3DS XL: Is it worth it?

*Donatello19* · 03-28-2013, 11:45 AM

I have had the 3DS for more than a year now, but the 3DS XL has come out since then, and it is much larger. The screen is about 90% bigger than the normal 3DS, and the battery life is longer. I'm happy with my 3DS, it's a great system, but I'd really like to get the XL. I paid $169.99 for my 3DS, and the 3DS XL is $199.99. Now my question is, is the XL worth it, or no because I already have the normal system? I asked my GameStop how much I'd get if I traded it in (I know, stupid idea but it was worth a shot) and they told me I'd get 60 dollars THE MOST, which in my opinion is ridiculous. So, please vote on the poll to tell me what you think is the best option for me.
