I wonder if trading in a regular 3DS XL will make the price worth it.

They say a 3DS XL trade in is worth $100 towards the New 3DS. Do we know what the prices are going to be yet?

Also I have a poo poo ton of downloadable games, to the point where they can't all be installed on the SD card at once. How will I be able to transfer everything to a New 3DS being that downloads don't carry over?

Better 3d (unclear what this means), an extra analog nub (they didn't go for a full sized control stick), extra shoulder buttons, better hardware (which will at least have a port of Xenoblade). It's already out in Australia I believe.

The better 3D is basically that it won't screw up the effect if you're not holding it perfectly right like with the old models. Stuff loads faster because of the new cpu, as well.

people who own the n3ds in australia say the new 3ds has a face tracking mechanism in the front camera that will somehow angle the direction that the 3d effect displays in on the top screen, to eliminate that weird double vision effect you get when you don't hold the old 3ds absolutely perfect. i'm not sure how it works, exactly, but the result is very noticeable.
