When it was originally revealed I didn't care much for the 3DS XL, but now I'm really craving one despite already owning a 3DS.
Looks even better than I thought
gotta say, it looks nice, the size makes it seem thin, I just wish it didn't magnify the jaggedy edges, if only it had 90% more PPI, or just anti-aliasing
They had me at "improved viewing angle".
@Maxram0 from what I hear it passes through a filter making the jaggies problem better
@Maxram0
They said it might've had a "filter" of sorts to make the image softer, so that'll probably help with the picture. See http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=180055#p655153
And anti-aliasing really just depends on the game, some 3DS games have it, some don't.
Wow!! It looks better than I thought.
Such big screens...Whats not to like!
@LegendofSantiago@The_King_Up_North
thanks for the tip, was out for the day, so I missed that bit reading, I must say, I like the sounds of things so far, all that is left for me to purchase it is the right price point
Why Nintendo WHY?!! I need you in my life XL.
@Maxram0no problem, I'm pretty exited for it
Love my DSiXL.
I'm very interested in this, my only concern is how it impacts the 3D effect.
When I first got my 3DS I couldn't play any games in 3D, now I really enjoy doing so. If I wasn't able to do so b/c of the larger screen I'd be very disappointed. I want to try it out before I pre-order, but if I can view the 3D well, I'll be getting one of these.
awesome, it looks like wi-fi led doesn't blink anymore. really bothered me on regular 3ds.

New french preview here:

- the screen looks good, very good
- while the image looked worse on a DSiXL than on a DSi, it's not the case here. 3DSXL pixels look as defined as on 3DS.
- the screen seems very luminous
- 3D effect is more comfortable and more immediate
- the analog stick is more convenient to use, no need to bend your thumb anymore
Huge screen
Better viewing angle
3D effect looks better/more effective/more natural
2D mode looks better than regular 3DS
Image looks better/softer (they assume there might be some filter but not sure)
The grip (round corners) fit nicely
Unit fits better in hands (they wonder if it should've been the main design in first place)
Unit is lighter than they expected
There's a coat in the unit (not fully matte) that gives it a "deluxe plastic imitating metal" look
Not sure at the sound as the room was quite noisy
Cool I can't wait till July 28th to get my Red 3DS XL
