The Nintendo 3DS XL is out next week and if you’re keen on entering the 3DS world or upgrading your 3DS, launch time is usually the best time to pick up a bargain. At least until the price drops $100 on you in 6 months. Am I right?
We’ve looked up all the usual local retailers to find the best bargain for you, the 3DS XL is a pretty good grab at the $249 RRP already but we think you can do better.
The Nintendo 3DS XL comes in three colours in Australia. Silver, Red and Blue and DO come with a charger. This is Australia dammit, we get chargers. (but not docks – James)
If you not sure about the Nintendo 3DS XL maybe you should watch our 20 minute hands on video of it which goes in depth about the new system. It’s pretty rad, we like it. Rad. That’s what the cool kids say right?

- Trade in a Nintendo 3DS and get your XL for $129 ($99 if you buy NSMB2) – Check with your manager if they allow a transfer from your original 3DS in store. You’ll need a wireless access point to use to start the transfer as it requires the internet to transfer licenses.
