About the New 2DS XL

We don't recommend buying the New 2DS XL for a multitude of reasons:

• Higher rate of FCRAM failure
• Higher rate of NAND failure
• No 3D (obviously)
• Low quality build despite being in the "New" line
• High price despite being a budget console
• Speakers placed where your hand goes
• Backplate uses tri-point screws despite other models using #00 JIS
• Tiny stylus
• Hinge prone to snapping
• Difficult to repair (e.g battery glued in place)
• Lower battery capacity (1500mAh vs 1750mAh)
• No charging cradle
• LCD light bleeds through the shell on orange and white models
• Matte finish is prone to scratching

We are of course not saying to get rid of it if you already own one, but if you are in the market for a new 3DS it's best to avoid the n2DSXL for the reasons above.
