Nintendo is now selling refurbished Nintendo 3DS XL consoles via its online store. The refurbished system can be purchased for a limited introductory price of $169.99 – the same price as a brand-new standard Nintendo 3DS. The refurbished console’s regular price is $179.99. Both the red/black and blue/black 3DS XL are offered at Nintendo’s online store, and each comes with an AC adapter, stylus and 4GB SD card. Refurbished Nintendo products are fully functional and come with a one-year warranty.

they been selling refurbished 3ds xl for 3 months now on there site. dude your super late with this news you need to retire alba!
This is smarttttt
*giggles*
alotta 3ds’s must be breaking for them to start refurbishing them with the low quality lcd and all
Sega is interested in buying Atlus?
look at 1:00. That takes alot of talent. Do you think she’s a wizard?
Thats still a good bit of money…
People spend even more money to have sex with me.
Only a ten dollar difference? That’s not much of a bargain.
There’s that one kid/dude that needed 10 more bucks and now it’s their big break lol
Alba, New 3DS XLs cost $200, not $179.99.
I think that Alba means the regular price for a refurbished 3DS XL, but it is currently $170 instead
How would that be the regular price if they just now started selling them?
I’d rather buy a new one…
I don’t want another one’s virus infected consoles…
I agree. It doesn’t have the same satisfaction as buying a brand new one (or any game/console)…
Indeed…
The feeling of something that no one has ever touched before with their bare hands is the best…
That feeling is nonexistent Nintendo products are manufactured.
Question off topic…is anyone else having trouble, if you got one, trying to reply and end up at the sign in screen?
on twitter*
Ya want some voodoo?
never mind, fixed.
Thank da spirits
…ooh a shaman..
Just don’t underestimate him! He can do things.
….Shamans are gods to me…
Shamans are amazing when it come to healing. They heal with natural ingredients. Too bad doctors doesn’t give shaman’s medicines now a day. They are all manmade.
Lol all you Mumbo Jumbos piss me off. ALALALALALALALALALALAALALALALALALALALALALA Mumbo Jumbo magic heal ALALALALALALALAALALALALALALALA. Bananas are for monkeys, keep that in mind Gravy.
Damn it. Then I should sell mines and go for this refurbished one. XP
Dead pixels on my 3DS XL are so annoying =/
Is the overall screen quality worse than a normal 3DS on the 3DS XL?…
not really, they’re just awfully built compared to the regular 3DS lol
How do you mean?…
Never had problems with either of my 3DSs.
Rip off detectet!!!
I wouldn’t get a “refurbished” 3DS because Nintendo is cashing in twice on a single device that has almost the same price as a new one.
They just wipe the storage, do firmware updates, polish it and might replace loose buttons.
I can do the same thing by purchasing a used and a broken 3DS (on ebay) and I’d even save money.
Warranty is not a big deal because Nintendo is accommodating when it comes to repair/replace.
By the way, why dafuq aren’t they including an AC adapter in the EU box. Material and production cost is just some €-Cents. It’s some plastic, rubber, copper and metal

I hate this comment system so much!!!
Pasting a pre written text because I’m on my phone. Makes the last paragraph invisible, makes me paste that again, posted comment has two identical paragraphs: \(>^<)/
I don’t think people understand what is “refurbished” mean in generally. Gamestop got the term wrong. What they are selling is “used” and it is not “refurbished”. Hopefully Nintendo using this term in a correct way.
What “refurbished” mean is that if the device is broken and it is returned to the supplier for repair. They will replace the parts but not only that but they also test the device. In other word, the “refurbished” devices may have longer life span due to the fact it is actually tested when the new devices do not get tested.
This is one of the main reason why most customers prefer “refurbished” devices than new devices because they know it will work very well and also it is cheaper.
And you are telling this to ME because of….. ?
Refurbished or not, they are still pre owned. Gamestop is just taking the systems and doubles the price they paid the former owner.
I just telling everybody who read my post. But again you are right that I should post it rather than replying to you.
Companies usually buy refurbished devices for business since they need it and it last longer due to testing and part replacement. Do the supplier make money? Somewhat. There is a chance they actually lose money or gain money.
For example you got a Nintendo 3DS broken and you decide to send it in to Nintendo. They will replaced it for free due to warranty and they will send you a new Nintendo 3DS out of their stock. Then Nintendo didn’t trash or salvage the broken Nintendo 3Ds. Instead they repaired it so they can try to get a return money on it.
What I saying is that they be losing money if that all they do is replacing everybody Nintendo 3DS and they throwing them out. It is a part of business strategy that almost every companies use.
I think warranty from game stores or electronic stores are a joke. I rather sent them myself to the original supplier. Seriously who buy warranty for digital copies?
THATS VERY TRUE I MIGHT GET ONE THEN
They have been selling refurbished 3DS’s for ages now !
I have a original 3DS, got it at launch & have not had any problems at all with it, no dead pixels or anything, i have heard that the XL is not as well built as the original, but the key issue for me being a handheld is the size, the 3DS fits in pockets but the XL doesn’t, the XL is just too big imo.

HEY! How did my icon change?
Off topic: One day only one day left until Pikmin 3. Though my ass has to wait till the 7th since dumb Amazon can’t ship it earlier like they did AC3 and Zombie U. That sucks. Oh and I rather by my 3DS XL new. I’m thank God that Ihave never bought aanything used. I just hope he allows me to continue that.
U.S Club Nintendo now has a Pikmin Tote Bag for 400 coins.
Personally, I never trust “refurbished” consoles. They never seem to work. Still, if you’re up for the risk, then go for it! I always get my consoles in black (Except the Wii so that it really stands out)
smartest thing they’ve done in a while.
What are the refurbished ones?
What makes them better or worse, thanks
There are ones that have been fixed for problems so essentially cleaned up used ones.
