I have a budget of $250 for a 3DS, and im looking to get one from ebay. Which one do i get is the real question.

I love my N3dsXL, so I'd recommend it.

does that mean new 3ds xl or normal 3ds xl?

Yea, the New 3DS XL model is the king of all 3DS's.

...It's exactly as powerful as the non-XL New 3DS and the New 2DS XL.

If you don't like 3D and the New 3DS XL is too expensive, you don't have much to lose by getting the New 2DS XL, though some people find the build quality is somewhat diminished. No easily-removable battery, for instance – though the SD card is easily removable. On the other hand, you probably should be handling the SD card if you can avoid it.

And of course if you get a Japanese unit, you can easily install CFW to remove the region lock. (You can even do a full region change, but that comes with some risks that might not be worth it just to have English menus you're probably not going to look at very much anyway.)

This is all well-documented all over the Internet at this point.

Or the New 2DS if you're not going to use the 3D feature often, and it's half the price than the New 3DS model.

Just look for one local. I got a N3DS Xl from offerup for like, 180 bones.

Also. avoid ones marketed as modded, there's an OLD 3DS XL in my area being sold for $250 just because it is modded
