I want to take this poll to discuss the results on my podcast later this week. We were disucssing it when it was announced and we both ended up pretty torn on whether or not we were going to get it. How about you?

Oh yes, definitely! Then I'm going to import a bunch of cover plates, and change them frequently. It's going to be great. This device would be 3DS #3 for me, adding to my Pikachu and Yoshi 3DS devices.

I already have my 2ds in good shape so I don't need a new one. But if I didn't have it I'll definitely consider a Pokemon one!!

Absolutely, and I already own two 3DS XLs. I will probably pre-order it from Best Buy considering it has limited quantities, but they don't have it available for pre-order yet. I'll probably sell one of my 3DS XLs just to help cover the cost, and because I don't need three 3DS systems, lol.

I already have a 3DS XL, and since my region (EU/AU) is getting the 2DS bundles, I don't see a point in getting it since the 2DS looks unappealing.

I don't have infinite money, and just bought my 3DS a few months ago. I'm not really interested in getting a new one anytime soon.

No, I don't plan on getting it. Although I generally like collecting stuff, I'm just not that into collectible systems, and I already have two 3DS systems (a 3DS and a 3DS XL). It's hard to justify a third system at this point when I already have two that work fine (I have a nick on my 3DS XL screen that bugs me a bit, but not enough to replace the system). I do plan on participating in the anniversary celebration by getting several of the VC release titles (leaning towards RBY for each of my systems so I can trade with myself, do challenges, etc., so possibly six games), and if they eventually release GSC on VC, I'll bite with a set of those for each system as well. If they do any other commemorative bundles here that don't involve getting a new system, I'll consider getting them, though.

I won't be getting the 2DS that are being released in this country, no. There are three very compelling reasons for this:

1. There are already four 3DS in this house (one of each model, excluding the 2DS) so a fifth is most definitely not required.
2. The 2DS is an unappealing brick.
3. Insufficient funds.

I'll be getting the retro sprite faceplates for my N3DS, though. Those things are glorious, and they'll look rather spiffing on my white model. Much nicer than the tacky Super Mystery Dungeon ones. I'll settle for just buying the games off the eShop onto my existing consoles and save myself a nice amount of money in the meantime.

As tempting as they are, I have no real purpose to buy one. I have a perfectly working 3DS that I've yet to have any issues with.

I like it but I was a big fan of the GBA look so that could be why. I just like the faceplate idea for NEW 3DS

Thing I like about the 2DS is, that you have no chances at all for the hinge to break at some point. Also likely much easier to open up without accidentally breaking things if you need to do repairs on it.

But, I wish its design was better. I was told the L/R buttons are the most comfortable thing in the world, but it looks so awkward.

I don't own a 2DS or 3DS at the moment, but with NX comming out around the corner or next year I don't know if picking up a 2/3DS would be worth it.
Unless someone can convince me other wise.

I might consider getting one because originally I planned to get the regular-size New 3DS, so I hope I can afford to buy one, get my hands on one and hope that it's cheaper, and more comfortable than its New XL counterpart.
