    I am very disappointed to the product because after I opened the box I notice immediately the scratches all over, I don’t know if it’s old or not but it looks like it was 2nd used. It was my first time to purchased a product at bestbuy online then I had this experience.

    I have owned several Gameboy since they first came out. This is the first one that didn't come with the power cord and had to be purchased separately. If it was not for that I would give the 3DS XL a 4 star rating.

    Bought this product and drove home to find out that it doesn't come with a charging cord. It would have been nice if someone at the store had informed me of this before I left. Terrible sales associates..

    Bought two of these,one for me and son. Mine has freezing issues. When I called bestbuy, they were extremely unhelpful. So now I have to wait a month to use my unit again, because I have to send it in to Nintendo to get fixed.

    Product review only

    I had the first generation 3ds and grew tired of using it because the 3D needed work as any deviation from center caused the 3D to blur and made my eyes hurt. Well they must have listened because the latest one is fantastic. The tracking works best in normal light. Bright back lighting like the sun will cause the 3D tracking to screw up and darkness will cause the same reaction. The screen size is a vast improvement over the first generation as well. Seems a bit faster than the first one, but not that noticeable. I would recommend this to anyone that either doesn't have one or has the first generation. Well worth the upgrade.

    A solid improvement on the original 3DS XL

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    As an owner of the original 3DS XL, I am extremely pleased with the improvements made to the "New" 3DS XL. The head-tracking 3D feature greatly improves upon the 3D features of the original, causing less eye strain while playing. The feature also allows the user to move his/her head without having to reorient the screen. A major complaint of mine from the prior 3DS XL was the placement of the volume and wireless controls. It was easy to bump both of these switches while playing games, switching wireless off or turning the volume on at inopportune times. The New 3DS XL also feels a bit faster and does boast slightly improved graphics over the original, though I haven't seen major improvements yet. One issue Nintendo has not addressed is the wireless connection. Though they claim to have improved it, Nintendo stuck with an older 802.11G system. This has caused major slowdown on my wireless network which uses the newer 802.11N standard because all devices on an 11N network can only operate at the speed of the slowest device. Finally, my biggest complaint is that the New 3DS XL does not come with a power adapter. While this is not a big issue for owners of the previous 3DS XL, first time 3DS buyers will have to spend extra money on a charger. Despite its shortcomings, the New 3DS XL is well worth the money.
