I love this game system

I love this game system. The design is great, and having had a regular 3DS and this 3DS XL the XL is definitely better, well in terms of grip. The image is bigger, but the resolution is the same. But it's worth it to me because seeing stuff was harder on a smaller screen. Plus my hands would cramp on the smaller 3DS, and I can play for an hour or more no problem on this system.

its a bit pricy but worth it

I think that investing in a 3ds is a good thing since most games will probably be released as a 3ds game in the future and it is also backwards compatible for ds games. I think it is designed better then the normal 3ds (i am a big person so the normal 3ds was a bit cramped for me ^^;) but the price is a large gap but the quality and how it is a limited edition i believe to make it worth it. The delievery was very fast i think i got it about 2-3 days after the purchase date and everything was in the box when i recieved it. 2ds are also a good alternative having the capability of 3ds but lower price (it looks fragile to me though)

Worth the money if you can afford it for a handheld

The item was more less everything I expected it to be. The Gloss on the outside was nice and the size wasn't to big; actually is a improvement from the normal size of a DS. The 3D effect for anyone new to it; is very beautiful to look at while playing, but is however more dependent on the game than anything as its from their end the level of 3D within the game itself ( Some do it better than others ). Only issue is sometimes finding the right angle to view the game from on the top screen to get the best effect; without causing you to strain your eyes. The battery life is reasonable, long as your not looking to play it for 8 hours at a time...you should be golden. The sound I wish was alittle louder on the handheld but nothing too much to gripe about I suppose ( never had any issues with the battery playing; 2 hours here..2 there,etc ). Remember to get something to whip the bottom touch screen with as it can attract finger prints like crazy if your not using the stylus to interact with things. Overall, its a very nice item and can't say I have any real complaints about it. The pokemon designs on the outside is rather nice as well; beats a plain color any day.

Don't Pay Attention to Those Other Reviews

No, this does not come with the Pokemon X or Pokemon Y game, but if you studied the product enough, you would know that. I am a hardcore Pokemon fan and have been for years. This is a limited addition collectable so it is obviously going to be more money than a normal 3DS XL, and regular 3DS XLs are about $200 anyway and I got my limited edition 3DS XL for about $230, which in my mind is a fantastic deal. With all these things can do, they're not that much money in my opinion, but I know that $230 is still a lot of money. This is a beautiful gaming system and I recommend it for all hardcore Pokemon fans. I am extremely happy I finally got mine because it is a collectable. Just in case you're wondering, yes, it comes with it's own charger but 3DS' use the same charger as a DSi/DSi XL so I haven't used mine at all.

Works great, fast delivery

Wanted to jump into the 3ds scene so I purchased this. My delivery was fast. Upon receiving my package, I didn't notice any dents or bruises on the box so that was good. Only thing i'm a little bummed out about (which has nothing to do with this order) is Nintendo is now offering pokemon Y OR X for free with a new purchase of a system and one game. I had already purchased Pokemon X and Mario so I wasn't able to snatch that deal up. Will be looking to purchasing a expanded sd card in the future. It comes with a 4gb one just incase anyone was wondering.

Great!

Came with only some minor scratches on the right, not affecting the overall look of the 3DS. The console runs smoothly and there was an sd card already inserted. The package arrived in an envelope with bubble wrap, so no parts were damaged. The 3DS came with a charger and stylus as described. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who want a cheaper deal for a limited edition console.

Awesome design, awesome gameplay, just awesome!

I'm in love with this!! I used all of my birthday money to buy this and a couple of games. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and I love how unique the design on it is. Such an upgrade from my original Nintendo DS's quality way back when.

I want to be the very best, like no one ever was

I want to be the very best, like no one ever was. To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause. I will travel across the land, searching far and wide. It's a 3DS!

I love my 3DS

I love my 3DS! The Pokémon look is GREAT, much better than it appears on the picture. It's maybe a little bit expensive for the console only (the Pokémon game is NOT included), but if you are a fan of Pokémon like me, it's worth the price!!

Great present

My grandson loves this
