Nintendo 3DS XL Handheld System - Black/Blue (Renewed) [Nintendo DS]

I have ordered a Refurbished - Excellent: Nintendo New Galaxy 3DS XL. Through Amazon's shipping, I received this beautiful New Galaxy 3ds xl early! The system had everything with it to get started as I was provided with a charger with the system listing I had chosen through CaveGamers, and it did have the stylus. I've thoroughly inspected the New 3ds xl exterior and interior. The exterior barely any cosmetic wear whatsoever! There's not much that could've been concerning. There was maybe one or two surface level scratches on the top and bottom of the case, but you have to go out of your way to notice or feel them. No chips in the paint and I like how the Galaxy shines! As for the inside of the system, it's also in excellent condition. I tried out all of the buttons and they felt snappy as they should. There wasn't any damage or scratches on the screens or other cosmetic damage that I was able to tell. All that I needed to do was let the system charge as it was dead on arrival. I ordered a replacement battery as I know these systems and their batteries are starting to reach their end cycle. The battery currently in the system looked fine but was barely bloating so I'm upgrading with a new regardless. Either way, the new 3ds xl turned on after getting the battery to full. I was welcomed to the setup screen. The screens were working as intended too, with no dead pixels and the 3D with its tracking is reliable. Overall, the system looked like it was barely used! While I used to have the old 3DS in Red as a kid, this feels so far as a great upgrade! I am impressed with what I received and feel this is what I would've expected. I'm going to relive my childhood!

Severely overpriced for the quality that you get. I been though 3 replacements with this company and every single one had issues. 1st system had debris stuck in the screen so I always had something in the way of viewing 2nd system the hinges completely went out on me a few weeks after replacing the 1st And last the one I have now the paint is starting to warp and chip On top of everything the 3D feature did not work on ANY of them at all which is the whole point of a 3DS! Price should be drop to 150 for what they offer. Oh and finally none of the serial numbers are legit. I checked them on Nintendo official site and always said serial number is not a registered Nintendo device. Funny enough my final replacement didn’t even come with a serial number. They just took off the sticker and sent it out.

I usually am worried about buying used consoles, especially online. But I was not disappointed when I bought this!🙂 I got the white 3ds xl and the touch screen, buttons, 3d effect, and everything work as it should. There are only tiny scratches around the corners, but it was expected and honestly isn’t that noticeable unless you really look up close. The screen itself has not a single scratch. Also, once I got the console out of the box I noticed it was the Japanese 3ds ll, thinking I was getting the regular 3ds xl. It made me really worried if it was region locked, but all my games work and that’s the only thing I care about lol. Overall, I definitely think it was worth the money! I grew up mostly playing regular ds games on my dsi xl, so I am excited to play games I missed out on🥰

Seller: Base Electronics Overall, the condition of the console was great. The unit feels very sturdy, and the hinges are tight—it takes a bit of force to open and it snaps shut nicely. All buttons appear to be fully functional so far, and I haven’t run into any issues. The console I received was reshelled and still had the protective film on it. The colors look great, but it did not come with a serial number. The screens are practically flawless, although I did notice a few dust particles under the screen protector, which I hope won’t cause any issues down the line. I also noticed that some buyers received a charger with their unit, but mine did not. That may be seller-dependent, especially since this console originally did not come with a charger. Overall, I’m happy with what I received. The main downsides were the missing serial number, the dust under the screen, and a slightly misaligned shell—but it snapped into place after a small adjustment. If you’re buying a unit, this might be one of the more reasonably priced sellers. *case and screen protector were not included

I was skeptical, but received mine and it looks barely used! No scratches or blemishes that I could see and already had screen protectors on. Came in a nice leather or leatherette zelda case with knock off charger that works just fine! The stylus looks replaced but also works fine. Came 1/4 charged and is holding a charge really well after fully charging. Works perfectly, screens, buttons, sound, and 3d feature are all awesome! Super happy with my purchase and excited to play some of my childhood faves! Thank you for offering these systems!

October 2024 (Keep reading to see update...) This is my first ever 3DS XL/LL and I am so pleasantly surprised with what I recieved although I did notice a few things that might be notable to others who also plan on buying one. Originally, it was supposed to come in within a week but I ended up recieving it within only 3 days! (This might vary where you live). The 3DS also comes with a standard charger and it was package really neatly covered in bubble wrap within a small box. When I inspected the 3DS I noticed a lot of things especially the back cover which says it's an LL (japanese ver) but when I opened the 3DS up, it wasn't region locked and ran normally like a normal region free 3DS. I also noticed a lot of small dents around the 3DS, the most notable one being the one on the top of the DS where there is a huge visible crack and a hole. There's also smaller dents around the 3DS but they are only really noticable when hit at certain lights since they're quite small. The SD card cover was also slightly more yellowed compared to everything else on the 3DS. These visual effects probably won't even bother me since I plan on adding a case and decorating it but it's important to know/expect that there might be defects or blemishes since it is a renewed game console. Besides that, everything works and it's in great condition! Update: December 2024 The touch screen has now given up on me within only 2 months. For something that costed $300, this is disappointing. I've taken care of my 3DS since I first got it. I've never dropped it, played it and stored it in a safe place, even making sure to have a case and screen protectors. Even with the best care, protection, and set up, it still became broken. I have bought another 3DS elsewhere and in comparison, it was more affordable, is lasting me way longer, and looked way nicer with barely no scratches at all. It even came in with its ORIGINAL charger and case. For the second 3DS, I only had to pay $150 which is half the price. Of course there is a solution, to bring it in and have it fixed somewhere or even fix it myself, but a $300 refurbished device that is expected to be in very good conditon, this is disappointing.

Only issue is the bottom of the touch pad doesn't work, and the down button on the dpad doesn't work 100% of the time, and the charger sent with it doesn't function at all. Overall the quality is pretty good, definitely a bit to pricy, battery seems fine, just need a new charger.

Based on the mixed reviews I didn’t expect to get this good of a 3ds I bought mine in “excellent condition” and it looks pretty much brand new. There’s like one tiny tiny scratch that’s not really noticeable unless you look real close so It doesn't really bother me. It came with a stylus and a charger no SD card though which is fine. The charger doesn’t fit in all the way I don’t remember if that’s normal since I hadn’t had a 3ds for awhile but it still works and charges fine so I don’t really care. Oh and the cameras work fine. Update: The charger gave out. (One of the soldered wires in the inside of the charger detached). The charger seemed pretty cheap and light weight from the get go, but I thought it would be fine since it worked in the beginning. I recommend getting another charger before It might give out, just in case. Other than that still no complaints.
