However, that left me in a situation where I would have two 3DS consoles when I really only needed one so I decided to trade in my original Nintendo 3DS to take care of that problem.<\/p>\n<p>EB Games have an offer going whereby if you trade in your original Nintendo 3DS and purchase New Super Mario Bros 2 you can seal the deal at $99 (compared to $129 if you just want to trade in your Nintendo 3DS without buying a game). As I had already bought New Super Mario Bros 2 last weekend I decided to have that refunded and bundled in with the trade in.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure there are other good or better deals out there but I was happy to be able to at least keep my device count static (which reminds me that I have to sell off a couple of old smartphones).\u00a0Anyway, EB Games are kindly allowing customers a week to perform a system transfer before parting with their Nintendo 3DS so stay tuned for the &#8220;how to&#8221; video that will take you though the steps required to complete that task.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here is the unboxing and preview video of the Nintendo 3DS XL for your viewing pleasure. I show you what is in the box, compare the 3DS XL against the standard 3DS to give you an idea of its size and have a quick look around the device itself<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"760\" height=\"452\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IHSLNYEuj9M\" frameborder=\"0\" type=\"text\/html\"><\/iframe>\n<p>FYI \u2013 the video will be available in up to 1080p (YouTube can take a little while to process the higher resolutions) if you right click on the video and choose \u201cWatch on YouTube\u201d and change the resolution setting.
