First off, 3DS or 3DS XL. Do any of you have the XL? Do the games look stretched or anything?
I have been hearing mixed reviews about this one, some saying it's noticeable while others saying it's not, unfortunately I'm someone who would have to get his hands on one first to be able to say if the stretched pixels are a bother. Other then that, I've heard the XL is better than the original. Better 3D, longer battery life, such and such. Apparently it doesn't come with a charging cradle like the original, however I don't think it's a necessity anyway, I've never used it and don't think it has any advantages (you can still buy an XL version on Nintendo's website too). The system still comes with a normal charger though (only in North America apparently).
The possibility of trading my 3DS for an XL lingers, but that pixel stretch is the one thing preventing me from doing so. Nintendo needs to send out some demo units for the XL.
