Look and feel;
The 3DS XL has a metallic lacquer style. This can be seen on photos but not the paint is 'touched', there is also the top plate of two shades of blue, in the middle it is bright and outwards, it becomes darker. Very chic!
Fingerprints are visible but not disturbing looks.
Unfortunately Nintendo has not worked very well in the processing. On hinges are for 'gaps', which means that one for top screen back and can procrastinate. As with Dsi. This is probably because that should not hinge break happen as then the DSLite. Bad this is not, because you already have to exert little force. Therefore, you can change controller without problems because 3D and volume.
The lower plate is slightly smaller than the device itself. This means that the two edges are left and right a little sharp. I was afraid that one playing the skin so irritating. But after 50 hours of play I can say that it is no problem at all. Anyway, the XL is very very good in the hand and allows you to play a long time comfortable.
3D effect
I am one of the few who constantly play the games in 3D. And the new movement Robust 3D is just great. Except in the Home menu where many double images arise. In but because playing calculates the new 3ds immediately the new position of head and eyes can be so consistently Action gamble. Even on the bus and car. Thanks to infrared sensor, it also works in the dark. Only at extremely rapid movements it happens that the sensor briefly takes longer.
C-Stick and Z keys;
The new 3DS has finally a second analog stick. But this is not portable and as small as a pin. It meant only for camera control. This works great. Even if you initially some time to get used to need. The new shoulder buttons are easily accessible as there are now only four keys the shoulder you can use 'only' with two fingers is also very unusual. I mean it's not just like the gamepad where you have a finger on each shoulder button. For rare actions these keys are quite useful but for continuous operation a bit annoying. As the best record on Metal Gear Solid is to say.
More Power;
Once you press the Home button in the game you are immediately in the Home menu. no hesitation. Miiverse opens only in a few seconds and the games load faster. in Super Smash Bros you can into Miiverse and Photos posts. The browser works much better, you can even watch 3D videos. As for games you can notice them anything yet. I think more power is also needed so that the head-tracking works properly.
Other;
Because of the new design power button, the stylus and the slot for the games are all moved down. I read that some have ausversehentlich rausgeholt with the ring finger the Games. I do not know how that is, itself, I have not done it. My finger still hurts from trying. ;)
The new 3DS is once again at no charge cable. I think it's good so that less power waste arises. Clear Nintendo makes it just about postage fees and cut costs but it is quite large material on the package and you have to stop the purchase of ten euros more likely if you have not got an cable. I still do not understand why people complain.
Conclusion
Also for anyone because the old 3DS / XL / 2ds worth the change. Who owns and want to gamble anyway no good games does nothing wrong. Only the small number of pixels interferes in the beginning. This is the bright and contrasty screen.

Supplement 18.03.2015
SD card and data transmissions;
Some complain that it is too complicated rauszunehmen the Micro SD. There is gerademal necessary to solve only two screws. So much technically gifted should be actually. Moreover, this is only one or two times needed because if one wants to exchange the battery or SD card. If you want to transfer the data on a PC can do this via WLAN. For the PC and the 3DS in the same WLAN must be. On the Internet there are a number of Nintendo and third instructions for it. Unfortunately, this is not yet possible with Mac's.
The data of the old 3DS I have not transferred to since new. In so I can not report.
3D in the dark;
I read more and more that some problems have since 3DS to play in the dark. Until recently I had never experienced this problem. Four days ago it was, however, so that the 3D had to readjust repeatedly. It was dark but solely had an overhead light turned on behind me. And here there is obviously a problem. When it is completely dark comes to the infrared lamps. However, when a light source is available to turn off this and the 3DS apparently thinks the camera would suffice to adjust. So if this problem throughout has just sure whether it after dark the sensor (next to the camera) light red. If not, it may be that the sensor is broken.
Difficulty moving because C stick down;
I also read that some problems have to move because C stick down. If you go to Circle Pad per configure in games because it is with me so that the C drive is quite restless if you move it down. In games because this is not a problem and is not noticeable.
Amiibo:
These things I have not tried yet, but I will certainly make up yet. Then I will report here shortly.
