3DS Two new Limited Edition 3DSXL's coming to EU!

[Iwatasan]

Ha, I knew it was gonna be a Black Friday surprise. Just like the Zelda 3DS and DS Lite. So no preorders in the US, we're just gonna have to camp out in front of GameStop on Thanksgiving. But hey at least it's coming to the US!

if anything like the last black Zelda 3ds version.,..there will be left overs well past Christmas..but then again, you may have more Zelda fanboys and fangirls in your area..my area, it wasn't that much of a hot seller..i wish they brought over the luigi one also....lastly I wish we could of gotten a north American version of the upcoming Game collectors edition of the new 3ds Zelda game.

Me too, do you think they will release something like it here? Seems like maybe GAME might have been the ones who put a lot of the effort into that product, but maybe Nintendo would pursue a similar concept for a North American release if there was a retailer over here that was interested in selling something similar? Or at least something like a CE that comes with the game and the treasure box, since Nintendo is already producing a certain number of treasure boxes for Europe and Australia?

I think it's too late for that to happen for the US...I think all we will get is that Zelda 3ds that gamestop has for black Friday...Nintendo doesn't really care for special editions for the US market..and GAME is aggressive in pre orders and collectors edition to get foot traffic back at their stores and more sales..because of the bankruptcy issues last year or the year before..GAMESTOP..is doing relatively well..making money..so they have no reason to put in extra effort..during the holiday season..especially with next gen here and they will get a lot of people in the stores..

Got this pre-ordered

So Japan limited the release of the Zelda 3DS XL to 700 units. It sold out in 5 minutes. UK version is still available on Amazon.co.uk...

Luigi 2DS coming to North America by the end of the year.

I live in the us and am thinking of getting the uk version preordered of Zelda but I can't find anyplace that will ship to here and ebay costs way too much. I know it's supposed to come here on Black Friday but I don't want to deal with people trampling the doors. I don't leave my house on Black Friday. Lol.

You could always pay someone from the US on here to snag one for you while they're out and about that night/morning?

Also, aren't these systems region-locked, so you'd have to play only PAL games on your system (assuming it was for playing purposes and not shelf-space).

Yep, 3DS is region locked. If you want to play NTSC region games you gotta get an NTSC region 3DS. I'll be out on Black Friday getting one of these myself, so if you want, chiakri, I could certainly grab one for you too. But I highly doubt it will sell out at every store in your area before you have a chance, maybe the following Saturday or Sunday, to go out and pick one up before they sell out. As Twisted pointed out earlier, the last time there was a Black Friday Zelda edition handheld release, there were stores in his area that had it in stock for over a month. Then again, preorders for this one sold out in Japan in 5 minutes, lol.

Just a quick note/warning

The Japanese version of this has already sold out. EU is a bigger territory but the Japanese version sold out in less than a day
