I have the Aqua Blue 3ds and I really don't plan to get any other 3ds system until when my 3ds starts to get old and I feel that I can't get the full experience out of it . Like my 3ds does have touch screen sctratches for intense Kid Icarus : Uprising and the Circle Pad is starting to fall off due to fishing aggresively in Ocarina of Time but hey, I can still play properly so i am content with that . Any body who doesn't have a 3ds and plans to get one should get the new 3ds XL because it is for the better
