I don't get why people update the 3DS straight away, latest isn't always best. I usually wait and find out what the FW has to offer before updating.
I can give you a good reason.. If you buy an XL, and upgrade from a 3DS, then in order to use the "Transfer Utility" you need to upgrade.. So if you want to tranfer your data, you have to upgrade... I had no choice when I got mine, so I just have to put my faith in Acecard that they will bring out an update soon!

You do have a choice, you can wait. If you still have your 3DS, there is no need to rush over to the 3DS XL.
Most of these aren't something important, it's just being impatient.
Sorry.. Missed a vital point off my post.. If it was a trade in deal (Which mine was), then you had to give them old 3DS back.. They let you take it away for 24 hours to do the transfer, but you have to bring it back.. So you have no choice IF, you are doing a trade in.
I course you could choose not too.. But the deal was much better than any price you would get on Ebay, so unless I wanted to be stuck with a 3DS, I had no choice.. So its nothing about impatience!
