Which 3ds to get?
I want to get a 3DS so I can finally play some of that glorious Mario, Pokemon and Professor Layton that has left me ever since the 3DS came along and made the DS obsolete.
I can get a pre-owned 3DS for $108 from EB Games which seems like a bargain, but I've heard great things about the New 3DS and New 3DS XL. Is it worth the extra $100 or so to get a New 3DS or New 3DS XL?
If you have any of these 4 consoles, I would love to know your thoughts

How did you know I'm Australian? o.o
Get the new 3ds XL. I made the switch from 3ds -> N3ds XL and I love everything about it. It's so much more comfortable to hold (my main problem with the tiny 3ds) and the larger screens are a lot easier on the eyes. Same thing with the improved 3D function on the N3ds XL if that floats your boat, I usually cant play with it on for too long without getting a headache, but whenever cool cutscenes are playing I can actually SEE them in 3D instead of playing with the orientation of the 3ds until I find the perfect distance and angle to watch them in (cough cough old 3ds)

I feel like N3DS will make the old one obsolete with its own exclusives. One day...
Regular 3ds or 3ds XL is fine. The new 3DS only has ONE exclusive game so far which is Xenoblade Chronicles 3D. If you live in America you can only purchase the "New 3DS XL"...meaning that you cant change the face plates like the "New 3ds". Still the "New 3DS XL" Has a couple of improvements that make it worth getting in the long run like better load times on Super Smash Brothers 3DS and slightly improved graphics for Monster Hunter 4 ultimate (Main poor textures and adjustments to lighting)
None of the above, get a 2DS
I would get the New 3DS because of the changeable cover plates, but its really up to you. But get the newer versions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wlUnR8DfDU here's a video I found comparing the new 3DS and the new XL
I would personally get the new 3DS XL, probably a limited edition one as well since they look nicer and usually comes with a game. Also, I personally don't like to deal with pre-owned things, especially when it comes to electronics.
