Finally got myself a new 3ds XL

Just picked up this metallic red new 3DS XL, and it's a dual ips model also. Prices for these handhelds have been insane lately, but luckily I managed to snag this one for around $180.

Of course, it comes with some cosmetic flaws like paint peeling on both sides and minor scuffs here and there (Luckily the front and back still looks good) The bottom screen also has slight vignetting in 4 corners. But honestly at $180, no complaints, lol. As soon as it arrived, I put on a clear shell to prevent further peeling.

The first and also last DS I owned was a DS Lite back in 2011, which unfortunately broke around 2014. Fast forward to now, I finally have the chance to experience the 3DS library along with my childhood DS favorites. Loving the 3DS so far!
