I wanna buy a 3DS XL solely for Pokemon X or Y. For some reason I just got really nostalgic when I watched the announcement and I wanna get a 3DS XL for it. But I don't really like the colors available for it (red & blue). So does anyone know if there are gonnna be new colors out by October? And no I'm not settling for a normal 3DS. Even though that midnight purple color is sexy af, I have big hands and need an XL :(

Right?? The purple 3DS my little brother has is awesome, but my hands are just too big. I was surprised when I was looking at available 3DS XL colors and they only had 2?? Not even like a white or black version in the U.S. :(

I got the red one and it looked better than I expect out of the box, though you'll easily forget about the color once you flip one open and awe at the larger screen. Plus unlike some other 3DS models the 3DS XL I have is all black on the inside, while some shots of the original 3DS show a black upper part on the inside and colored lower part, inside my XL at least everything is black, looks better this way IMO.

The XL's appearance is too bland for my taste. I wish they would have retained the glossy paint job inherent to the original designs. It may attract fingerprints yes, but at least it looked good.

They will probably release a new version with both the matte and the gloss. They did that with the DSi XL.

I wonder how long that will take. And I wonder if I'm patient enough to wait for it. :(

I may be wrong, i dunno if it's certain the next 3DS will be both matte and gloss, but the DSi XL was both those, so that might be possible.

Would be nice for some new colors. I do love my flame red 3DS though, feels really small after carrying around a DS Phat for 7 years.

I couldn't wait so I bought a red XL via Amazon and received it today. I must say it's a good looking system. The matte grey finish is actually darker than what photos online might have us believe. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with it.

The Pink and White XL is actually Limited Edition. I saw one yesterday and I'm thinking about picking it up.

I know, it's PINK, but it's also White (more White than Pink, actually) and I REALLY want a White 3DS. This is probably the closest we're gonna get to one.
