AngryCaterpillar posted:What's the main reason people are getting the Deluxe or Premium model? Nintendo Land or download discounts? I highly doubt I would ever have paid $60 for Nintendo Land alone, but for ten bucks cheaper plus more hard drive space, why the hell not? Color isn't an issue.

I actively dislike all white pieces of electronics, especially when it comes to stuff I'll be touching a lot. Not really a big fan of black either, but it won't get dirty nearly as easily.

Neddy Seagoon posted:The specs are in the OP. Essentially, it's a bigger hard drive (32GB instead of 8), A charging stand for the game pad, Nintendo Land tossed in, and you get a membership discount of 10% off of ALL eShop purchases. I know, I wrote it  I wanted to know the MAIN reason people wanted the black one. Looks like it varies. Edit: vvv  vvv

I'm tired of either black or white for everything. The 3DS models come in many colors, and that's great, but I wish someone would bring back 70s style wood paneling again.

AngryCaterpillar posted:What's the main reason people are getting the Deluxe or Premium model? Nintendo Land or download discounts? The storage and discounts are a good reason (Especially if a lot of games will get digital eShop releases), but I'm actually getting it for Nintendo Land. That and I prefer black systems.

I'm getting the deluxe solely because it's black. If nintendo land is multiplayer only mini-games I don't think i'll have anyone to play it with so i'll probably try to throw it on SA mart for 30 bucks or whatever. The discount on digital purchases is nice as well. The lack of a black 3DS XL is the only reason I don't own one. I think it's silly to have a color preference dictate my decisions this much but I can't help it nor can I explain it. Black just looks nicer to me.

I'm holding off on getting a 3DSXL (I own a 3DS, but I like the bigger screen, battery, etc) until a decent special edition comes out. I always miss out on the fancy editions of consoles, so for once I'm going to wait and get one.

Nintendo appears to be finalizing dlc details with Activision and Blops today. In other news Michael Ancel detailed gamepad lag, it is exactly 1/60 of a second, or one frame, which is astounding and probably better than the lag from your console to the tv. There is a hilarious ubergizmo blog about it "warning" hardcore gamers of another reason to "eschew" the Wiiu and talking about "media spin" that would be perfect for gamers.txt

I wonder if the consoles will use Nintendium again and be virtually indestructible.

I've said it in a previous thread, but man I can't wait for gamepad blutooth drivers to be made for PCs. Pairing the gamepad to the PC is going to be all sorts of awesome.

I'm surprised they got Bluetooth lag that low. I know from experience that audio lag is pretty bad. Watching TV through Bluetooth wireless is impossible, unless you are able to set a video delay.

Revol posted:Yeesh, this was deserving of a custom title? Odd, I would have thought your post would be more misunderstood by an angry person as a: "LOOK NINTENDO IS GOING TO FAIL EVEN IF IT SOLD OUT BECAUSE THEY MADE TOO FEW ON PURPOOOOOOSE" than a "pls dont hurt ntndo" thing. -- Someone asked about why people would want the black model... for me it would be the discount and Nintendo Land. I had a pretty good time playing Wii Sports with friends at a few parties and with the family so I figure I could get some fun out of that. Plus the extra memory space would be nice (though I plan to get a big hard drive for it anyway, so this isn't a big plus). I'll probably buy a ton of digital stuff though so the discount on that will be nice. At the same time I'm low on cash right now, and want to save up more before getting another console. I'll probably buy it when Monster Hunter comes out.

Nintendo land at a discount + the 10% back and charging station is all a good deal to me. Nintendo land is going to be a fantastic party game at the very least.
