Which do you prefer between the 3DS and the 3DS XL?

Yeah, true. Nothing hurts to be safe like that. And I hope you do too~ The XL is easier to hold as well :3

I want a 3DS XL, but with the circle pro included :p
(Also, that means a little bigger battery)

2DS isn't all that bad in real life. I have a friend who decided to get one (although he isn't really a "younger kid"), and it actually seems good aesthetically. Also, if I remember correctly doesn't it have better battery life and all than the original 3DS?

Same battery. Of course, with mono speakers, non 3D and just one screen, it lasts 30 minutes more :p

2ds does not fold and they dont realy fit in your pocket. Also a 3ds has 3d which i realy like. and i dont need a 3dsxl i already have a 3ds and i got it new for 120$ not on sale :)

2DS is about the same size as the 3DS honestly. It wouldn't be too hard to fit in one's pocket (I know I'm able to even with the 3DS XL)

it depends on your pocket size. lol. but also the 2ds screen is easer to get scratched.

The screens on the 2DS are left out in the open. More prone to damage than the actual DS style. Which I don't like having to use any type of screen protector. Makes the screen look weird.

ok that I can kind of agree on. But then again, you could always get a 2DS cover to mitigate that issue

Getting 3DS for the same price would be a rare case though. In your case you were able to, but I'm pretty sure 2DS price is typically much smaller than that of the 3DS

I prefer the larger screen so I went with the 3DS XL. I don't carry it around much so it's perfect for me.
I'm with you but I carry it around in my bag to get play coins :D

When ever I go out I usually bring a black bag with me lol and stuff my stuff inside of it including my 3ds and walk around for play coins and hoping to encounter a street pass tag fact : not many people in Singapore have a 3DS :L

I don't think I will ever carry my 3DS XL, after the incident that happen with my 3DS.

What incident happened with your 3DS? lol must have missed it somewhere...did you drop it? :p

I prefer the 3DS XL as the screens are 90% larger lol so it's easier to play games and enjoy them with the big screens:) I have the 3DS anD 3DS XL ;)

It does look a lot bigger but it doesn't really look like 90% bigger from my POV.

What do you mean, like when you start to play the game you don't notice the size difference in comparisons with the 3DS, right ?
