Nintendo New 3DS XL, Galaxy Style Premium Bundle (Renewed)

Works great, sadly I have dropped mine too many times and need to reshell it now. I use it daily while I’m waiting for other people to do their jobs. Definitely worth the money, but I do recommend getting screen protectors. Even though the top ones tend to crack, it’s better to crack a protector than your screen.

I don't want to say the 3DS is bad. The outside was pretty damage free minus minor markings, the inside looked flawless, and it ran fine. It booted up with some already set up information, but I was transferring from my 2DS to this so it was fine. The console has modified software, and on top of that, modified software that makes it hard to know you have without plugging the SD card into the computer. The end goal was a Luma configuration anyways so it was just a tedious set up process. The circle pad felt bad. Coming from from the previous 2DS, I felt the circle pad was just too slippery. I also found the volume and 3D button to be a bit hard to move, being almost sticky. Not gross snot sticky, but the case was too tight around it sticky. After transferring some information over, I noticed that the top of my screen there was a white line, very faintly, in the top left of the screen. I wasn't about to skeletonize my new 3ds just to fix this issue. And with everything else, I was almost feeling defeated. I decided to just stick with it until the 7 day transfer cool off period. I gave it a fair shot and to be fair, the white line was barely noticeable during "light" play, like games with bright backgrounds. But when playing dark games, like night time Animal Crossing, certain Warioware levels, night time Nintendogs, it was more noticeable and distracting. But also, I found out the outside of the body isn't a real Nintendo Galaxy body, hence why the volume and 3D slider were so sticky. And honestly, I don't really see that being a major issue unless you're a collector. It's just not what I was looking for. With modifications already installed but impossible to access, a white line on the screen only noticeable after transferring my data over, the circle pad not feeling fantastic, and not being a real body making most New 3DS XL add ons not work with the system (like buying a clear case for example), I decided it wasn't for me. But I wouldn't say it's a bad system.

The console itself is fantastic, it's in excellent condition and exactly as described. The comedy begins with the "90-day warranty" sticker placed over the screw that gives access to the user-replaceable microSD card. On a New Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo literally designed the system so owners remove the back cover to access the storage. Covering that screw with a tamper seal is like putting a warranty sticker over a car's gas cap and saying, "Good luck!" If the warranty allows normal maintenance, say so. If it doesn't, that's a pretty odd warranty for a device whose storage is meant to be user accessible. Great console, questionable sticker strategy. I am going to add this..... I have removed the sticker and have inserted my memory card, as such the device seems to be working. I also want to post this here so others know that a vendor can not do what this vendor did. If there is a user replaceable part it is illegal to not honor the warranty, unless the vendor can prove that me opening the cover to replace a user replaceable part is what caused the device to fail. Here is the legal info. If you are in the United States, those "Warranty Void If Removed" stickers are actually completely illegal and unenforceable. Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a company cannot void your hardware warranty just for opening a battery door or upgrading a user-serviceable part (like an SD card) unless they can prove that your specific action broke the console. The Statute: The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 Specific Section: 15 U.S.C. § 2302(c) The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces this law strictly and has issued severe public warnings to major gaming companies: The 2018 Warning Letters: The FTC Warning Actions targeted major console creators—including Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft—forcing them to alter their global consumer text because "Warranty Void if Altered/Removed" clauses violate federal law. The 2024 Warning Letters: The FTC Press Release targeted modern hardware brands like ASRock, Zotac, and Gigabyte specifically for placing "void if removed" stickers over screw holes.

Do not buy this if you live in North America. Consoles are for Europe only. I bought this to replace one I had and I cannot use any of my original games and it will not connect to the eshop.. An SD card came with it, even though it uses microSD's. It was a huge waste of money. It is now just an expensive paper weight.

Packaging Great There no single damage Console very protected Working and Great

The console itself arrived fine. Was as described. However, there were a couple of issues. The case that it came with was a different color than pictured... not a huge biggie since my child didn't care about that, but it was an annoyance. I was glad the correct console style was there inside the case though. That being said, my bundle didn't come complete as the stylus and screen protectors were missing. Like another reviewer, I did find it annoying that they had a sticker placed over one of the screws that you have to access to get to the microSD card.

Everything that was advertised came in safely. There were no signs of opening, tearing, or damage whatsoever. The system itself was tucked into the carrying case, along with a spare stylus. There were no scratches, glitches, or any other problems to be seen

It was ok. The software was modified and the touch screen feels off.
