I bought a 3DS XL sometimes last year. It was under $200.

After seeing the surge in demand, I feel lucky that I bought it when I did. I also decided to take it out and play some animal crossing new leaf for the first time and I’m really enjoying it.

I sometimes wonder if I should have bought the “new” variant back then, but they were much more expensive and I’m still not sure if the performance improvements would have been worth it.

I’m basically just using not for ds and 3ds games, so, I’m guessing the power difference would not really matter.

2DS had one single screen, that motherfucker was a goddamn joke!

You think I'm shitting you, go ahead and disassemble one, it only had one single screen!

Does that really matter, though? It was designed to be cheap and rugged for kids. It still functioned as two screens.

Both fit in the toilet equally well.

You think I enjoyed wasting my time attempting to fix that shit?

Hey, at least it wasn’t infested with roaches.

You act like it wasn't..

Hey, at least I was paid by the hour to waste my time attempting to fix it. Company dime, company time, and customer paid for the replacement screen even.

Sucks that I wasn't successful, but damn, when the whole thing is literally rusted out, even the boss should have realized it was a hopeless cause. 🤷
