Just got my n3ds xl back from @vb_encryption_vb. Very clean professional hardmod install and also region swapped sysnand(JP->US) and installed arm9 for me. Couldn't be happier. Definitely recommend if you are in US.
Signed up here just to get in contact w/ @vb_encryption_vb about hardmod installation, well worth the $60 for the professional and clean hardmod installation. (seriously, that jack legit looks like it's just part of the system) Would highly recommend if you've got $60 spare and you're in the united states.
He was also quite polite and was able to answer any questions I had very quickly.

how much it cost to get one of those micro usb things installed on my n3ds xl I like the quality of what was shown
I really want to say, @gamesquest1 did a really exemplary job sorting out my 3DS.
He downgraded it to 9.2.0 for me, which saved me the trouble. The mod itself was of a surprisingly admirable aesthetic quality, the likes of which I hadn't seen (he hid the plug for the SD card connector in one of the lanyard housings at the bottom corners of the 3DS, you wouldn't know it's there unless you were looking for it). And he even went so far as to fix a chip in my case!
To say I was pleasantly surprised by the results would be an understatement!
I hooked it up to my computer, made another SysNand backup to compare with a softmod one I'd gotten from homebrew, and then went on to install EmuNand and unlink with a great safety net in place. Oh, I also want to praise him for not losing my SysNand data on downgrading. I had most things backed up, just in case, but my swapnotes weren't something I could nab beforehand (thanks to Nintendo building that data into the actual app and not allowing backups of it) and they do have a little sentimental value. I was prepared to lose them, but I didn't! NNID data in place and all. Great stuff.
Overall, I'm just really impressed. If you're in the UK, and you need a hardmod and/or downgrade, I really can't recommend him enough. Nice person to talk to, too. Just overall very professional. And I couldn't be happier!

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell". -

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
