Might it be worth mentioning that Fire Emblem: Awakening will also be available for digital purchase in the Nintendo eShop in North America on February 4, the day it's released? The game is not available for purchase on the Nintendo eShop in Japan.

I'm incredibly tempted by this bundle. There's a lot of games I want for the 3DS, a lot of games coming out that I'd like to get, and that is one pretty, pretty looking handheld.

Yeah, I'm really torn. I like the color and design of the system, but I don't know if I'm ok with a digital copy of the game. I may just get the game, and upgrade my 3DS to an XL at a later time. (probably closer to the Pokemon release)

Yeah, the digital copy is also a bit iffy to me but I was going to buy a 3DS for this game and it looks cool. Also, my birthday is coming up so I'll have some extra money.

So I'll probably at least see about getting this one, since I'll be buying a 3DS and the Fire Emblem game at some point anyway.

Wow, the only time you'll actually see a savings for a system bundle.

Is the only advantage of the 3DS XL the the bigger screen? Regardless I'll still be getting this bundle. I'll be the cool kid on the block with my ultra awesome Fire Emblem 3DS.

I've been holding off on a 3ds xl for a decent color...black, silver, gray, purple..anything! And when I saw this I thought my prayers had been answered..only to find out its a regular old 3ds. Ugh. The screen on that is so tiny, I don't want to play games on something half the size of a standard smartphone screen now =/ Come on Nintendo release a good XL package and take my money please!

I don't get why Nintendo isn't making the XL the standard now. The original 3DS is unplayable to me now that I'm used to the XL. The screen just looks so tiny.

Well, I've also heard that it's much more comfortable to use than the original, which is a downside (and part of the reason why I'm not immediately jumping at this).
