i mean, i just found these which are all new and like $200. on amazon they seem to be like $140-$160ish used and on ebay you can find some refurbished ones that are like $140 also.

if you're gonna buy the japanese one then you do need to install cfw to play out of region games tho assuming you're not in japan. the ebay one i sent seems to be NA region i think.

Online they're showing $199 that's the normal price, $150 would be a sale price.

If you want $150 and an import you're going to have to go used

Figure this isn't important enough to have it's own topic:

I snagged a black Japanese N3DS (non-XL) off Amazon with the intent of replacing my trusty N3DS XL, knowing the restrictions on system transfers between regions, along with being unable to access the E-shop. I knew it would ship with an old firmware, but this one had 9.1.0J, a cakewalk.

Took less than two hours to completely install A9LH as well as change the region to USA using the reportedly-obsolete page in the guide (Luma3DS's region emulation only covers games, not the system menu?). Everything looks great aside from accessing the eshop, and i'm in the process of slowly moving my games and saves over, they're all working thus far.

My question is, what is keeping the eshop from working, along with system transfers? From what I can tell, as far as the console is concerned, it thinks it's a legit USA console, as it updated from the patched 9.2.0U to 11.0.0U perfectly and responds to the 11.0.0-33-USA payload for the homebrew launcher. Not only this, but perhaps in the future, Decrypt9 could handle offline system transfers? We can already dump and inject various files and partitions, but no mention on using those to transfer friend and eshop data between two A9LH'd consoles. I can live without moving my friend's list and measly e-shop purchases over, but it would be handy.

Here's the Amazon link for the console in question in case anyone wants to snatch one up. I'm going to use both the smaller and larger N3DSes for a week and sell the one I prefer less on Craigslist. So far, i'm loving the more compact design, as well as the matte finish, shame that Nintendo isn't interesting in releasing it in the states.

Edit: Found this nice lengthy guide on getting eshop going, see y'all in a few hours

I want to upgrade from my OG3DS, but the XL is just way too big. Would there be issues if I bought this and installed homebrew/cfw to play my old games?
