higher the save file can be.Time to step your game up nintendo or else hardcore fans will walk away.

I just got mine today and i love it. Playing the games on the bigger 3D screen is amazing. I played it all day and the battery was still going strong. It was easy to set up and feels solid. I would highly recommend this for other people! My only complaint is that they should have made it this way the first time!
