http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/08/3dsxl.jpg (http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/12/nintendo-refurbished-3dsxl/)If you've been waiting for a price drop before upgrading to a 3DS XL (http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/10/nintendo-3ds-xl-review/), Nintendo has the next best thing for you: a refurbished trio of its up-sized 3D handhelds. They typically run $200 new, but you can get a redone unit for $170, or $180 with a 16GB SD memory card, in red, black or blue direct from the manufacturer. If you don't mind dropping the XL, a reworked aqua blue or midnight purple 3DS (http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/21/nintendo-3ds-review/) has lowered fromApril's price (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/29/nintendo-now-selling-refurbished-dsi-xl-and-3ds-from-100-and-up/) of $130 to $120, or $50 off compared to new. In all cases, Nintendo refurbs come with a one-year warranty and -- aside from the possibility of some "minor cosmetic blemishes" -- the Japanese manufacturer assures us that its quality standards are "VERY high". (Their caps, not ours.)
