Thats completely false lol...they turned around and have the 2ds xl with the usual push in slide out slot for the sd card. So if that was the case the 2ds xl would be the same way....and what about the original 2ds? That's the most kid friendly model......and it is like the 2ds xl as well......so ur wrong

[@iSupermanCKi]

@@packers12to80At the time the New 3DS came out, it was the first system to use the Micro SD card format. The fact that Nintendo made the SD card more accessible in later models doesn't mean it wasn't a concern when the New 3DS XL came out. It's possible for companies to change their design when customers complain. I stand by my comment.

@@bluediamondben the OLED model has poor battery and the OLED panel ends up getting black dots (tho you can only see them when the screen is fully black) because they are early generation OLED panels. the battery is about 3 hours and the charger cable is proprietary. If u get the slim model you get micro USB cable for charging, a good quality but LCD screen and plastic materials are all over the place. It has 1GB of internal battery and the battery lasts way longer than the OG model. About 6 hours with middle backlight. So, if you like build material quality (not 100% plastic) and true colors even though they are early OLED panels, you got the first model. But if you are interested in longevity, no propietary cables, longer battery and more accessory compatibility then go ahead for the slim model.

I bought one of these a year or so back. Mine came with a 3rd party charger, but the console itself was in nearly new condition. Nothing inside looked replaced. Based on what the person at Gamestop told me when I bought it, I think they call them all refurbished because they need to be reset and cleared of any personal data or photos. So as long as its a used unit taken into the store and been sent out to be reset ,cleaned out and repacked, then they call it a refurb.

[@3DJapan]

These are actually kind of helpful because my laptop hard drive died and the thing is only just over a year old (1 year warranty of course). HP wanted to charge me $400-600 to fix it.

I actually bought a N3DS from gamestop a year or so ago. It was really cheap, and it even came with an AC adapter. I think they might have unintentionally entered it as a OG 3ds, because the packaging and receipt made it out to be an old model. Would have explained the low price too

[@StormsparkPegasus]

The first thing you should always do with these is put a screen protector on the touch screen. The top screen doesn't need one as badly since you aren't going to touch it. The material the resistive touch screens are made of scratches VERY easily. I still think the DS Zelda games were designed to scratch the screen.

Still prefer the New 3DS without XL, because the bigger Screen does not actually "show you more" it's just stretched. But also because i like the idea to change the Coverplates make your own "limited edition", at least better as to buy a new Handheld just because it looks different from the outside (and the most Coverplates are cheap as heck today, even if you want to use them only to change a scratched one). Anf if it comes to this, the Price for one is actually cheaper. You can get one on ebay in good condition for 70-80€ (sometimes with 1 or 2 Games)

I have a 3DS XL but it’s really starting to fall apart. Like one of the triggers are stuck (it still works though) and there’s a crack in the plastic and there’s a lot of scratches and scuffs on the outside

Interesting find... I'm glad a refurbished system can finally be recommended. The one thing that would bother me would be the chipped paint... If I was to get a system like that I'd 100% get an as close to the color as possible Sharpie and fix it... yeah... a bit of OCD... sue me... lol Great video @Spawn Wave!

I bought the limited edition Hyrule edition from GameStop, did a shell swap with my red N3DSXL for a Famicom feel. The system came in perfect condition!

I think the reason the new 3ds xl sd card slot is inside the console is probably because the new 3ds has the ability to wirelessly send data to and from a windows 7 or higher pc.

Yep, I stripped my screws while trying to fix mine the outside case. And now the bottom screen does not work.

I also bought a refurbished red and black ds lite that came in amazing condition, along with some gba Pokémon and Zelda games that were flawless. Perfect labels and well taken care of (most importantly, legitimate games, not reproduction). Very happy with GameStop!

I sold someone a New3ds XL in 2014, they got mad at me the day after Christmas because I didn't know it didn't come with a charger.

I have the new 3ds xl super Nintendo edition for a little more than 1 year and I'm actually impressed by it! Coming from a DSi XL, the lack of support from Nintendo for the upgraded hardware is present as well but I'm glad the extra horsepower isn't wasted just like the DSi. The binding of Isaac runs quite well on it and I enjoy all the great games the console has to provide. Overall it is a great successor of the DS family

Thanks for disassemble video!

[@MEGAMAND1]

What about the audio Jack? Could it be replaced as easily, or do you need to resolder?

[@cheappyv5156]

How in the WORLD are the 3DS's soooo freaking expensive still??? At this point, they should be no more than $50 a pop, NEW! The hardware is ANCIENT.
