My opinion will relate only to the look, I know nothing about this 3DS XL, I bought it for my doll which, without being addicted to video games, wanted to emulate his brother. And inevitably, this color could only please him. Caution, however, spent 8 years, one can find that it's a little gadget, a little plastic, compared to other 3DS XL that mix black to another color for a more "mature". In short, choose to do that if we want real girly and emo!
