I think im leaning towards the red one, simple because the NES had a little bit of red in it. they both are not even my 3rd choice as colors go. Japan has the best one with the white. i feel like screaming im so pissed about the colors.

I don't get why the people who decide what colors to be released in different countries didn't give us the same ones in Japan...What point is there to even do that?

To be honest neither of them look very good...I think I'll stick with my original 3DS until a better one comes out.

I'm waiting until other colours come out - the red and the blue are ugly (although not quite launch aqua 3DS ugly) especially with the black interior. Plus it might be worth it as a small protest to tell Nintendo that it's not okay to pawn off the crappiest colours in North America.

Im sure they wont even notice our protest lol. My gf wanted a 3ds but i dont know if i should wait to get a ugly color or just get her a purple one right now. The small Screen on the current ones does kinda bother me. I mean its pretty small. (thats NOT what she said)

Please, for all that is holy, release a matte black XL. Or anything that isn't a "fun" color.

I don't know what color I will choose but I think I will get a 3DS XL and keep my other 3DS just have one and carry both so when I get Pokemon games I will have two systems so I can trade.

Edit* I have Flame Red 3DS so I might either choose Red to match or go with another color.

The quality looks like cheap plastic, my 3DS looks much nicer if you ask me.

They are both nasty TBH. The thing looks like crap. Why can't I just get a bigger 3DS? The DSI XL was great and was actually a bigger DSi.

This is not a 3DS XL, it's a crappy redesign with that horrible plastic matte garbage that chips off. Sorry Nintendo you just lost my money on this system.

Rant over.

I don't get why the people who decide what colors to be released in different countries didn't give us the same ones in Japan...What point is there to even do that?

Yea, I reckon they're just racist *kidding* :P , just don't buy it till the colour you like comes out. That should send them a message for releasing crap colours to western countries.

I'm thinking if i wait too long, the trade in offers will go away after a while. Does this happen?

I honestly don't care. I'm going to playing it. I literally walked into the store, grabbed the first 3DS I saw (aqua blue), walked out and started playing. The same thing will happen on August 19th. It's cool if the white one was available, but it's no biggie.

Well not really since alot of people still will want the 3ds , im honestly leaning towards selling the crap aqua blue one i have and getting either a black or a purple. Heck even the purple one looks like a classic n64. The new xls look like puke

The more I see of Blue the more I like it. But I'd prefer the Silver unit. I really dig the look of the 3DS XL after not liking it at first.

Also, why isn't anyone making the connection that the only reason Red/Blue are coming out at first in NA is because it releases the same day as Mario?

I'm sure Black, White or Silver will ship in October-December

Trading it in isn't your best option at all so you're going to get screwed regardless.

If you use your local craigslist you can get $100-$140 depending. The 3DS is staying in stores at $170 so price won't go down much.

I am going to wait for better colors, I like glossy finishes instead of the matte finish on the new 3D xl's.
