Here are the specifications;

90% larger screens (124mm x 106mm) (4.88 inches x 4.18 inches)
When closed the device measures 134x74x21mm
Initial colour availability is either a silver/black, red/black or blue/black casing
Longer battery life; 3D games 6 hours and 2D games up to 10 hours
4GB SD card bundled for e-shop downloads
Weighs 336g ( the original 3DS handheld is 235g)
No AC adaptor included

Curious how they expect you to charge it then as that would make it unusable out of the box

They are going to turn the business around by selling ac chargers...you heard it here first my friends!

Put a USB cable in the box, and expect folks to use an existing USB charger or plug it into a PC/laptop?

Can't help that this is starting to look a little desperate. I had a DSi XL myself - great machine, but I later sold it when I realised that I was doing more gaming on smartphone and tablet - especially the latter.

Not that keen on the 3D gimmick either...

Probably has a low discharge battery so charged and usable out of the box

Hahaha.
I'll probably get it, but hopefully for less than £150

We've had every generation of the Nintendo DS in our house. Mariokart 7 is just too fun while having a poo. I cant wait for the man-size version!
