both as an a collector or are you planing to play both of them? if so, why?

I preordered Y but I don't see the point of trading in my red 3DS XL which is working perfectly. I'm not really a fan of limited edition collectibles.

That being said, I might be willing to decorate my 3DS XL with stickers and other stuff.

I'd rather have had the Charizard 3ds XL come over or even the gold one.

I completely agree. I LOVED the gold special edition one and would have considered ordering it even though I have a perfectly good 3DS already. But I won't be getting either of these consoles.

I like limited edition consoles when they're done right, though. I snagged a refurbished Zelda 3DS for cheap recently and I love it. Simple, elegant design.

I haven't pre-ordered them yet, I'll just buy both versions later. I'm planning to buy the blue 3DS XL though.

BjoernClausen September 21st, 2013 10:31 PM

I've ordered the blue XL system. I already own a red 3DS, but will need a trade console anyways (since I'll be buying both games, and will trade with myself - I'm unsocial that way! ;)).
My main game will be X, because I like the legendary much better!

Speaking from a widely known game distribution co. I'd definitely would pre order the one you want. it's only a 50$ deposit to make sure you get the one you want. You should have seen how fast the Pikachu 3ds XL's flew. They were sold out in 2 days at my store.

Xerneas_X September 25th, 2013 9:12 AM

I preordered mine, the blue one from BestBuy on Sept 17. and today got a email saying the Order is ready for in-store pickup Tomorrow on the 26th! 1 day earlier than official release date! I'm excited!

Drunken Shinobi September 25th, 2013 12:59 PM

Congratulations! Can't wait to have mine delivered already!

Xerneas_X September 25th, 2013 3:58 PM

Yes, just called my local Best Buy store pickup location, verified that they received the consoles today, however are not allowed to release them until Tomorrow Sept. 26th. 1 day before everywhere else you can pre-order from apparently.

If you still haven't ordered your Pokemon 3DS XL X&Y Limited Edition, I highly recommend Best Buy, because they have the cheapest price around since they offer Free Shipping or Local Pick-Up.

Gamestop, Toys R Us, WalMart, Target, Fry's etc. all were either slightly more or wanted to charge for shipping and/or offered no In-Store Pick-Up.

This was my order for the Limited Edition Blue (SPRSBMAB)
Product Total: $199.99
Shipping: $0.00
CA Sales Tax: $18.00
Order Total:
$217.99

I am sure if you place your pre-order today and set for Local Pickup you too will get to pick it up tomorrow, 1 day before release. But Act Quick! look's like BestBuy is sold out of the Red version for online ordering, however a few stores shows it's still in stock for local purchase, while the Blue version is still available for online order and sold out in a few local stores.

Yeah, I don't think so, koff~

I wasn't going to get a 3DS until they announced a game that I'd actually want tot get. And with New Super Smash Bros coming out I just had to pick one up. I'll be getting a Blue 2DS. Mainly because the 'clamshell' that everyone is so hooked on was getting a tad stale for me. I almost broke my DSi the other day because of the design (long story short, it didn't break) and I don't think either the 3DS or the 3DS appeal enough for me to spend that whopping $199.99 plus tax! The 2DS is within my budget, seems less 'clunky' somehow and doesn't have the clicky buttons. I read a review on the system [2DS] about how the other ds systems have notoriously clicky buttons. I thought it was a lie and now I can't un-hear the clicks! I don't think I'd be able to enjoy the 3D factor anyways. And before you go off on portability and function, I have owned the PSP and the PS Vita, both of which do not fold and fit comfortably in my pockets with their cases on. Besides, if I was to drop my system in the muck, I'd be just devastated, koffi~

Xerneas_X September 26th, 2013 12:51 PM

Just got back from Best Buy with my Console \o/!

Nintendo 3DS XL Limited Edition X/Y Blue Unboxing (Photos)
 
Just picked up my Pokemon Nintendo 3DS XL Blue Limited Edition X/Y console from Best Buy a day before release.

This is my very first Nintendo DS, I've never been into portable gaming before in the past, nor really played much of the Pokemon games, however this year I watched some playthroughs by Munching Orange and others over on Youtube of Pokemon Ash Gray, Sacred Gold, Creepy Black and such and those videos made me decide to download the roms and mods for those games and since then I been hooked! So when I saw there was a 3D pokemon game coming out and a console to go with it, I knew I had to get them both! so a couple weeks ago, I finally placed my pre-order for both the X Console and X game. I originally wanted to go with the Red Console, however I opted for blue because Xerneas is a better looking Pokemon than Yveltal in my own opinion, So I decided to go the X/Blue route all the way!

I can't wait until the X&Y games release! For now I'll be visiting my nearby GameStop and see if I can pick up some games to hold me over until then!



Anyways, as the title of this post suggests, I took the liberty to take some photos of the console :)!

All I can say is wow, it's a gorgeous unit, photos do not do it justice!



Dedenne September 26th, 2013 3:01 PM

It really is so pretty ^_^
I'd defo get blue if I didn't have one already :)

Guy September 26th, 2013 3:34 PM

Oh wow, Sorrow, your photos almost make me want to change my mind and get the Blue Edition asap. It really is a gorgeous system. If anyone else would like to share their pictures of their Special Edition X and Y 3DS XL, please feel free to share them here!

Rukario September 26th, 2013 4:02 PM

Not sure if any of you all got it but I did (: picked it up right when the store opened at GameStop! It's very stunning!!! I love it <3. Did any of you all get yours today?

billyjoseph September 27th, 2013 8:13 AM

I wish i was working to have the $$$ to drop on one of those sick suckers!

Typhon September 27th, 2013 8:23 AM

I saw the X one on a video recently. I must say that it's glossy finish is a good touch. My previous DSi XL had the same gloss effect, and I loved it. But you get fingerprint marks on it. :(

I might just get one. Even though I already have a red 3DS, why not get this one? It looks awesome and it always will be! Good work Nintendo!

Red is looking awesome :D makes me kinda have 2nd thoughts! I got my blue one yesterday from BestBuy, you can see my photos a couple post above yours :) both are simply gorgeous. Much better looking than the standard DS units with it's high gloss and better smoother feel.

billyjoseph September 27th, 2013 12:13 PM

They have them at Gamestop for $200 i thought they were going to be at least 400, maybe ill pick one up this weekend.

GeckoPutt September 27th, 2013 12:24 PM

Which one do you imagine to be rarer? The X & Y 3DS XLs or the Limited Edition Pikachu ones?

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 27th, 2013 12:35 PM

Seeing these pictures make me one to get one...but I already have a 3DS...even though it's joystick is acting up and the paint is peeling off it still work...if only I had the money I proably would buy an X 3DS XL...

The paint is peeling off? Yikes, koff~

May I ask what you're doing to it? Any special cleaning habits or storage issues? Do you leave it near water (on the counter when you take a shower) or some other form of degradation? Or is it just old? What type is it? Standard 3DS or 3DSXL? I don't mean to be rude, I'm just wondering, koffi~
