@DP: If you do end up wanting to buy a 3DS (regular or XL), I highly recommended checking out the nintendo's official webstore for refurbished consoles. The prices are awesome, and the reviews for it are great. Most people just end up with one or two 'cosmetic damage' (some scratches at the corners and such). I bought mine from there, and I seriously haven't found a single flaw with it. Got a friend to check for damages as well in case I was being optimistic or something, and he agreed it looked completely new. My 3DS XL ended up being cheaper than a regular 3DS in stores. -Cough- Anyway...

Wow, those prices are very nice. Better than the used Amazon prices I had been looking at before. I'll definitely consider that, thanks! :D
