Well, that's why you can choose.
The original 3DS is very portable.

If the XL is too big for you, there's an easy solution: Ignore it.
For those who want it, hey great!
Win for both sides.

What I want to know is, where can I import a white 3DS LL that isn't going to price gouge?

Hmmm I might pick this one up after all....it was coming anyways that's for sure it was told when the 3DS was just released. I carry my 3DS in my backpack so it wouldn't bother if I had it there roomwise.

Careful guys. The 3DS LL's lower screen will leave marks on the top screen, just like the old model.  I noticed it in just a couple days after owning it. Now I've got some custom bumpers on it and it's been doing great.

Another criticism is that the colors aren't quite as vibrant as those on the 3DS, and considerably less vibrant than those on the DS-lite/DSiXL.

Improvements include the larger screen, more practical 3DS slider, loose hing fix by having two 'snap in' settings, better L, R, and star/select/home buttons.

I've heard that the 3D "sweet spot" is bigger because of the larger 3D screen.  Do you notice a difference?

L___E___T

I've noticed that for sure.  But to be honest, having a larger screen itself is just such an improvement.

Is it true that 3DS XL battery lasts six more hours than the regular 3DS?

manuel

No.
The battery lasts only a bit more. Maybe 6 hours in total.

The battery is a huge improvement, but it's still no GBA SP. I'd say it's decent, where the 3DS was abysmal.

I haven't drained it completely, but 6 hours sounds about right if the battery level indicator is right.

I played a lot last night, mostly DS games, and the controller placement is more comfortable, but my hands still hurt after a while.

I was looking at Amazon's 3DS and the regular costs way less than £100 now, and to be honest, I like the standard size, so I think I'll skip the XL form.

Anyway, while PS Vita is technically better than 3DS, I haven't even considered add the console to my wishlist, the games available for it don't seem nothing spectacular or surprising that weren't available before on PS3.

Regardless of how many times people complain about Super Mario it never gets old, and Nintendo doesn't screw up Mario like Sega did for Sonic several years. ;D

By the way, this is false advertisement:



PlayStation Vita is NOT an HD console, it's very near to an HD resolution but it's not in HD.
