Nintendo 3DS XL
mariocaseman:
The 3DS is going XL on the same day new Super Mario Bros. 2 comes out... Makes me extra pissed I paid $250 for the little 3Ds at launch when the XL is only going to be $200. I immediately called Nintendo to verify that our DsiWare and e-shop stuff could be transferred. Check out the video:

This is exactly why I don't have any modern consoles. It's not even just Nintendo, it's everyone and they get away with it because people always want the next best thing. What ever happened to just being happy with what you have?
Also, it's funny how people bitch and complain about price when, you could have waited and price would have went down as time went on, you didn't have to buy it right then and there when it came out, but you did, it was your decision so you're as much to blame as the company that sold it to you.
Now this is not me pointing at you mariocaseman, this is me pointing at people in general nowadays.
It's your money so you can't tell these people what to do with it, but really simply take your loss, sell last years model, or keep last years model be happy with what you have cause some people don't have it, hell why not give it to them and stop bitching about something you bought into in the first place. The companys obviously have done their jobs, and that's why they make money.

I personally bought mine for $79 brand new when it first came out! Can't wait for the XL, that's a HUGE b*tch!

Sweet! I'm not waiting this time around like I did with the DSi XL. Those things are too damned pricey on eBay and I still want one pretty badly.
Good thing I only paid about 60 bucks for my 3DS ;D

I'm actually pretty excited about this. I knew they'd do this going in... I mean the form factor of the 3DS, particularly the edges was a step back from DS Lite/DSi, so it seemed inevitable that they would release a redesign. And I too missed out on DSi XL. I also really like the matte finish, which is something I don't like about my current 3DS with all the fingerprints and scratches showing easily. DS Lite/DSi was my favorite handheld for a long time so this should be great!
I'm actually glad they skipped over a "3DS Lite" and went straight for the XL approach. I'm finding more and more that I don't really take my 3DS out and about with me like I did with my GBA SP in high school, so I'd almost prefer a bigger system.
Plus I think of handhelds like phones - I don't mind upgrading every year or two. Now consoles on the other hand, I hate it when there's a revision soon after the original.
