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.
It was actually a career, which earned me money, up until Windows 8 came out and I said fuck that. There’s a difference between an obsession and a career, one wastes time, the other makes money.
I was the data backup guy. Wonder why I got terabytes of all sorts of stuff?
