    Hah! Good things come to those who wait. Amazon Japan randomly put up a new batch of pre-orders and I managed to get mine in (they're gone now, of course).

    And @Gries He, to answer your question from a while back... The New 2DS XL has the same 4.88" screen as the other XL models. It might even be clearer, since my other 2DSes also give a nicer image than my original 3DS due to the lack of 3D functionality.

    Of course, it's a "New" model, so it comes with Amiibo support, the additional analog nub, and the higher specs which allow for Xenoblade to run. At only 260 grams it's also significantly ligher than the 3DS XL (336g) and New 3DS XL (329g), and the new design makes it smaller and more compact with very little bezel.

    If you think you'll still get some use out of it the coming years, it's actually a really good upgrade. Damn shame about the region-lockout, though... I'm gonna have to look in to what the 3DS piracy scene is like these days, because it's be a shame to get such a nice system and not being able to use it very much. I might just have to order a European system so I can transplant the motherboard. Then I can sell off the Japan/Europe-exclusive orange-white 2DS to an American, and the circle continues.

    For fuck's sake... Just because I missed the announcement this morning, I already lost my chance to get one of these at a decent price.

    Well, whatever. I'm sure I'll have gotten over it tomorrow. Guess I'll just add it to the long list of limited edition handheld systems I wish I had but never will, as I refuse to pay money to scalpers.

      Editing … The most annoying part is that I totally read a post about the limited edition Dragon Quest PS4 that I have no interest in, and right under that was a post about this. Had I just scrolled down a bit more, I could've still gotten my Amazon Japan pre-order in. But... it's fine, it's fine. I'll live. Heck, I probably wouldn't have actually bought it anyway, right?

      Editing … Will the screen of the 2DS xl be better than the one of my old 3DS xl? How much lighter will this handheld be compared to the one I already own?
