The white 3ds LL would have been even better if they colored the XYAB buttons like on the super famicom controller or the SNES controller.
BTW Gameboy and 3D Classic games like Kirby's Adventure look truly amazing on the LL. I could never go back to playing those on the 3DS.
However, I find the 3D effect better and deeper on the original 3DS. This surprised me quite a bit. On NSMB2, I can't really see any 3D AT ALL (it just makes the screen look a bit blurry), even with the slider set to max. I don't know WTF is up with that.

Glossy on the 3DS, matte on the LL. The LL ones feel a lot better. Can't comment on them turning yellow. I've never had a white handheld turn yellow, but I keep them stored in cases whenever not in use, and I never play them out in the sunshine.

Thumbs up on the use of Snow White Irish.
Is it depressing that I want to skip the XL and just wait for the white 3DS then? I doubt the glossy plastic will turn yellow. NoA, announce the white 3DS already. :'(

please go to bed already and stop being wrong
man ive only got 3 system transfers left so i wanna say this is it for me, but we both know if they do something sexy like another nice zelda one, or that hot fire emblem one japan got...yeah
exactly. and we both agree on my blood & spikes example, but - and i could be wrong here - most of the people who are on about the kiddy stereotype are often the same that define "mature" in such a way, and have problems with concepts like video games being sold as toys.
i do what i can monkey, but their numbers are sadly increasing~
man, you don't know how much I hate you right now for this!!
not really, I'm just jealous =C

Given the color options, I'd go Red-Blue-White-Silver. When the inevitable Pokemon-themed XL comes out in a year or so, I'll nab that and gift my Red XL to my daughter.

No OT until a week before the NA/EU release (release on Aug 19, so OT on Aug 12?)
And it is available now in Japan, and a few here have already digitally downloaded it.
Nice, I want this colour.
Gotcha, thanks. So there goes my dream for Nintendo to introduce account systems when they introduce digital downloads. Le sigh. Maybe when the wii u comes out I guess.
Yep, that's when I expect it.
Who knows? Maybe they'll surprise us in the August Nintendo Direct.

And this is why I don't like the 3DS XL as much as I hoped I would; it has nothing on the DSi and DSi XL. It just looks cheap in my opinion. Will be sticking with my original 3DS.
I got my white 3DS LL about an hour ago, with NSMB2 and a case. Here are a bunch of pics, showing it up against the 3DS and the white Vita.
So far I like it better than the original 3DS, but the dpad position still isn't too comfortable which is a bummer. The Vita blows it away in this regard (and in many others). It is much lighter than I thought it would be, and it feels very well balanced. There is a yellowish hue to the screens, as others have mentioned, but it doesn't matter much once you start playing a game.

FUCK IT I'M IMPORTING
Unless you're swapping guts (or sticking with Japanese games) you'll have to deal with that region locking crap.
I like the yellow tint on the screens.
Derp?
It launched in the EU/UK yesterday dude. Got mine as have other euro/uk gaffers. Dont see why we have to wait a month to make an OT just cause of the USA being behind everyone else.

So sweet.
Hint for photography of white stuff: In basic terms, your camera is programmed to give you settings to average out a scene so that it comes out grey in tone. This is to balance lights and darks. Since everything is white in your shots, your camera thinks it's just very bright, so it underexposes.
If you have any override functions (exposure compensation), the images would look a lot better pushed up +1 or +1.5. Basically, until the white looks white.

Thoughts: screw region lock, i want special edition, no to yellow hue, white is best.
