So, my brother and I were talking about the 3DS the other day and trying to find the best deal for it, now the XL is still going for about $200. But, I decided to go look at Nintendo's online store and take a gander at the refurbished units, where were, for obvious reasons, a lot cheaper than they were for the same XL models on Amazon or Best Buy. This begs the question, if he or I decided to ever get a 3DS, can refurbished units even be trusted to last a good long time, esp. if we take as good as care as possible? Now I have a hard time trusting used electronics, as I don't know from the time I get it on how long it'll last, so naturally, I'm wary about a refurbished unit.
I don't care about the firmware version it's on, that's not an issue for me, and sure, the New 3DS/XL is coming out in 2015, but that's still a while away. So I guess what I'm trying to ask is, are refurbished units worth getting through Nintendo and will it still be more reliable and longer-lasting than getting it used from some dude on Craigslist or eBay? And also, given the fact I've had bad luck twice before, what games would you guys recommend to avoid, uh, making that mistake again? Thanks
