The Nintendo Online Store is now selling refurbished Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DSi XL systems.
Currently, Aqua Blue and Midnight Purple 3DS systems sell for $129.99 standalone or $169.98 with a copy of Ocarina of Time 3D. Metallic Rose and Midnight Blue DSi XL systems go for $99.99 or $129.98 with a copy of Mario Kart DS. All of the products come with a one year warranty.
You can find these and other Nintendo products here at the Nintendo Online Store.
Hmm. Interesting. I would have expected a better price though, the Dsi XL is only 10 dollars less than Gamestop. But I guess that's not too bad considering it comes with a free game (good ones, at that) and is refurbished by Nintendo, which may count for something in quality standards.
not a bad deal but WHY do you want an XL

And a refurbished console is better than preowned. I bought a refurbished iPad 3 for my mother and it is (for all intents and purposes) completely new.
Gamestop refurbished basically means they plugged it in and turned it on, and the screen may have been wiped down. This is great news from Nintendo. I'm surprised all three console makers didn't start doing this years ago.
