3DS vs. 3DS XL
madrocsz:
I didnt jump on the DS XL bandwagon but am seriously tempted to get a 3DS XL, the screen is just that much of a size difference and honestly more comfortable to hold. Reg DS makes my hand cramp
Superchop:
Can you try out any of them? If anything you could go to a best buy, GameStop or anywhere that still has a 3ds xl stand and see how you like the feel of it. And maybe try to see if any of your friends have a regular 3ds and hold and feel that one (although I honestly didn't feel much a difference between a ds lite and a 3ds in terms of size and feel).
Other then that I'd probably go the xl. I'd have gotten that one but I couldn't pass up the Zelda 3ds when it was released lol.
Also, like someone mentioned, I'm sure there'll be a new 3ds soon that has an integrated 2nd circle pad as opposed to buying the addon piece

tempted to pick an XL up, but i'm still kinda hoping that they'll incorporate a second stick. it's not all that likely, but still.

Damn! Did not know this :(

I have a XL and while I haven't really held a regular one, it certainly is a lot easier for me to hold than a lite...
Most of the other points have been said already, although I also like how the stylus is at the side in the XL, rather than at the back
Oh and also I lucked out and bought it on Boxing Day when is was $50 off at Best Buy :>
