The lights are on
Nintendo has announced the availability of limited edition Pokémon X and Y themed 3DS XL hardware. If you want one of these red or blue handhelds, you'd best move quickly.
The red or blue consoles feature the likenesses of legendary Pokémon Xerneas and Yveltal. Pokémon X and Y will be released on October 12, 2013 (complete with the original three starters: Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle).
Unlike previous special edition consoles, these two are not bundled with the game. You'll be waiting to pick those up for another couple of weeks, just like everyone else. The limited edition Pokémon X and Y 3DS XL systems will run you $199.99. For more on Pokémon X and Y, check out our preview from PAX 2013.
Our TakeThese are sure to become collector's items. If you've been waiting to pick up a 3DS XL (one of my favorite systems), now isn't a bad time. Even if you have no interest in Pokémon, these limited edition handhelds aren't a bad investment.
I could really use a new 3ds and that blue one looks awesome and all, but I'm going to have to miss this one V.V
I'm still holding out hope that the charizard 3ds will make a western appearence. missed my chance on the pikachu.
Man, those look hecka nice. I love Pokemon so much. I can't wait for October 12th!
I have SOOO many friends who would want one of those.
If I didn't already have a 3DS XL, I would definitely want to pick this up.
Pretty.
onwards to gamestop!
Why were these advertised as bundles if freakin' nothings coming with 'em?
Also, they're kinda ugly, imo. The Black Monster Hunter 3DSXL exclusive to Japan (for now, I hope) is much better looking.
Still...I don't have a 3DS and I do want one, specifically for X and Y so...I'm off to the bank.
I prefer the Japanese versions, but these are still beautiful. I'd buy one as a backup if I wasn't strapped for cash right now.
Whatever, I'll have to stick with my Pikachu 3DS XL. I would sell my soul for an American release of the Charizard one, though.
Alredy ordened and waiting for arival
If I had the cash, I'd pick it up right away. sadly, that isn't the case. I'm hoping there's a limited edition XL when Zelda releases. Maybe I'll be able to buy one then.
If I didn't have a regular 3DS already, I would most definitely buy this. Kinda strange it doesn't come with the game though. Regardless, I cannot wait for Pokemon X.
I gots mine and boy do I feel special, but in all seriousness it is really cool.
