Reader Discussion: What Do You Think Of The 3DS XL?
Nintendo recently announced the 3DS XL, which boasts a much bigger playing area and screen, among other features. Tell us what you think of the handheld's new version.
Even though it doesn't matter to me (my hands are child-sized), I think the XL version is great for people whose larger hands don't fit the smaller original hardware. I'm not sure how I feel about the lack of a second circle pad, though.
What do you think? Are you going to buy the XL? Why or why not?
Note: The 3DS XL pictured above is the white version, which will be available in Japan.
