[Nick]

Is anybody planning to get one of these when they are released? They look a lot bigger than the other ones.

I haven't owned one since my Gamegear. Now that was legendary

Got mine on the way. My old DS was fantastic.

Have you used a 3DS one before? I tried one in GAME but couldn't really get the hand of the 3D feature.

I have, but to about the same extent you have as I gave it a quick pop in Toys R Us. You can change the 3D setting to make it stronger or even switch off, it's just a case of getting the sweet spot. When I tried it with Mario it was ace, my only issue was that the console was a bit small (I had the original chunky silver DS, preferred it far more than the smaller redesigns). The XL being announced sealed the deal for me. This reminds me, I should probably pick up a game or three too.

I saw those cards you could get that made things look 3d from a barcode on a code and that did look really good I might wait and see, I have no real need for one so won't get one just yet!

Waiting for the Wii U.

I've got the current 3DS (had since just after launch). Personally I don't find the 3D troublesome but unsure how it will work on a larger screen. However, I must admit, the novelty has now worn off.

Currently enjoying playing on my PS Vita - I'm sure that will wear off soon too.

Bit like wives I find.

I have, and love my 3DS - good catalogue of games out finally and more good one's to follow. Not getting the 3DS XL as I have no problems with the current one, but well worth getting.
When you get setup, you'll have a friend code - unlike the DS where the code was different per game, you have one code for the console itself, so put the code on here and you can play people on any online game that you and your friend have (Mario Kart 7 and Kid Icarus being fantastic examples)

Had the wii but the games were very childish and I got bored of them very quickly. Stick with my x box 360 thanks!

All hail the mighty Sega!

Miss there consoles. Still play the Dreamcast from time to time.

yes i had one too, it was good!!!

Gamegear had terrible battery life, I think maybe the Atari Lynx was worst of all. The Lynx was crap.

 

[Covstu]

yes it did to be fair but still couldnt work out how the gameboy was more successful with that green screen!!!

 

[Nick]

I had the TV tuner thing for the Game Gear. It was quality.

When is the release date for the 3DS XL?

 

[ajsccfc]

28th officially, although some shops are apparently saying tomorrow and I've seen people put photos of their orders arriving early (despite my order from the same place being listed still as 'processing')

Where did you order it from?

Originally from Sainsbury's on a code, but they messed the order and I couldn't re-use the voucher so Zavvi was next best.
