I'm not sure why people are wasting money on antiquated hardware. With two confirmed games for the n3DS I see them moving everyone over to a n3DS within the next year slowly phasing the o3(2)ds out.
I'm "wasting" money on "antiquated" hardware because I don't HAVE the extra money. I have 400$. Pretty much my only option is to get a 2DS if want a cap card right now, and I don't care about how it looks or anything.
