    Blue one is a refurb

      Is it? I can't see that on the page anywhere… But it is $10 cheaper than the white

      Blue one on their eBay store is $128 and a refurb. Suspect you must have seen that.

      I don't think $80 has ever been the everyday price for the 2DS XL.

      New 2DS and 2DS are completely different beasts. I upgraded from one to the other.

    Not available for delivery?
    EDIT - the black/blue color is not available for delivery.

    • Madrical on 29/05/2020 - 13:50

      Well that's disappointing, I was going to order one!

      Went to click & collect and the nearest store with stock is 1,600km away from me. Nice.

      But much worse gameplay and micro-transactions.

    These things are so ridiculously good, can't pass up this opportunity. They are great as kids presents because they're a hell of a lot more sturdy than the switch is.

    Plus you can hack these incredibly easily and they are beastly emulation machines. I just did one for my nephew who's 9. Apart from all the 3DS games, it can do DS games, SNES, NES, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Sega Master System, Mega Drive, Turbografx-16 and CDPS1, plus you can use retroarch for many other systems… Custom themes, injections, etc. The homebrew scene is ridiculous.

    Perfect for younger kids too because you just set them up and don't give them internet access so you don't have to worry about anything bad online for the little tikes.

    • Scrobo on 29/05/2020 - 14:44

      My kids play the older Animal Crossing games on one of these while the Switch is in use :)

      Can someone PM me about getting emulators on there though? They'd love to play some Mega Drive titles.

    • DreadPirateRoberts on 29/05/2020 - 15:57

      These are great little homebrew machines. The 3DS guide linked below is honestly the easiest hacking guide for any machine I've done. Took me a little bit less than an afternoon for everything and it was all working beautifully

      • g12345567 on 29/05/2020 - 16:24

        Same easy to hack. Have one and it great. These also make great portable console, handheld, arcade and classic computer systems using emulatiors. Especially latest the New XL models with the fastest 804 MHz processor.

      • dajackal on 02/07/2020 - 16:30

        I successfully hacked my 2DS XL using https://3ds.hacks.guide/ but couldn't figure out how to install DS games on there. Any ideas?

    • AustriaBargain on 29/05/2020 - 21:37

      Won't they get down to $100?

    Tempting, but hard to cough up given all the $99 sales late last year.
    Doubt there's a lot of stock, but would be a great little machine when hacked.

    • Mucchan on 29/05/2020 - 13:59

      You'd be hard pressed to find one for $99 now given a lot of places have run out of stock.

      • SpeedRunnerLink on 29/05/2020 - 14:26

        even on the used market people sell for $100-120

  • Charlie Sierra on 29/05/2020 - 14:00

    One of these with a soft-mod has been one of the best purchases I've ever made.

  • tonyamazing on 29/05/2020 - 14:00
    +3

    So tempting. I already have a original 3DS and my wife has a New Nintendo 3DS XL. It would be nice to upgrade from my OG unit, but I never use them…

  • Buyingcrap on 29/05/2020 - 15:15

    Got a refurb New 3DS XL in mint condition from eb games for $150. It's just as good as everyone says. Soft modded it's so good. Needs a good grip case if you have big hands though because my thumbs would cramp with the joystick so close to the edge.

    I've kinda given up on the switch. Games are way overpriced and there's really only a handful that I don't have on wii u (also epic for softmodding) or can get on the Pc. The handful of games that I am referring to are also the ones that play well on the switch emulator Yuzu so it really is kind of redundant.

  • Grover on 29/05/2020 - 15:22

    Oh, and I have it on good authority that EB is resuming trades as of Monday (in Victoria at least)

  • Pandaroo on 29/05/2020 - 15:31

    I was planing on getting a used (but like new) N3DS for young kid due to it's smaller size (currently have a N3DSXL for myself).
    Would anyone recommend this instead? Other than it being brand new it's get less features overall right?
    Thanks

    • lbft on 29/05/2020 - 15:37

      The only difference is the lack of 3D. Otherwise the New 2DS XL has the same features as the New 3DS XL.

      • Pandaroo on 29/05/2020 - 15:39

        Thanks, thought so, wasn't sure if it was significantly lighter or anything. I'll skip this and find a nice N3DS instead, daughter struggles with the size of the XL.

      • SpeedRunnerLink on 29/05/2020 - 20:36
        +8

        its actually not the same.

        I have both and there is obvious differences.

        Here is what I have noticed.

        • Speakers on the New 3DS XL is better as it sits on the top panel facing you where as the 2DS XL sits on teh bottom and doesnt sound as good.
        • 2DS xl is much lighter to hold however it feels much cheaper than the new 3DS XL but doesnt mean its bad quality.
        • 2DS micro SD card is easier to access at the front with a flap covering it where as the new 3DS XL you have to take off the back panel to access.
        • 2DS XL top panel replacement is way more harder than the new 3DS XL should you need to replace it.
        • the board replacement is much more easier on the new 3DS XL compared to the 2DS X as the board is more modular.
        • Volume sliders are in different location for both units.
        • stylus is shorter for the 2DS XL compared to the new 3DS XL.
        • 2DS XL hinge feels more flappy than the new 3DS XL

        In saying that the 2DS XL is much more easier to hold for longer periods of time but I feel the 3DS XL feels much solid quality.

    • Charlie Sierra on 29/05/2020 - 15:45

      Probably wouldn't get much of a discount for pre-owned/refurbed compared to this, I'd say go with this. Featurewise, it's probably the second best DS after the New 3DS, which you don't miss.

      • Pandaroo on 29/05/2020 - 16:09

        The form-factor/weight is my main concern given it's for a 3-4yo and my N3DSXL is too big/heavy. I should have highlighted that.
        I think I'll keep looking for a decent New 3DS instead of this.

        • Agret on 29/05/2020 - 21:29

          SpeedRunnerLink said above that the 2DS is much lighter than the 3DS so it's probably a better option for a 3-4yo

          • SpeedRunnerLink on 29/05/2020 - 21:36

            @Agret: I dont disagree with that but my main point was that the 2DS XL is a fair bit different to the new 3DS XL

    • Stoz on 29/05/2020 - 16:02
      +1

      I'd go for the New 2DS XL

      The New 2DS XL is significantly lighter than the New 3DS XL (260g vs 329g) and basically the same weight as the New 3DS (252g)

      The 3D feature isn't required, and Nintendo don't recommend using the 3D mode with children 6 and under

      This also comes with Mario Kart 7 pre-installed

      • Pandaroo on 29/05/2020 - 16:10

        Thanks this was the reply as I was after! Hard to quickly research on the fly while at work.

  • JediJan on 29/05/2020 - 15:44

      Man that's such a good deal. I'm not going to say growing up we were poor. But we were struggling for sure. I never got a games console til I was well into my teens, while all my peers had Super Nintendo's and Mega Drives, they were still $199 or more back in the 90's.

      It's really good that kids can get a quality system like the 2DS for so cheap.

      • BakerBen91 on 29/05/2020 - 16:37

        I was exactly the same. I always wanted a Nintendo 64/gameboy console when I was a child. Seeing the 2DS makes me want to relive my youth through Mario, Pokemon and Zelda games even though I don't have the attachment to Nintendo. I too noticed how cheap technologies is these days.

    • Phlume on 29/05/2020 - 16:07

      Beside the size difference, how would the 2DS be different from the 2DS XL?
