I just got a blue 3DS XL. I am wondering if I made the right decision, so I just want to see some opinions. Either way, the blue is cool and it doesn't change the gaming.

On another note, am I the only one that noticed they made red and blue systems because of red and blue 3D glasses? My mind is blown haha. :lol:

I got the blue too! And yeah I thought about the 3D thing when I was deciding which 3DS XL to buy. I wish there were more colours though, like orange or black.

I went to four different Targets just to find a blue one. It was worth it. :p

I voted blue. But I voted too fast. I might have voted silver, but I didn't expect to see it as poll choice.

Man when I was buying mine, I was about to get a Mario Bundle with a white 3DS and then there was a yellow Pikachu version but it really looked childish so I skipped them all and got a plain RED. Which is really awesome and kinda stylish lol... maybe the only version I'd like to have is the Fire Emblem one that is included in the bundle, but even this is unfortunately blue

I had spring break when the Pikachu version was launched and I really wanted it. By the time I got back, they were sold out everywhere. After thinking about it, I also decided it was a little childish looking or just meant for big Pokemon fans. I like Pokemon, but not that much.

I guess the only reason I would ever get a limited edition of a system is for future re-sale value (esp. if not opened).

Can't really say. Waited forever for the black one to come out. It's kinda plain, doesn't have that metallic hue the red/blue models have. I like that it's more inconspicuous though.

That Pikachu XL looks pretty horrible imo.

Damn I haven't thought of reselling it... just checked on e-bay they go for like 300 euros (3dsXL) I guess after 6+ months when the available stock runs out they might go up to 400+ if unsealed... damn I'm stupid. I think I'll go check the store tomorrow they might still have some left!

I have blue, I think it looks best. I don't like any consoles/electronics in red for some reason, it's just not a good colour for them. Black is always a great colour for electronics which I would have if Ninty made them in that colour.

Usually I always pick red over blue. Even in games like TF2 and Halo I try to be on the red team.

When I got my hands on a blue 3DS XL, I just really liked it though. I guess they're both really cool looking. I just never saw a red one in person.

I got red, I like it, what's nice though is the color is only on the outside of the shell, on the inside when you flip it open everything is a simple black, better looking IMO than the original 3DS color pattern.

Honestly, all of the NA colors suck. Nintendo gave us the finger in that regard. They all look like fisher price toys. 

I am a big fan of the all white, but an all black or the mint green/white schemes look good as well.

I vote blue, only because, for whatever ridiculous reason, a black model isn't available.

Get a black XL out there, Nintendo.

I forgot to mention this, but whenever I play Pokemon, I usually pick the water type as a starter. That's another small reason I got blue.

The red one looks the best for sure, but I'll never get one... I already own a standard 3DS... I wish that was red too, but that came out a few weeks after I bought the black one :(

It saddens me that Nintendo never goes for a green colour system (last one being the pokemon emerald GBA which is pretty rare now). The green Peacewalker PSP was so slick, I wish I had a 3DS of the same colour. They should have had a dark green 3DS XL bundle representing the year of Luigi.

I'm still waiting for a black one but I might settle for red due to the sexy pic above (also tired of hand cramps). The red looks acceptable in that picture but in the promotional artwork the red looks weird. I must see one in person.

I thought I would take a picture of my blue XL by DJ_Lae's picture for people who want to comare them. My photo isn't very good, but maybe it will help people with comparison.

I am actually going through the whole process of deciding what color I want because my Blue XL's (the one in the photo) screen just started getting this purple distortion when the 3D is off. I'm going to return it, but I am (again) deciding what color to go for.

I like the look of my red one. They looked crappy in Nintendo's photos but much less plasticky in real life. If there was a plain white or plain black one available I would have got that instead.

I'd like the blue Fire Emblem one or a white one if they were released in the US. Anyone know if they will be? Oh and that black Charizard one looks amazing as well.

I finally got around to returing the faulty 3DS and got the blue one again. My friend just got a red one, so I decided to go with blue.
