Its Now the 28th of july and Nintendo have finally released thier larger screened 3DS Console called the 3DS XL (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Handheld-Console-3DS-XL/dp/B008DS948U/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1343419185&sr=1-1) in Europe or 3DS (http://amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005IOL8I6?ie=UTF8&tag=dcemu-21&link_code=em1&camp=2502&creative=11114&creativeASIN=B005IOL8I6&adid=4d7ac4a0-aae2-456c-951b-0ea949dfe0a9) LL in Japan. Our friends in the USA will have to wait till Mid August.
The 3DS XL features a 4.88 inch stereoscopic 3D top screen, which is quite a bit bigger than the 3DS's 3.53 inch screen. The bottom screen measures 4.18inch bottom screen, compared to 3.02 inches on the 3DS. Battery life will be anything from 3 and a half hours to 6 and a half hours. Also you now have a 4GB Memory Card instead of the 2GB card bundled with the 3DS:
The release colours are Blue/Black, Red/Black and Silver/Black, Nintendo also demoed a transparent 3DS XL (http://3ds.dcemu.co.uk/nintendo-s-transparent-3ds-xl-poses-for-the-camera-makes-you-wish-you-had-one-477806.html) :
