so i have a DSI XL and was wondering if its worth getting 3ds on launch date

i wouldnt say on launch date, unless u got 250$ to spend

and keep in mind that the 3ds is a new system, not an upgrade to the ds

so if u plan on buying future nintendo handheld game, u will have to buy a 3ds

someone told me you get a free game if preorder that true?

ask the game store ur preordering it from..

I would say no to getting it on launch date unless you cannot wait to buy the games for it or have extra cash to spend as Doyek has mentioned.
