This is true, but it looks to be more comfortable and the battery life is improved...
Seeing as I probably wouldn't actually tote it around in my pocket that often, I might go for the XL. But yeah, the lower price would be nice... (rhymez w00t!)
D: following the official nintendo magazine (UK) on twitter, I couldn't see the end of their tweets Also I'd say go for the XL definitely they fixed quite a few things.
There aren't enough good 3DS games yet sooo I'm still waiting for more!
