At first I was also very pleased with the console. Great image quality, even though the resolution has not been increased, beautiful design and a high-quality finish, what more could you want?
Yesterday I was, however, abruptly bitterly disappointed.
I took a good piece with the gamescom in Cologne, had to be understood in a protective bag in my backpack.
When I wanted to clean it at the end of the day, fell by point-like scratches on the top of the screen that were exactly where the edges of the lower screen are. The problem with the scratches, there was already the predecessor, so Nintendo has left a gap between the two screens when the folded XL, so that they do not meet each other and lower the top scratched.
Apparently, but that has no effect, because according to Google I'm not the only one who has scratches on the top screen while XL. I'm really dealt well with the XL, I carefully opened and closed, always packed him in a protective bag and wedged no dirt. At me it is definitely not. My DS Lite is 5 years old and the screens look like new because I treat my device always with care.
I am very disappointed by Nintendo. Testing the not decently their devices? Especially since, as I said, the problem already at small 3DS was the case.
I strongly recommend all people who have an XL or want to set a to apply a protective film on the top of the screen or to put a soft cloth when closing in between, so that the edges of the lower screen does not cause these scratches.
